Sick World
E-Town Concrete Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a sick sick world.
Die laughing, die w/ passion. die fast and go out blasting.
When the only thing that matters is GI Joes, this world is
Less complex I suppose. if time froze at the age of innocence,
Life at it's purest form. the simplest. recognize change starts
From within. remember before we started to sin? and kids
Were allowed to be kids? where's the innocence?
Die laughing, die w/ passion. die fast and go out blasting.

Fuck the world. keep blasting.
They say there's something wrong with us. maybe we lost
Touch, maybe we fucked up. but I don't think there's
Something wrong with us, I think you lost touch. I think
You fucked up. point the finger at your self this time.
Do we love our children or neglect them? when they speak
Do you listen? do you pay attention? pay attention. kids are
Starving for attention. for so long. ask yourself, where did
We go wrong?
Call me insane. the internet has corrupted my brain.
Desensitized by video games. pulling me in. making me sin.

Recognize change starts from within.
It's a sick sick world. hahaha. who's laughing now?

Overall Meaning

The song "Sick World" by E-Town Concrete is a commentary on the state of society and how it affects individuals, particularly children. The lyrics address the loss of innocence and the corruption that occurs in people's minds as they grow up and are exposed to the harsh realities of the world. The repeated phrase "die laughing, die w/ passion. die fast and go out blasting" is a call to action for the listener to stand up and fight against the negativity and oppression that surrounds them, even if it means going out in a blaze of glory.

The lyrics touch on the idea that when people were children, life was simpler and more innocent, but they have lost that purity as they have matured. The line "if time froze at the age of innocence, life at it's purest form. the simplest" suggests that people should strive to maintain that childlike innocence and simplicity. The song also challenges the listener to question their own parenting skills and whether they are giving their children the attention they deserve. The line "kids are starving for attention. for so long. ask yourself, where did we go wrong?" questions the societal values that prioritize material possessions over nurturing and caring for children.
