Lyrics

Nothing To Dismay

Now, there's a list of catalysts that hold the heart at bay They grip the mind and sap the soul and feed on your dismay And I never understood why you can't see the world this way The lines are drawn at the break of dawn there's nothing to dismay It's no, no, no security No, no no security No, no no security Nothing to dismay The dissonance runs deep in me resort to weak applause Associate and denigrate the root without a cause And just because the overwhelming odds are stacked away What good is should if at most I would? But nothing to dismay It's no, no, no security No, no no security No, no no security Nothing to dismay Well, it's just a solo journey Bewildered and astray But pay no mind to what you find There's nothing to dismay No, no, no, no, no, no, nothing to dismay No, no, no security nothing to dismay

A peculiar answer for all the raised problems in previous albums regarding phylosophy and leading to relevant questions.

It's propably one of the most phylosofic BR song in sense of just the idea itself. I'd just liked it after the first listening. It's the theme I've been expecting for a long time. A peculiar answer for all the raised problems in previous albums regarding phylosophy and leading to relevant questions. BR songs are usually only raise the problem but in this particular song there is an attempt to give an answer although it appears to be smooth, not unambiguous.

To me this is the most punk answer to the eternal question how to live in this unknown, so it sounds something like "don't fear whatever happens and fuck everything".
