Viva La Persistence
Dawson Kimya Lyrics

I dreamed I thanked Scott Ian for persistence of time
In my dream, I expressed gratitude to Scott Ian for his album 'Persistence of Time,' which had a profound impact on my life.

Back when Steve and Eva died that album changed my life
During a difficult time when Steve and Eva passed away, this album became a catalyst for a significant transformation in my life.

It was a package of pure darkness tied up with a silver string
The album was a powerful, introspective collection of songs that conveyed deep emotional intensity, symbolized by a silver string wrapping.

Delivered by a fast train rearranging how I think
The album's impact was swift and transformative, completely reshaping my perspectives and thought processes.

He said 'I can't believe you even know that I exist,
Scott Ian expressed disbelief that I was aware of his existence,

I've got all of your albums and I think you are the best'
Expressing admiration, I informed him that I possess all of his albums and consider him exceptionally talented.

He started to cry and I started to laugh
Overwhelmed with emotion, Scott Ian began weeping, while I found the situation ironic and amusing.

I gave him a hug and he gave me his autograph
To console and connect with him, I embraced Scott Ian, and in return, he gave me his autograph as a token of gratitude.

Reeling in my disbelief, I know that it was just a dream
Feeling overwhelmed by the surreal nature of the experience, I came to the realization that it was merely a product of my imagination.

All the covers that I see are different from the books I read
Observing the stark differences between the appearances of things and their true nature, I realize that reality often deviates from initial perceptions.

Everything is crumbling around me
My surroundings and circumstances are falling apart, causing chaos and instability in my life.

Why does everything cost so much money?
I question why the price of everything seems exorbitant and unaffordable.

Could somebody please help out my family?
I plead for assistance or support to alleviate the hardships faced by my family.

My mom needs hearing aids, new shoulders, and new legs
My mother requires hearing aids, as well as medical procedures to enhance her physical well-being.

My dad needs a break, he works all day, every day
My father is in desperate need of some time off since he tirelessly works every day to support our family.

My brother needs a place and a job where he can make enough money to take care of his baby
My brother requires a stable residence and employment opportunity that allow him to financially provide for his child.

Here's a simple dissertation on a complex situation
Presenting a straightforward analysis of a convoluted issue.

Money and intimidation and mass graves make strong foundations
The accumulation of wealth, use of fear tactics, and disregard for human lives serve as pillars upon which powerful entities build their dominance.

For the giant corporations that own all the TV. stations
Referring to the immense conglomerates that hold ownership over television networks.

Telling us to take vacations to their big theme park plantations
These corporations manipulate us into visiting their expansive amusement parks by marketing them as desirable destinations.

Rather than to hearts of nations
Instead of fostering genuine connections between people and different cultures.

Where we might meet people on the street who say
In these nations, we have the opportunity to encounter individuals who express:

'I don't want my MTV cause it brought viva to its knees'
Some individuals reject the influence of MTV as they believe it has negatively impacted a certain place or community.

And mom and pop are begging 'Please, globalization's killing me'
Local, independent businesses are desperately pleading for a halt to globalization, which they perceive as causing their downfall.

While we think that they think they need all of the things we think we need
Meanwhile, we erroneously assume that they believe they require the same material possessions that we mistakenly deem essential.

Like Martha Stewart shams and sheets and sugar-free powdered iced tea
We believe we need luxurious bedding products promoted by Martha Stewart, alongside products like sugar-free powdered iced tea.

Vanilla coke, lemon pepsi, Friends episodes on DVD
We attach significance to seemingly trivial items like Vanilla Coke, Lemon Pepsi, and owning episodes of the television show Friends on DVD.

I went to see the doctor of psychiatry
I visited a psychiatric specialist seeking professional help.

Weapons of mass instruction finally broke me
The manipulative tactics employed by societal educational systems eventually overwhelmed and broke my spirit.

He said 'Act your age, don't be afraid, take two of these
Offering advice, the doctor recommended that I behave accordingly for my age and prescribed me medication.

Now listen real hard, put down that guitar
Instructing me to focus and pay close attention, the doctor urged me to set aside my guitar.

Don't be a retard, be all that you can be'
Using offensive language, the doctor discouraged me from being intellectually disabled and advised me to realize my full potential.

The things he said I could be were laid out right in front of me
The doctor presented various paths I could follow, all of which were readily available and visible to me.

Would I choose deep-fried apathy, McNuggets where my balls should be
I had to decide between embracing a state of emotional indifference, symbolized by deep-fried apathy, or surrendering my masculinity and integrity.

Or super-sized conformity? I walked away and I'm still me
Alternatively, I could succumb to overwhelming societal conformity, but instead, I chose to distance myself from such influences and remain true to my authentic self.

Free to go fucking crazy, free to know why I'm angry
Embracing my freedom, I am at liberty to express myself in an unconventional manner and understand the reasons behind my frustration.

One and one and one is three and you and me is all I need
Simplifying the concept of companionship and unity, I believe that the combination of individuals can create a profound sense of fulfillment.

Singing songs, drawing cocks, picking locks to locked doors
I engage in activities such as singing songs, creating provocative artwork, and overcoming obstacles to access restricted spaces.

Find deflated hearts, and pump them up
I seek out individuals who have lost hope or enthusiasm and strive to inspire and uplift their spirits.
