Fear Factory Lyrics

You waste away
You're living a life of inaction and letting opportunities slip through your fingers.

A spinning cage
You're living in a world where you feel trapped and unable to escape.

Mass blinded by the sun
The world is in a state where groupthink and confirmation bias leads to people following blindly whatever they perceive to be the most popular current opinion or trend.

You spend your day
You devote your time to activities that don't feel fulfilling or meaningful.

Stuck in a race
You're caught up in competing against others, constantly measuring yourself against their level of success in a never-ending treadmill of achievement.

And life has just begun
You have your entire life ahead of you, and it's important to live it with intention and purpose.

A paradise is in eclipse
The world you thought you knew is being revealed to be far less idyllic than you'd imagined.

And lives are lost
People are dying, and it's not always clear why or how to prevent it.

And for distress
There's a sense of unease and anxiety hanging over everything.

The wage of sin is money spent
The cost of indulging in the wrong things in life has become quite high, and it's taking a toll on you financially.

Your life a debt full of regret
You look back on your life so far and can only see mistakes and missed opportunities.

We are lost in the maze
It feels like there's no clear direction or path to follow in life.

Falling
Things are not going well or progressing as hoped.

And now your life
You're currently at a point where you realize how little you've achieved and the burden of your choices is weighing heavily on you.

Amounts to nothing
You don't feel like you've done anything worthwhile or meaningful with your life so far.

A fortune has a price
Wealth comes at a cost, and sometimes it feels like it's not worth the price paid.

Cause in the end
Ultimately, after everything is said and done,

All humans die
We all have a finite amount of time on this earth.

A debt your in the hide
You're burdened by the weight of your past decisions, and paying it off seems impossible.

The wage of sin is memory spent
Indulging in the wrong things carries a hidden cost, namely that your memories of these events will be tainted with regret or shame.

Falling away again...
Despite your best efforts, you can't seem to escape the cycle of feeling inadequate, experiencing setbacks, and slipping back into bad habits.

Lost in the maze
The sense of directionlessness and confusion continues, and it feels like you're getting nowhere.
