Wonderland
Demon Lyrics

Still they dig for gold
Despite the risks and dangers, people continue to search for wealth and success.

Fooled on city streets
Deceived and misled by the urban environment, which can be both alluring and dangerous.

With no regard for mine
Without consideration for the potential harm or damage that their actions may cause to others or to themselves.

We watch the same repeats
We keep repeating the same patterns and making the same mistakes, without learning from our past experiences.

Repeat the same mistakes
We keep making the same errors and misjudgments, even when we know better.

And swore we'd get it right next time
Despite our history of making mistakes, we remain optimistic and hopeful that we will succeed in the future.

Riding high in Wonderland
Feeling elated and empowered, as if one is living in a magical, imaginary world.

Who runs the northern line?

Who rules the Union Jack?

Nothing's really cricket, watch the score
Acknowledging that life is sometimes unfair and unpredictable, and that we need to be vigilant and aware of our surroundings.

After all we heard it all before
Despite being exposed to a wide range of ideas and perspectives, we often fall back on familiar habits and routines.

And still the wheels go round
Despite our efforts to change or improve things, the world keeps turning and events keep unfolding.

And for all the changes that were made
Even though progress has been achieved in certain areas, other problems and challenges continue to persist.

British standard, where's the standard?
