Indifference
Demented Sanity Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shame, fight, despair forced upon us
Bloodshed, the offspring of our difference
Choice, rights, life, the face of freedom,
now just look inside

Never asking when or why they follow roots of lies
where the blinded shepherd leads in ignorance they graze on life,
you stand beside your empty lies,

the victim dies! Let's see you testify! How can you justify?!

There's no
greater shame

When fears change to blood,
can you feel the pain?

Our price for Indifference

This is your life (this is your life),
this is your life, there's no shame,
this is your life (your life),
you'll never be ignored

Their fear, shame on our conscience,
silence is consent!

You watch yourself feeling so self-righteous,
your silence killed again

This ain't a cry for compassion, this is your wake up call to be ashamed!
Can't you feel their pain? Pain, pain, can't you feel that there's no greater shame, greater shame?

When fears change to blood,
can you feel the pain?

Our price for Indifference

This is your life (this is your life),
this is your life, there's no shame,
this is your life (your life),
you'll never be ignored

Nevermore we'll sit beside,
I will not succumb to pride
Nevermore we'll sit beside,
I will not succumb to pride

Nevermore, nevermore!

Nevermore we'll sit beside,
I will not succumb to
pride!

Let's see you testify!
How can you justify?!

How can you justify?!
Let's see you testify!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Demented Sanity's song Indifference address the themes of shame, fight, and despair that are imposed upon individuals. The lyrics describe the consequences of differences and how they result in bloodshed. The choices and rights that the lyrics claim are supposed to be the face of freedom have been lost. Instead, people have followed the roots of lies and allowed themselves to be led by a blinded shepherd who leads them in ignorance. As a result, victims die, and the witness remains silent. The lyrics are critical of people who do not analyze why they follow others, even when it leads to destruction, and calls upon them to stand up and testify and justify the pain they have inflicted.
