Momentum
FGFC820 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The world sags beneath our weight
Parasites, we suck it dry
Like rats lost in a maze
Stupid creatures born to die

There is no destiny
No higher hand of fate
No place in history
Just eternity to waste

We collide
Then break away
Our lives
Are just momentum
We attract
Because we can't
Turn back
It's all for nothing

Search for meaning from above
Assemble random events
To support the myth of life
It's just cause and effect

We turn our backs on reason
Deny our inevitable ends




Narcissistic hypocrites
It's our last defense

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to FGFC820's song Momentum offer a bleak commentary on humanity's impact on the world and our search for meaning in life. The first two lines paint a picture of human beings as parasitic creatures who exploit and drain the resources of the world around us. The metaphor of rats lost in a maze suggests that we are lost and directionless in our quest for purpose and fulfillment.


The next stanza further emphasizes the nihilistic tone of the song, suggesting that there is no higher purpose or destiny for us to fulfill. Instead, we are doomed to wander aimlessly through eternity, with no place in history or larger context to give our lives meaning. The chorus of the song highlights this sense of directionlessness, with the repeated phrase "Our lives are just momentum" suggesting that our existence is little more than a series of random events pushing us forward without any real goal or purpose.


The final stanza of the song takes a more critical tone, suggesting that our search for meaning is ultimately futile and narcissistic. We turn our backs on reason and deny the inevitability of our own mortality in an attempt to preserve our sense of self-importance.


Overall, the lyrics to Momentum paint a bleak picture of humanity's place in the world and our search for purpose and meaning in life.
