Channel Detritus Lyrics
Don't fight it, look at it, another setback to slow you
Another day in vain, passing on, move along
Another dream is gone
You see that's how it goes in the game
We play, only to learn and train for our next mistake
To heal and break, growing strong in the wake
Seems like in no one I can rely
Don't you tell me I won't survive
Thousands tell you that you won't survive
I'll survive
I'll survive
I've become my fears...you want my surrender?
You'll find no surrender here
Just loss and gain, look around
Losses impossible
You've got to pay the cost impossible
To make the impossible possible
You can't just throw it away
Fading one day to the next
Tamed by a siren song, tempted to belong
To an ordinary life...ask yourself why
Don't you let them pave your way, don't you play their game
Don't you pray for rain, look inside
Don't you let them pave your way, don't you play their game
Don't you pray for rain, look inside
At what you'll find it's all in your mind
Regain an honor disappearing
It's a power, a birthright disappearing, it's a call to save what remains
Fools regret until they die
Forgive yourself
Fools regret until they die
Forgive yourself back to life
Forgive yourself back to life
Forgive yourself back to life
Another day in vain, passing on, move along
Another dream is gone
You see that's how it goes in the game
We play, only to learn and train for our next mistake
To heal and break, growing strong in the wake
Don't you tell me I won't survive
Thousands tell you that you won't survive
I'll survive
I'll survive
You'll find no surrender here
You've got to pay the cost impossible
To make the impossible possible
You can't just throw it away
Fading one day to the next
To an ordinary life...ask yourself why
Don't you pray for rain, look inside
Don't you pray for rain, look inside
It's a power, a birthright disappearing, it's a call to save what remains
Forgive yourself
Fools regret until they die
Forgive yourself back to life
Forgive yourself back to life
Forgive yourself back to life

i think this song about people trying to bring him down and he say that will never happen and his telling us not to fall for it eather to be strong too
bestt outro i iz eva 'erd mang ...anyways, this song seems to be about how you shouldn't just follow paths for your future or you will have a mediocre life. some of the main quotes that stand out here are:
''Tamed by a siren song, tempted to belong To an ordinary life...ask yourself why'' & ''Fools regret until they die Forgive yourself back to life'' this bit is about how life can make it seem like you should just live an ordinary life with no meaning, until your on your death bed regretting it.
''Regain an honor disappearing It's a power, a birthright disappearing, it's a call to save what remains'' everyone is born with the right to pursue whatever their dreams may be, no matter what they are or what people say
Just when i thought The Human Abstract couldn't get any deeper. "Fools regret until they die, Forgive yourself back to life" The most meaningful words i think i have ever heard. This song is about living your entire life without worrying about consequences or regretting anything. The only time to regret is on your death bed never waste your life over-analyzing your choices in life. Instead of regretting what you have done, forgive yourself and continue on with your life ("Forgive yourself back to life") Best band I've ever heard, hands down.
