Not My Path
Synthetic Delusion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is not my path

No I cannot follow this way

This is not my path

No I cannot follow this way
I'm still defying those words you hold over my head, until I'm done until I'm dead

I resist it I insist it Ill never stop to listen, this wasn't meant for me and if it was

Ill never give in,

Or surrender who I am

And who I always will be

Dissent and rise

Concentrate

Refuse acception

Dissipate

All of the pain

Stand my ground

Prove it all

Leave no regrets (With no regrets)

The path that seen was not my destiny

I will smash down the road and build it my own way

I will make, face, and destroy my own consequences

I will grow and decide and I will not suffer

Suffer, Now till the end I will not

Suffer, Without sacrifice I wont

Suffer, Now till the end I will not

Suffer, Without sacrifice I wont

Ill control my future, embracing the hate not giving myself away, I rid myself of oppression, with the highest form of dedication

So when I fall

I try again

Strive until

I Overcome

Focus on

My vision

Discipline

Now till the end

(Now till the end)

The path that seen was not my destiny

I will smash down the road and build it my own way

I will make, face, and destroy my own consequences

I will grow and decide and I will not suffer

Suffer, Now till the end I will not

Suffer, Without sacrifice I wont

Suffer, Now till the end I will not

Suffer, Without sacrifice I wont

No matter what these trials put me through, or how many oppose me, Ill believe the same believes, I will never be a victim and fall into the lies

Now till the end

Ill chose the path

Now till the end

Ill have control

Now till the end

Reject failure

Now till the end

I wont suffer

(I wont suffer)

The path that seen was not my destiny

I will smash down the road and build it my own way

I will make, face, and destroy my own consequences





I will grow and decide and I will not suffer

Ive been looking for this band for the past 20 years. Waste of skin has lived in my mind for so long! Holy fuck i found it and it still kicks so much ass!!!

@Nuggiescrispy

These guys were up and coming in my high school. Saw them at garage shows and keggers

@locutus2962

I use to tech for these guys. Good friends, and i had a blast touring with them. They had an AR from Roadrunner records come to a show of theirs in Hollywood. I couldn't believe they got turned down. They were incredibly talented. And they introduced me to the band I ended up playing with for years.

@elbowsoutracing6059

Funny, we had an AR rep w roadrunner. We knew the guitarist from this band , he filled in with Motograter at the whiskey. Motograter singer, is now w five finger. Small world 🤘
