One Year tells a story about the hard circumstances in 2020/2021 during the corona pandemic. It shows the desperate side of the youth and everybody suffering from the pandemic and criticizes the partly lacking logic of the measures and the inconsistency of everybody.
[Intro:]
Ayo, let´s talk about the unpleasant truth
[Verse 1:]
Almost one year went by
How was it like to live a normal life?
Can´t remember we had something like time?
Environment and my friends went so quite
Just me and the ceiling that is covering the sky
I´m sitting here looking at the same walls
Every time the same people
Since ten months the same dirt where is now your fucking Jesus?
Givе me my freedom back
A demon in my head and еverything is evil
And you pretend to be peaceful while depression becomes lethal
There is rusts on my shoulders I´m awake but I´m still sleeping
Am I the only one who´s talking to his demons?
Nobody wants to listen
They ain´t care at all
Cause everybody demands I should leave my youth behind
Want me to say "I´m fine"
Like it´s a normal thing even though it´s a lie
"Use your time cause the only thing that matters is tomorrow"
But how I wanna live if I lost my will long ago?
Bitch you don´t know how it feels to sit ten months in the same hole (Bitch!)
You become nineteen only once so pls let me use that role
It´s easy said cause you had your time and now you point your finger at us
Do you can´t remember?
You sat once in the same crowded school bus
If you read between the lines it was a diss regarding all your stuff
Some rules work some can be put back in your butts
I´m not against it but senseless rules ain´t enough
[Bridge 1:]
It took eight years to finish school
Eight years of learning and hard work
Eight years knowing someday it´ll all be gone
With an end that gives me good memories of all the stuff we had done
Probably the best time of your life
A huge character development since we met in class five
Imagine you don´t get a chance for celebrating and saying bye
Sorry adults it´s not a big deal
You also sat with eighteen one year in a room?
How did you feel?
[Verse 2:]
So, I was brave but where are my presents?
You told me I will get´em
If I follow your instructions
All I got was nothing
So explain me it´s function
When everything we sacrifice eventually solve a problem
And every step we go doesn´t help to fix that problem
Shut up!
I´m complaining at a high level I know
But I´m not the only one with an empty vessel
So I try the best I can do to help you with this pencil
Heaven might left you but I´m still here
When you go to sleep it´s ma voice that you will hear
Gonna speak the truth even if you cover your ears
Let me give you a backbone and a voice
For all the people all alone with no other choice
All the things you´ve been through
Against every people treating you like toys
All those motherfuckers that can´t live without to make any noise
Every single train of thought which has been spoiled
You are looking for the simple answer (that´s a weak character)
What a shame we were once a nation
And now there is nothing left of it
Who can you trust when it´s all about the money?
Funny you´ll probably never know
What´s the truth and what´s the lie?
Sometimes you just asking "why"
I don´t feel well I forgot how to cry
Maybe that´s the most harmless damage from all this trash
Your actions doesn´t make any sense
But instead it´s an annihilation of everything based on what you call self-defense
[Bridge 2:]
This was one year that will never come back
Trapped in a cage like a rat
One year mostly the color black
We are the reason for the plaque
One year wasted it´s a gap
What happens when the economy collapse?
One year and we are so fed up
Strangely enough, depression kills probably more than a half
Now discuss:
What you wanna get when there´s nothing left than dust?
[Outro:]
Well
I guess that´s our youth now
We have to pay for your shit after all
