Their outstanding moments are shown in their more lengthy compositions. However, virtuosic musicianship was never absent.

Guilty
Shylock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Living today you may be strong and close your eyes to smile
So that I just can hate and just can try to make my ideals become true
Or you can sit at home (and) crying and praying for your only (fuckin′) god
To save this dirty world (2x)
Guilty, guilty, guilty of being buried under your own shit (2x)
I just look at your life and
I know exactly how I don't want mine
Guilty, guilty, guilty of being buried under your own shit (2x)
I just look at your life
And I know exactly how I don't want mine
Thank you for being so perfect, but admit, you're so
Guilty, guilty, guilty of being buried under your own shit (2x)
Guilty (5x) of being buried under your own shit
In Shylock's song "Guilty," the lyrics express a sense of frustration and anger towards the hypocrisy and self-righteousness of society. The opening lines suggest that people often try to ignore the problems in the world and pretend that everything is okay, while Shylock himself is committed to making his ideals become reality. The following lines suggest that some people may feel helpless and turn to prayer to make sense of the world, but Shylock sees this as a coping mechanism that ultimately falls short. The chorus repeats the word "guilty," emphasizing the idea that society is at fault and must acknowledge its own shortcomings. Shylock then describes how he looks at others' lives and sees exactly what he does not want for himself, thanking them for being "perfect" but calling on them to admit their guilt.
