Entitlement

Story Behind The Song

Entitlement // Ov The World takes place in an imagined not so distant future. The world is slowly integrating itself with machines, losing touch with their humanity which has created a dystopian technocratic society. As the line between reality as we know it and virtual reality blurs, some begin to wake up and seek the divinity within themselves in nature, while others integrate themselves deeper, fully replacing their minds and bodies with machines. The two tracks join an individual who's, from the beginning of his ascension, waking up and seeing the world around what it truly is for the first time

Song Description

Please note: There is one expletive in the song, it is not incredibly prominent. A clean version is available if required. This high energy and aggressive song explores the undeserved entitlement of youth, especially when the need for values and hard work as a necessity for survival is slowly stripped away from society. The subject matter follows a young man and a woman, each with what can best be described as entitled personalities in their experiment in love, and it's eventual collapse much to the detriment of their friends and colleagues.

Lyrics

You said, you said, you said you want it all for nothing

If only you could pay with your entitlement
Use my clout like currency, just put the expense on my account
What my deal is I'm the realest, practice wellness, pay my rent
I'm not perfect bro, I got issues, but I got one thing to be said
I will find success because of the work that I put in
Then there's you, vitriol words fall from your lips
I lament you, want to forget you ever even existed,
If you were gone nobody would even miss you

How long have you defended all the mediocre things you've said?
How long will it take you to accept that you were wrong? (You were wrong)

I've seen your type before
You were done before you started
Take that holier than thou attitude and fucking shove it

Are you above me? You're above me?
Inverted: you're above me
As above so below
As the saying goes, I'll give you that
Step back, step back

How long have you defended all the mediocre things you've said?
How long will it take you to accept that you were wrong?

You two were meant for each other

Can you feel the venom running your veins?
Is that why you always act so vain?
Does it make you feel validated?
Staring at glass surfaces reflecting self-hate
When the lights go out and all you're left with is the stars above, you will remember my...
(Step back).

How long have you defended all the mediocre things you've said?
How long will it take to accept that you were wrong?
