CKL - Open Up Your Eyes [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Hook
Open up - open up your eyes
Become aware how juveniles are dehumanized
No one’s concerned - no one cares
No one hears their cries
One mistake, one poor decision when we take their lives

Verse
Let me vent and express my point of view to the extent
Exposing the corruption within the law and how it hits
The youth in our societies that’s struggling for help
Being sentenced to the penitentiary for being involved with death
Fed talks and how to commit crimes it don’t stop
The media feeds these images into their mind until it locks
Instead of being instrumental they’ll rather throw away the key
Knowing the maturity of their brain is not even fully complete
Stereotype to paint us as super predators to feed the hype
Labeling us to justify the reasons to give us life
The social implication is they’re saving the streets
From adolescence manifesting the characteristics of beast
Now picture this!

Hook

Picture the system designed to paralyze a whole culture
Awareness must be raised for restorative justice and exposure
There’s no closure when juvenile dehumanization is ignored
There’s violence in the justice system be assured
Must explore different methods for the pubic to be secured
Life sentence for a juvenile adolescent another baby is abort
Empathy and understanding lost in revenge and hatred
Politics and the economy multiply the problems we’re faced with
In agreement with justice but justice can be amended
Freedom and liberty can be extended plus crime can be prevented
Open your eyes and reconcile these irreconcilable differences
No need for condemnation and indeterminate life sentences
Now picture that!

Hook

So many issues go unnoticed there’s nobody concerned
Many youths are left hopeless facing over excessive prison terms
Why is this the final conclusion why unforgiving was confirmed
It’s equivalent to sentencing our youth to eternal hell to burn
There’s no understanding there’s no one using discretion
Blind to political investment in agreement with child neglection
Moral and values isn’t installed now many characters are flawed
Why do we ignorantly pass laws while many investors applaud
Tell me what’s the reason why our communities won’t get involved
A lack of unity and togetherness another problem goes unsolved
It’s time for a revolution a human rights movement
To raise adolescent awareness objective complete improvement
Break these chains!
