Lyrics
Do Not Look Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Strive, strive. surmount the obstacles
Become the essence of your goals, hereditary dream
Pray that you may attain that destiny
Fall into the coveted line, where life is but a theme of pretense in lustrous guise
Claims and values charts of means and status
Plaques to show your strife, do your neighbour clones approve?
Picture perfect illustration, imitation of life, where the path is evened out
All obstructions removed
Great viable citizen
Are you happy now?
Then praise your god and bow
Shimmering surface
The gleam of blinding lies
Become the product
The thing you so desire
To what length would you go to reach your goals?
What mantra will you use to justify your means?
Who will you betray to secure your dream?
What sins will you commit to avoid your sins be seen?
Do not look down
Do not look down
Or the abysmal beast of nonconformity might stare some unpleasant truth
Into your desensitized mind
Shimmering surface
The gleam of blinding lies
Become the product
The thing you so desire
