Tay600 Lyrics

In city shoes,
Walking around in urban shoes

Of clueless blues,
Feeling lost and unaware of what's happening

Pays the views,
Giving attention to what's being shown/represented

And no-mans news.
Ignoring important news that doesn't affect them directly

Blades will fade from blood to sport,
Violence will become normalized and not taken seriously

The heroin's cut these fuses short,
Drug use has damaged people's lives and led to impulsive behavior

Smokers rode a colonial pig,
A symbol of self-destructive behavior

Drink and frame this pain i think.
Using alcohol to cope with emotional pain

I'm melting silver poles my dear,
Feeling overwhelmed and weakened by the challenges in life

You bleed your wings and then disappear.
Feeling destroyed and isolated by one's own choices

The moving scenes and pilot lights,
The lights on a pyre for someone who died tragically

Smithereens have got 'em scaling heights.
People are reaching new levels of desperation and chaos

Modern times come talk me down,
Feeling overwhelmed and needing reassurance

And battle lines are drawn across this town.
There is conflict and tension in this city

Parisian boys without your names,
Young people who feel anonymous in society

Ghetto stones instead of chains,
Living in poverty and struggling to survive

Talk 'em down cause it's up in flames,
Trying to calm people down in a volatile situation

And nothing's changed.
Despite efforts, things remain the same

Riot like 1968 again.
Protesting aggressively and violently, like in the past

The days of rage yeah nothing's changed,
There is still unrest and anger in society

Well pretty flames.
Despite destruction, there is a strange beauty in chaos

In school I would just bite my tongue,
Feeling silenced and unable to express oneself in the past

And now your words they strike me down.
Words hurt and can be damaging

The flags are false and they contradict,
Symbols of patriotism are meaningless and hypocritical

They point and click which wounds to lick,
The media focuses on sensational news and ignores important issues

On avenues this christian breeze,
A hypocritical and superficial religious culture

Turns it's heart to more needles please.
Addiction and drug use are prevalent

Our eyes roll back and we beg for more,
People are addicted and craving more stimulation

It frays this skin and then underscore.
Addiction wears people down and makes them vulnerable

The case for war you spin and bleed,
Politicians push their agendas at the cost of human life

The sales you feel screensavers feed,
Consumer culture is aggressively marketed and addictive

The girls you breed the soaps that you write,
Mass media and entertainment perpetuate harmful stereotypes

The graceless charm of your gutter snipes.
The ugliness and vulgarity of society

The moving scenes and suburbanites,
The contrast between affluent suburbs and poverty-stricken areas

And smithereens got 'em scaling heights.
Despite chaos and destruction, people continue to reach for something more

English boys without your names,
Young people who feel anonymous in society

Ghetto stones instead of chains,
Living in poverty and struggling to survive

Hearts and minds and US Planes,
People are affected by politics and international conflict

Nothing's changed...
Despite efforts, things remain the same

Riot like the 1980's again,
Protesting aggressively and violently, like in the past

The days of rage yeah nothing's changed,
There is still unrest and anger in society

More pretty flames.
Despite destruction, there is a strange beauty in chaos
