Oversight - A Time For Lyrics

They remember a time,
a time where they were well and strong.
I know that they don't wanna see
what we have become.
This land of superficial thoughts
has turned into a perfect cloud of scorn.
A time for ignorance,
a time for trying to understand oneself.
Daddy was a great man in his day…
" Go to school, get a job ".
And be what I couldn't be.
I won't be blind for you !
They want us to understand their world
showing us what they've built
(destroying everything).
And above all, carry my sadness
and my fuckin' pain.
I blame you for leaving me here alone
with something that is dead.
Still I'm the one who understands
what you don't want to see.
A time for easiness.
" This generation is the future ".
But what future when living with the defeat
of not having learnt is all we do.
They taught us to forget.
I tried and tried to find myself
in what they've done
just to get some answers.
They gave me a beautiful trophy
of appearances instead.
I shut my mouth, you can go to sleep.
" Wanna save you from the world "
" Wanna give you what I didn't have "
You can keep this time of opportunity for you.
' Cause you'll never want to see
' Cause you'll never want to be
what we expect from you.
The providential man is close
when everything is skin deep.
Without any direction we find ourselves
in the middles of nowhere.
This is the way life goes
when we give attention to majorities.
They remember a time,
a time where they were well and strong.
I know that they don't wanna see
what they have become.
Now I know what their words were all about.
