Eyes Wide Shut
Hoods Up Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't you hear their screams at night? /
It's like animal's life is not a right /
They're suffering and dying, just for us /
How can we be so unjust? /
We try, we try, we try, we try /
That's what we can do /
It's so sad to ignore their cries /
So fuckin' sad to close our eyes /

They scream, they bleed, fuckin' die /
Until the day we try /
We try, we try, we try, we try /
That's what we can do /
In the name of progression /
We hide our lust /
We just consume to satisfy /
We don't kill to stay alive we have to stop /
Rethink /
The first thing we can do is to try /
Try to change ourselves

(one thing most people will agree on is that it's wrong to kill, it's
Especially wrong to kill when it's not necessary. living in an abundant
World where you have so many alternatives to eating meat, why take
Lives? why take animal lives? humans are the only species on this planet
That choose to kill for sport or lust. no other species will ever kill
Just for fun. many say that humans are superior to animals and their
Life is not that valuable and so we can decide about their life and
Death but if we are superior to them that's the fact why we should
Behave decently to animals. we are the species capable of imagination,

Rationality, and moral choice and that is why we are under an obligation
To recognize and respect the rights of animals.)
