While The World Awaits
Suburban Tribe Lyrics

You say it's meaningless and that I fly too low
You believe that what I'm doing is pointless or insignificant and that I'm not reaching my full potential.

It's a waste of time and I have to let it go
You think that what I'm doing is not worth the effort and that I should stop trying.

All the worn out memories spiced with fear
I have painful memories that are mixed with fear and anxiety.

Panic hits as the bruises won't disappear
I feel anxious and afraid as the emotional wounds I've suffered don't seem to heal.

The feeling's too strong
The emotions I'm experiencing are very intense and overwhelming.

While the world awaits
As the world and other people wait for something to happen or change.

The prophets speak in rhyme
People who claim to have prophetic or visionary insights express themselves in poetic or metaphorical language.

While the fallen ones in turmoil praise their kind
People who have failed or are struggling in life support and encourage each other.

With an ounce of hope and a bowl of dust
Despite the bleakness of the situation, there's still a small amount of optimism or possibility.

Dreams are crushed down while the world awaits
As people wait for something to happen, their hopes and aspirations are being destroyed.

Now that the shrieking noise has turned into silence
After a period of chaos and confusion, everything is now quiet and still.

And all this push and pull
All the conflicts and struggles that have been going on.

It makes no difference
All these efforts and struggles don't seem to have any effect or impact on the situation.

Try live the vicious lie caressed by fear
People are encouraged to believe in a cruel and harmful falsehood that is sustained by fear.

We are fighting this in all its madness
We are trying to resist and oppose this situation, no matter how insane or irrational it may seem.

With these splintered fragments all is senseless
Everything seems fragmented and disconnected, and nothing makes sense.

Numb receptive minds caressed by fear
People are emotionally numb and passive, and are susceptible to being controlled by fear.

While the world awaits
As the world and other people wait for something to happen or change.
