Everyone is entitled to their opinion but where does today’s perceived entitlement to force those opinions on other’s come from? Even more sinister is the perceived entitlement to judge others and proclaim those judgements in a public forum. We live in an internet world where everyone
can share what’s on their mind; often these views are enlightening, entertaining and good natured.
However, when keyboard warriors overstep boundaries it is sometimes difficult not to react but engaging with these people usually only fuels the fire. Why do we focus on the one critical comment among all the positive ones? This song is a response to all the negativity, blaming and shaming. The sun will rise in the morning and the world keeps turning.
lyrics
So tired of negative pressure
Dragging
Me down
Breathing this toxic atmosphere
This sick
Guilt trip
I'm getting pushed right to the edge now
Your rules
J'accuse
Feels like a poison in my soul
As the world starts falling
Riding the avalanche
You can’t outrun
The starting gun
You criticise me with your eyes
The same
Blame game
Don't try to bury me alive
I'm out
No doubt
Malice will fuel a bitter fire
Watch me
You'll see
Won’t let you suffocate my dreams
As the world starts burning
Riding the avalanche
Don’t hesitate
It’s not too late
So look beyond
To solid ground
Hold your nerve
As the world keeps turning
Riding the avalanche
Riding the avalanche
Ride the avalanche
Absolutely hooked on this album from first listen. How rare is that with prog!??? Excellent songwriting and musicianship. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the collection. Thomas Lock
In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper
