Ignorance Is Piss
Left Spine Down Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything we have to live for's not enough for you
Work so hard to give so much as we come under fire
But you can never care as such, it seems now we're the liar
The only reason you don't see this
The only reason you can't hear this
The only reason you won't feel this
Everything we have to give
Everything we have to live for's not enough for you
Please feel free to be too cool, as we will not be shaken
Please feel free to play the fool as things are undertaken
Everything we have to give exceeds your field of view
Everything we have to live for's not enough for you
Left Spine Down's song "Ignorance Is Piss" is a protest song that talks about the frustration of people who are working hard to make a better life for themselves, their families, and their communities. The song starts off by saying that people have so much to offer, but it goes unnoticed because of other people's narrow-minded views. The line "Everything we have to give exceeds your field of view" suggests that some people are so limited in their knowledge and understanding that they cannot see the potential of others.
The second line of the first verse, "Everything we have to live for's not enough for you" implies that people are working hard to achieve their goals, but their efforts are not appreciated by others. This is further emphasized in the third line, where the lyricist laments coming under fire for trying to do good.
The chorus of the song highlights the main message, stating that ignorance is the main reason why people cannot see, hear or feel the struggles of others. People who are ignorant tend to remain oblivious to what is going on and as a result, they do not care about the difficulties faced by others.
The second verse of the song is a call to action, asking people to stop pretending to be cool or to play the fool. The lines "Please feel free to be too cool, as we will not be shaken / Please feel free to play the fool as things are undertaken" suggest that despite the challenges, people will not back down or be discouraged.
In conclusion, the song's lyrics encourage people to be more aware of the struggles of others and to be more empathetic. The song's instrumentals support the lyrics with a hard rock and industrial sound that reflects the urgency and anger in the lyrics themselves.
