Analysis of Screwed



This planet done got lost

We are all tripping

I'm turning coats and switching standards

This life isn't for me because it's over anyway

I lost the battle, and the war is over

It's too late and we screwed ourselves out of paradise with our own selfish desire to kill each other and fight

There's no point in fighting for life anymore

We chose death

This is the end. This world is ending.

I tried to save us from ourselves.

I had optimism that others would join the call

The ego won though and ended up destroying all of us

There's no reason to keep fighting.

Where is God in all of this?

And why am I still alive?

I just want to go home. It all turned away from itself

We had hope at a point

But that point is past hope now

All hope is lost, it's just a matter of time before it's time to check out

They're laughing at us now, they think this is a joke

We had a serious mission, and it was sabotaged because it could be

Why does a dog lick it's own ass? Because it can

Why does a human race destroy it's own world?

Why not? It's more fun to destroy in the name of the devil and ego than to conquer and build up in the name of the Lord

It satisfies our flesh to destroy, and that's exactly what we've done

And it's too late to redeem any of this

It's far too late

There is too little optimism, too little love

There is not enough new energy, only old destructive habits

This is a lonely, dead planet, which I have learned to hate

Her people are against her

They're against those attempting to spiritualize and make the world new

They wish to destroy that which could save them

I'm a lonely traveler now, wandering sideways across the sea

My mission is over, my purpose gone

It was washed away with the sand by the wind and water

The ship went on without me

I wanna go home
