The Faulty Lyrics

Suddenly, like a gust of wind, the machine changes our design
Our lives and society can change abruptly and quickly, just like how a gust of wind can change the design of something in a moment.

parallel to the offbeat drums that keep us all out of pace
We feel like we're not in sync with society, and that we don't quite belong or fit in.

uncertain and cold, like you've been for days
Our sense of self and direction can feel uncertain and uneasy, unmoored in a way that leaves us feeling cold and disconnected from others.

one can see how this mess all started
It's clear to anyone who looks that our problems and challenges have a root cause, something that we need to address in order to overcome them.

it only took one time.
Sometimes all it takes is one mistake, one bad decision, to set off a chain reaction that leads to bigger problems and mistakes down the road.

so i'll be riding home in tanks (wouldn't you say?) (2x)
We need to take drastic action to protect ourselves and our way of life, even if it means resorting to extreme measures like riding home in tanks.

bundled up like i was six years old
We need to protect our vulnerable and innocent selves, even if it feels like we're reliving a childhood sense of fear and uncertainty.

gun in one hand, gin in the other, 'i swear we're not fucking around'
We need to be prepared with both our strength and our wits, so that we can make it clear that we mean business and are not to be trifled with.

wait and see how high flags fly when everyone is tied
We need to be patient and wait for the right moment to strike, so that we can all rise up together and make a difference as a united front.

to their offices, blindfolded, gagged, begging
The system can sometimes make us feel trapped and powerless, like we're stuck in our offices with no way out and no voice to protest or resist.

'i've never said a word', we've become what we hate
We cannot remain silent and complacent if we want to make a change, because we risk becoming part of the system that we oppose and despise.

what do we even stand for anymore, growing in numbers
We need to re-evaluate our values and beliefs, and consider what we truly stand for and what we want to achieve, even as our movement grows and becomes more powerful.

she's breaking at the seams, it only takes one time.
The system is fragile and can break down easily, but we need to be careful and strategic in our actions, because one mistake can have dire consequences.

so i'll be riding home in tanks (wouldn't you say?)
We need to remain determined and resolute in our fight, even as the odds stack against us and the situation grows more dire.

bundled up like i was six years deep
We need to remember our past experiences and how they shaped us, so that we can draw strength and resilience from them in the present.

so i'll be seeing you in time... the price we pay
We need to stay hopeful and positive, because although there will be sacrifices and costs along the way, we will eventually reach our goal and see each other again.

i'm riding home in tanks before it's over and we lose everything...
We need to act now, before it's too late, and before we lose everything that matters to us - our freedom, our dignity, our way of life.
