"The Innocent" by Inmyths - A Poignant Plea for Change
In a world where conformity often prevails, Inmyths' "The Innocent" is a powerful reminder to break free from the mainstream view that endorses suffering and cruelty. This soul-stirring song challenges us to reevaluate our actions and their impact on those who cannot defend themselves.
The haunting lyrics ask us, "Do you ride along the long-accepted mainstream view that we have somehow to make them suffer and choose to be cruel?" It's a stark reminder that we don't have to harm or exploit others for our gain. We don't have to kill or consume them; we don't have to treat them as mere numbers.
Inmyths' emotional plea echoes, "I know you don't care, I know we don't think alike, I know you don't care, I know you won't change your mind." Yet, there is hope that the message will eventually resonate, as the song conveys, "I hope you will change your mind."
"The Innocent" starkly underscores that there is nothing beautiful in violence, and every time we pay someone to silence the innocent, we perpetuate a cycle of cruelty. This song is a call for empathy, a plea for change, and a reminder that the innocent deserve a life free from suffering.
Join Inmyths in their poignant call for compassion and change. Let "The Innocent" be a catalyst for a more humane world.
lyrics
Do you ride along
The long accepted
Mainstream view
That we have somehow
To make them suffer
And choose to be cruel?
You don't have to kill them, you know?
You don't have to eat them, you know?
They are just numbers to you
Meat still means torture
I know you don't care
I know we don't think alike
I know you don't care
I know you won't change your mind
There is nothing beautiful in violence
Every time you pay someone to silence
The innocent
The innocent
Do you fall in line
The old deceptive
Common view
That you have somehow
To take so many
Souls with you?
You don't have to shoot them, you know?
You don't have to cut them open, you know?
They are just numbers to you
Meat still means torture
I know you don't care
I know we don't think alike
I know you don't care
I hope you will change your mind
But there is nothing beautiful in violence
Every time you pay someone to silence
The innocent
The innocent
The innocent
The innocent
There is nothing beautiful in violence
