Top Songs By Amalia & The Architects
Lyrics
You regret your past self
or lack thereof of one
even though you did
what it took to survive
I'm privileged and able
to see things from afar
as I wander through a decade
when we still believe in art
There was a greater purpose
for all the make-belief and lies
for all the things we did
in those days to survive
I'm writing for your past self
for the few who read these lines
trying to convince you
to keep your grasp on life
The religious they were shocked
God is given a last chance
And they keep it on their pillow
as a gun or love's first dance
There was a hidden basement
beneath the house of cards
and we took there to refuge
in order to survive
The intellectuals on Plato
were appointed to the task
But what happens when the questions
proved wrong to even ask
We're keeping all the big words
in front of feeble minds
That's all it takes to trigger
their algorithmic finds
There was a lovely lady
we forced her hands to drive
and hid behind a map
our urge to survive
We're soaking up the liver
we're pestering the lungs
To find a steady moment
when all of life is sung
The return takes its place
the switch of light gets flicked
shoes and clothes come off
Yet the thought is all but kicked
The days were getting slow
the world was wrong and fast
and we threw out of the window the desire
to survive
I've counted all the lives
and I know that they are five
But who dictates the prisons
you should use
in order to survive
