Forced March
Earth Crisis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forced march down this path of sorrow to an end that doesn't justify. Hands
Chained, running driven upon those that fall they tread.
Conditioned by a warped value system to not look back, just push
Ahead. Lives of excess, lust and material greed.
A slave to their own desires, apathetic to those in need. Devoid of love no
Peace inside. Blinded by their manic greed.
Thoughts consumed with the thoughts of the worthless.
Devoid of love no peace inside. Blinded by their manic greed.
Thoughts consumed with the thoughts of the worthless.
This is their reality.
I have to free myself from all this madness in my struggle to survive.
As time progresses time reveals the
Answers. At last I break through the surface and come to life.
Minds filled with turmoil, nothing pacifies. Forced march down
This path of sorrow to an end that doesn't justify.
Hands chained, running driven upon those that fall they tread.
Conditioned by a warped value system to not look back, just push ahead.
Lives of excess, lust and material greed. A slave to
Their own desires, apathetic to those in need.
Devoid of love no peace inside. Blinded by their manic greed. Thoughts
Consumed with the thoughts of the worthless.
This is their reality.
The lyrics of Earth Crisis's song Forced March highlight the destructive and self-devouring nature of humanity fueled by the desire for excess, greed, and materialism. The song describes a bleak reality where people are conditioned to value material wealth and personal desires above all else, leading them to become apathetic to those in need and consumed by thoughts of worthlessness. The image of a forced march down a path of sorrow where those who fall behind are trampled on by those in front of them shows the ruthless nature of this society. The use of the phrase "conditioned by a warped value system" suggests that this behavior is not natural but rather a result of societal values that have become skewed and harmful.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of personal struggle and the need to break free from this destructive reality. The repetition of "devoid of love no peace inside" suggests that the source of this destructive behavior is a lack of love and connection, leaving people empty and obsessed with acquiring things. However, the singer acknowledges that they must free themselves from this madness in order to survive.
Overall, the lyrics of Forced March highlight the negative consequences of a society driven by materialism and personal excess, urging listeners to break free from this destructive mentality and embrace love and connection.
