about
One of the first songs Jojo ever composed, originally made in 2008-2009. A great example of the original Aurora sound, which represents Jojo as she was before the events that make up the story and concept of this album. It once had a different set of lyrics, but they were changed after several years because Jojo wasn't satisfied with its message. After this point, the change that would come over Jojo clearly shifted her lyrical and musical direction to a heavier sound.
lyrics
Lyrics:
There has been a complication with our world,
The future has been lost!
Life is shortened, time is running out,
Yet half of you still doubt the cost.
Forest are replaced with profit,
Oceans overflow, we're near the end!
Inconsideration for young generations has returned again...
(Piano Break)
How absurd to carry on this path,
Now half a century has gone!
(There has been a complication!)
Thankful for the works of past musicians,
And through us they will live on...
(There has been a complication)
Music to confide resistance,
Time is now to save our mother Earth!
Capitalism parasitically decaying all of worth,
Our worth...
(Bridge)
And even though I sing heroically today,
I know that billions of hungry live astray,
But as we take against the evils of our day,
We will have more than thoughts and prayers to give away.
(Guitar Solo)
Don't believe the words they're antagonizing,
I never will comply!
With the way of living that was put forth,
For all people to abide, no...
Silently, to look without the eyes,
The universe can be your guide!
(There has been a complication!)
Searching for an answer,
Knowing that instinct already has decided...
(There has been a complication...)
