*// Palm mute for most part of the song. No Capo Intro: Verse 1: Old timer You’re preachin’ at me You seem to think That we are so damn different But we’re not. We’re both stuck somewhere between life and death. Verse 2: Old TIMER You won’t listen to me You’re still preachin’ to me You still seem to think That we are so damn different But we’re not. We’re both stuck somewhere between right and wrong. Mhm. Chorus: You don’t know the difference between social identity And the truth. You’ve been conditioned your whole existence But you just haven’t understood. Call me a sinner Call me a saint Take what you know of me Burn it all the same. I’m here to change. With each subtlety And I can’t blame nothing but the fear embedded deep inside of me By society. Verse 3: Old timer You’re preachin’ at me You seem to think That we are so damn different But we’re not. We’re both stuck somewhere between yes and no. Verse 4: Old TIMER You won’t listen to me And you’re still preachin’ at me And you still seem to think That we are so damn different But we’re not. We’re both stuck somewhere between up and down. Mhm. Chorus: You don’t know the difference between social identity And the truth. You’ve been conditioned your whole existence But you just haven’t understood. Call me a sinner Call me a saint Take what you know of me Burn it all the same. I’m here to change. With each subtlety And I can’t blame nothing but the fear embedded deep inside of me By society.

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque un dialogue entre deux générations, où l’un semble persuadé qu’il y a une grande différence entre eux, alors qu’en réalité, ils partagent des luttes similaires. L’ancien transmet un message, mais le chanteur souligne que malgré les apparences, ils se retrouvent tous deux piégés dans des dualités de la vie, comme la vie et la mort ou le bien et le mal. L’artiste exprime aussi un désir de changement, tout en critiquant les jugements basés sur des identités sociales figées, en soulignant que chacun porte en lui des peurs inculquées par la société. Derrière ces notions de péché et de sainteté, il y a un appel à la compréhension et à l’empathie.
