[Lyrics for Demon Hunter – No Reason To Exist]
Lost
When the storm hits, you will leave this
Awake
Time will pass through, and break you
Broken, or so you say
Nobody bought that fable anyway
So calloused, and so nave
To wear a heart of fiction on your sleeve
Bury every sign of life in filth and hollow trend
And push against progression on the path of logics end
Like tears flowing upward
Lost, an aimless soul
When the storm hits, you will leave this
Awake to wasted days
Time will pass through, and break you
This wreckage youll never be
If you were raised in Hell youd own the sea
Dont tell me its not your choice
You sold a blessed future for some noise
Bury every sign of life in filth and hollow trend
And push against progression on the path of logics end
Like tears flowing upward
With every waking second you front, another real life loses ground
Ten thousand arms outstretched and you have the nerve to strike them all
No reason to coexist?
No reason to exist
Behind the Song:
“This song is about irresponsible living, specifically amongst young people. Ive noticed a trend, particularly up here in the Northwest, of people in their late teens and 20s that have rebelled against the lifestyles of their parents and have adopted a life of street living and poor work ethic. To someone that doesnt know any better, youd think by looking at these kids that theyve fell on hard times and that they mustve been abandoned at some point. What I have come to understand is that they have willingly abandoned what they had, in exchange for a trendy lifestyle of recklessness. To pretend that your life is in dire straits is an insult to people that actually have fell on hard times. I cannot find fault in someone who chooses to live a simple life devoid of monetary focus, however, I think in most of these cases, these kids are wasting their lives by merely floating through, contributing nothing to society. Theyve become so disgusted with successful living that theyve made a complete 180 into very careless territory. They are able bodied, but take pride in doing nothing. Im not implying that successful living is Christian living at all. I am however saying that to take for granted what God has blessed you with is foolish. To take a vow of poverty in the name of the Lord can be commendable, but the motives behind this scene Im speaking of are strictly based on fad.” – Demon Hunter
And you and the Levites and the aliens among you shall rejoice in all the good things the Lord your God has given to you and your household. -Deuteronomy 26: 11
