World, When Did You Lose Your Mind?
"World, When Did You Lose Your Mind?" is a powerful and evocative song inspired by Olena Rassuzhdai's poetry. The lyrics delve into the moral and emotional turmoil of a world consumed by chaos and destruction, contrasting the forces of creation and devastation.
Some keep on building, forging a path toward light,
While others tear down, breeding chaos and fright.
Some see the harmony in life’s simplest art,
Others delight in ruins that tear souls apart.
Those who create guard warmth in quiet grace,
Those who destroy bring only sorrow’s embrace.
And yet one question returns endlessly:
Why bow to evil, why cling to slavery?
World, when did you lose your mind,
Grown used to shackles you can’t leave behind?
Why, forsaking light and love that set souls free,
Do you choose an endless captivity?
Psychopaths advance, triumphant and proud,
As people march blindfolded, lost in the crowd.
Their ruins become symbols, their words are law,
Yet many still bow, not seeing the flaw.
They boast of a power that sets worlds ablaze,
And crowds sing their praise, ignoring the haze.
Those who can build stand hidden away,
Ensnared by the fear that keeps them at bay.
Yes, world, you’ve gone insane,
Accepting chains with no room to complain!
Know that instead of light and love once your goal,
You choose prison forever to govern your soul!
They never learned to embrace the world’s heart,
Only hungered to wreck every place from the start.
Their words, like a venom, seep into the mind,
Spreading a cold, endless void left behind.
Creators withdrew as the shadows grew tall,
While the ravagers rose to the heights of their call.
World, you went mad when you wouldn’t restrain
Those who brought others unmerciful pain.
Why did you lose your mind,
So used to chains you yourself have designed?
When light and love might have helped you to see,
You chose to exist in eternal captivity.
You let these shadows grow strong in your sight,
Forgetting the good that once blossomed so bright.
Step by step, you let them burn all you could be,
Everything worth loving you gave up for free.
They devour all that shines with warm grace,
Their spirits hold only cold darkness in place.
Their deeds spark explosions, their world is pure night,
Wherever they rule, war rages outright.
Those who still build remain trapped in the dark,
Their truth overrun by deception so stark.
All efforts seem futile—what hope can remain,
When visions are twisted and reason is slain?
World, arise now—open wide your eyes,
Only you can conquer these dark, endless skies.
Recall how to blossom, reclaim your own light,
And build bridges of joy with love shining bright!
