Apex Zero - Obtain Bearing [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I wonder down my journey’s path
Living a split existence
My body goes through life’s routines
My Spirit views this world from distance
Each connected by my mind
Weighed down by heavy thoughts and grief
Formed from what my body’s lived
And all the pain my spirit’s seen
Upon this Earth where people kill and die for what they think is right
Walking through darkness
We fight over the beams of light
All flowing from the same source
We all harbour the same thoughts
Tryna' make something of life before it’s run it’s course
I fight to find myself and my direction
Search for God amidst deception
So I can voice my praise and questions
Through a clear and crisp connection
Filter a drink that’s pure from muddy water
Striving to build a world that’s safe to house my sons and my daughters
Rid of the need for guns and slaughter
But it feels like that is what we’ll need
To rid the Earth of those maintaining this world order
Where children starve and are subject to rape and torture
And chemical bombs ensure the unborn are spawned deformed

Baffles my mind to think how anyone can let this be
As long as those who do exist a change must start from you and me
Sprout and grow from our hands
Or our children’s lives will be the cost
We know what must be done
But we’re at a loss because we’re lost
Walking in wilderness
Searching for answers that we don’t find
It’s like having the skill to write the illest rhyme
But just can’t put down the first line…the first line

It’s ‘cos it’s so immense
The scale of the task
The fight’s been going on for centuries
And with every generation it restarts
We take stabs in the dark
At what is truth
At why we’re here
At what is justice
At what is freedom
At what we should trust or fear
There’s so many opinions
Never consensus
Just devastation
We lead each other blind in circles
To death or damnation

We live confused inside a world of warring opposites
Greed moulds the mind so few will see what real profit is
We stare into an endless void
So our fear is warranted
From oblivion, to birth, to decay until apocalypse
We live the same cycle as our universe just scaled down
I crack a broken smile
Tryna' pave over this stale frown
Welded to my brain
Contemplating what’s become us
Wonder how anyone makes it through this life without taking another’s
Questioning…
What is freedom?
What is truth?
What is existence??
What is justice
I wonder what death will produce?
Hoping my final sunset brings a neo-genesis
A union with my Creator and all that has ever lived
Hoping my errors lift long enough
To help me see this once I’m dispersed
But our images of Heaven’s what we need to try create on Earth
A world without the suffering
That’s caused by walking selfish steps
So that our unborn needn’t fear their births the way we fear our deaths

Sometimes it’s hard
Constantly running through these thoughts
And longing for the world I wanna see
Sometimes my mind aches
It can feel like my universe is tearing
But the battle goes on
I fight to obtain my bearing
