“Wasteland” by So Soaked is about pollution, toxic waste, and other destruction being done to the world. The stream of consciousness lyrics reflects a society consumed by consumption and devastation for instant gratification and self-purpose. Everyone has to selfishly make it in this world. We need to avoid the evil roads to make it out of this wasteland.
lyrics
Losing traditions
In order to move to towards future
Resist the risk to exist
And emphasize the predicate
Concern for the conscious
Will interfere, just let ‘em
As it will always depend on
Some kind of vintage vengeance
To slay and slew the words they sent
An avenue to get out
Unethical truths
Immoral laws
For free will
We have a choice
And we all gotta go some time
To make room for the new crop
Young people wake the fuck up
The world’s moving around you
AND I'LL HOLD MY DISGUISE
SUNSET TO SUNRISE
And everyone was so inviting
As the electricity played
Behind their heads
Wages of fear and death
Drift to the depths
In the night on earth
Stories of mysteries
Murmur swiftly
To the naked prey
"There’s fire on the plains, hey!"
Watch two of us
As we fall headed to the gallows
Of something stranger
Than paradise
We can’t see light now
Caught in contempt
Through the sawdust and tinsel
The tin drums play out
The story of floating missiles
With bottles of rum
We can’t miss ‘em
The clash of anticipating
Conversations happens on
Gloss coated wood
A three tier mirage
A percussion to dodge
Boxed out windows
And neons glow
Bowed glass
From the chains below
No, don’t expect us to be excited
With a dark and evil road
AND I'LL HOLD MY DISGUISE
SUNSET TO SUNRISE
There are two types of drinkers
Those who socially drink
And those who do it for effect
Or that's just what they think
Fucking wasted
Rubbing two pennies together
In their mind
It seems clever
Wasted rubbing two pennies together
That’s what they’re worth
Those dollar signs are underlined
On their cardboard signs
Those dollar signs are underlined
On their cardboard signs
End of the day wasteland
End of the day wasteland
End of the day wasteland
End of the day wasteland
