No Place Here
UADA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Flag fliers
Factual deniers
The war on instinct has begun
Scientific distortion
Philosophical contortion
Let it be abortion
That now grants us none
Self image obsession
Under the guise of oppression
They sanctimoniously leech
The revolutionaries
And over-reactionaries
Are the contemporaries
Who cannot practice what they preach
The false acusers
Privileged abusers
Bias users bathing in the bile they birth
The distribution
Of ones own confusion
Casts false illusions of what they deem of worth
Self reflective denial
Projecting outward trial
A plague so bile it shields the mortal mind
Hypnotizing the spineless
Capitalizing on blindness
Guided sightless is the humankind
Individualism versus collectivism
What is free will if the will cannot be free
With persuasion of denomination
Does what you believe bestow the right to deceive
Take what you've been handed
Endowed, inherited and granted
And through your fingers let it fall
With the alleviation of appreciation
Without double standards would there be any at all
I cannot see myself in this world being found, among those who claim down is up while others swear that up is down
There is no knowledge of the inhumanity once withstood, that could cease those from weaponizing their own victimhood
Where logic holds no validity over emotion, it is the taste of entitlement that detracts the relevance of their devotion,
And it darkens the sense of a greater understanding, when they've fallen deaf to all dialogue other than their own demandings
And they focus their faith into a chosen form of extremism
Like a swinging pendulum, the behest of a subconscious hypnotism
To insist immunity in the light of a false alliance, squealing foolishness to accompany the continued acts of their defiance
In the end they'll hear only what it is they want to hear, the weakening words of a failing campaign in which they choose to smear
The only consistency found can be within their own doubt, as they descend with communal ad hominem channeling casuistic clout
The most privileged protect their political pose, polarizing personal principle and propagating a platform for their phony prose
A fictitious brotherhood, a fraudulent kin, only projecting outward what it is that they so feel within
There is no reflection, restraint or redaction, to those who cannot take responsibility for the contamination of their own action
And they push their concepts of identity upon us all, out-thrusting nonsense so that they may have a sword on to fall
And we wait for the cowards to take their leave, for there is no trust, no virtue and definitely no honor among these thieves
Where every step is a contradiction to their last, a promenade on display, a forward march into their past
Through the intolerance of their desperate disposition shown, becoming disenfranchised by the infantile climates in which they've thrown
I cannot see myself among a flock controlled by fear, for I have no place there and they have no place here
Uada’s song “No Place Here” is a critique of the contemporary world we live in. The lyrics touch on issues such as false accusations, privileged abusers, collective blindness, self-reflective denial, and the thin line between individualism and collectivism. The song talks about the war on instinct, philosophical and scientific distortion, and mental regression. Uada sings about the distribution of confusion, which casts false illusions on what people deem of worth. The words evoke the loss of morality and empathy, and the dangerous weaponization of victimhood that people have fallen prey to.
The lyrics also describe how many people focus on their own demands and agendas and refuse to engage in productive and meaningful dialogue. The song’s message is a call to take responsibility and appreciate what we have been given. Uada is urging the listeners to let go of double standards and embrace a greater understanding of the issues that plague our societies. The song ends with a powerful message where the singer declares that they cannot see themselves in a world that is controlled by fear.

When people are unwilling to listen to other viewpoints, it hinders their ability to learn and grow
And they focus their faith into a chosen form of extremism
They become fanatically devoted to a certain belief system or ideology
Like a swinging pendulum, the behest of a subconscious hypnotism
Their beliefs and actions swing back and forth inconsistently, driven by subconscious influences
To insist immunity in the light of a false alliance, squealing foolishness to accompany the continued acts of their defiance
To claim immunity or invincibility due to a false sense of solidarity, while continuing to engage in foolish actions
In the end they'll hear only what it is they want to hear, the weakening words of a failing campaign in which they choose to smear
They will only listen to what aligns with their beliefs, even if it weakens their argument or position
The only consistency found can be within their own doubt, as they descend with communal ad hominem channeling casuistic clout
Their only consistent trait is their own insecurity and self-doubt, as they use personal attacks and deceptive tactics to sway others
The most privileged protect their political pose, polarizing personal principle and propagating a platform for their phony prose
Those with the most privilege use it to promote their own political agenda, often at the expense of others
A fictitious brotherhood, a fraudulent kin, only projecting outward what it is that they so feel within
The bond they claim to share is fake and insincere, and they only express what they themselves feel
There is no reflection, restraint or redaction, to those who cannot take responsibility for the contamination of their own action
Those who refuse to take responsibility for their own mistakes and misdeeds will not change or improve their behavior
And they push their concepts of identity upon us all, out-thrusting nonsense so that they may have a sword on to fall
They try to impose their own ideas of identity on everyone else, even if it doesn't make sense, so that they can justify their beliefs
And we wait for the cowards to take their leave, for there is no trust, no virtue and definitely no honor among these thieves
We hope that those who act cowardly and deceitfully will eventually leave, as there is no trust, honesty, or honor among them
Where every step is a contradiction to their last, a promenade on display, a forward march into their past
Their actions are constantly inconsistent and contradictory, and they continue to move forward without learning from their mistakes
Through the intolerance of their desperate disposition shown, becoming disenfranchised by the infantile climates in which they've thrown
Their intolerance and desperation pushes people away, and they become disconnected from the communities they've created
I cannot see myself among a flock controlled by fear, for I have no place there and they have no place here
I don't belong with those who are controlled by fear, and they don't belong with me
