Words Of Wisdom
Jinjer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Word is a gift
Word is a sword
Word is a gun always ready for war
Mistakenly taken
Gracefully faken
A hill of shit is played off as a stack of gold
Filtered through restrictions
Destiled passive perception
My words of wisdom
Go in one ear and out the other

Yet untold, still unheard
A shield built here, against warning and alert
Yet untold, still unheard
A shield built against warning and alert

For consciousness never bothered
For the minds never taught to listen
My words of wisdom
Go in one ear and out the other
For consciousness never bothered
For the minds never taught to listen
My words of wisdom
Go in one ear and out the other

Like cattle chew your grass
Of recreating advertising
Ears are deaf, not customized
To what is meaningful and wise
Sleeping notion lies unconscious
Under absurd lullaby
It's time I wake it up with a bullet of
Words of wisdom in my mind

Yet untold, still unheard
A shield built here, against warning and alert
Yet untold, still unheard
A shield built against warning and alert

For consciousness never bothered
For the minds never taught to listen
My words of wisdom
Go in one ear and out the other
For consciousness never bothered
For the minds never taught to listen




My words of wisdom
Go in one ear and out the other

@theshapeeternal_8388

@wendywonka2925

Tati the best female singer in my eyes too, she blows the competition out of the water with her vocal range. MY goodness!, when tati sings 'I want it' metal sounds so brutal in Ukrainian, I've never wanted to learn it before, but how I do just to sing along with that song! I even found myself looking up the cyrillic alphabet the other day XD XD XD

@Stadno

She is Ukrainian? WHAAT? Wouldn't have picked it, I'm Ukrainian myself. I'm just discovering this band. They got my attention.
