about

Written in the wake of George Floyd's terrible murder and the growing recognition of the Black Lives Matter movement. This song is a reminder that no matter how much progress we might have made there is so much further to go. Sitting on our hands and good intentions are not reliable actions to build trust, empathy and, (hopefully) one day, equality.

lyrics

-Paradigm-
We made it clear without saying a word
But we raised our voice so that yours can’t be heard
"We will keep the wool over your eyes!"
It’s time we moved into a new paradigm

Dear God, just look at how far we have come
We’re so advanced but we’re so fucking numb
This time it counts which side that you’re on
Our hands aren’t clean
They are covered in blood

I say it’s time that we examine our fears
Even if the truth might bring you to tears
"You have to believe our intentions were good..."
No, no, no good intentions won’t be enough

Dear God, just look at how far we have come
We’re so advanced but we’re so fucking numb
This time it counts which side that you’re on
Our hands aren’t clean
They are covered in blood
