Obsolete Lyrics

Obsolete

For a thousand days I watched the vultures circle overhead
And I counted the ways the world would be blessed when I finally reached my end
And I felt the weight of the world pushing me into the soil below
And I felt the desert sun above, watch as I drink water from a stone
But I'm not ready to die alone

So can you wake me from my sleep
And show me now that this is just a dream?
'Cause I'm a whisper, once a scream
And I'm afraid of what's in store for me
Becoming obsolete

Become obsolete
Become obsolete

Another frozen frame, another glitch inside my consciousness
So I pick my poison and just choke it down until I start to spin
And while the world just slowly turns, I fade like fog into the sea
While the mighty galleon burns around me, I slowly start to sink

Maybe I'm not ready to be set free
Maybe these shackles are what I need
If you find the answers, come rescue me
But I can't hold my breath

So can you wake me from my sleep
And show me now that this is just a dream?
'Cause I'm a whisper, once a scream
And I'm afraid of what's in store for me
Becoming obsolete

(Becoming obsolete)

So can you wake me from my sleep
And show me now that this is just a dream?
'Cause I'm a whisper, once a scream
And I'm afraid of what's in store for me
Becoming obsolete

Become obsolete
Become obsolete
Become obsolete
Become obsolete

What is the Meaning of Obsolete?

Delving into the depths of existential dread, this song explores the fear of becoming irrelevant or 'obsolete.' The lyrics portray a person grappling with feelings of insignificance and fearing their own mortality. The repeated plea to be awakened from sleep suggests a desire to escape from these overwhelming thoughts and return to normalcy. The phrase "I'm a whisper, once a scream" could imply that the protagonist feels their voice or impact has diminished over time. Despite these fears, there's also an undercurrent of resistance against this perceived obsolescence, hinting at the human spirit's resilience in face of despair.
