DEVOLUTION Song Lyrics

DEVOLUTION by Starset

We’ve been burying the pages
We’ve been trying to erase this
Built a wall between the truth and us
And it’s not enough

We’ve burned through all the witches
From the paupers to the righteous
In a bubble that will never bust
And it’s not enough

Left blind in the darkness
But that’s fine ’cause you like it

Sheep becoming wolves and you eat from the paw
So open up and say

Oh whoa oh whoa oh
Let’s all spoon-feed on our own delusions
Oh whoa oh whoa oh
All I see is a fake revolution
Oh whoa oh whoa oh
The same old things with the same solutions
Oh whoa oh whoa oh
It’s anarchy, it’s de-evolution

It’s de-evolution

There’s no wood for the bridges
When the land is too divided
We’ve been fighting off the undertow
Now we fall below

So open up and take your medicine and say

Oh whoa oh whoa oh
Let’s all spoon-feed on our own delusions
Oh whoa oh whoa oh
All I see is a fake revolution
Oh whoa oh whoa oh
The same old things with the same solutions
Oh whoa oh whoa oh
It’s anarchy, it’s de-evolution

De-evolution

“One general law, leading to the advancement of all organic beings, is multiply. Therein, let the strongest live, and the weakest die. Eventually, a species can become complacent. At that point, a devolution can occur. A spiral downwards, signaling an end for that life form.”

You still eat straight from the paw

You still eat straight from the paw

Convoluted lies
It’s the end that you prophesize
And it’s all pretend
From a bargain Darwin and you’re inside the plan
While the Lord Of Flies is opening its maw
And the wolves are taking out their claws

You still eat straight from the paw
You still eat straight from the paw
You still eat straight from the paw

So open up, open up, open up and say

Oh whoa oh whoa oh
Let’s all spoon-feed on our own delusions
Oh whoa oh whoa oh
All I see is a fake revolution
Oh whoa oh whoa oh
The same old things with the same solutions
Oh whoa oh whoa oh
It’s anarchy, it’s de-evolution
It’s de-evolution
