Hinterlands Lyrics

Set me free from this alternate reality
Chained to an indoctrinated society
Taught to ignore, blind with both eyes
Colourful truths turned to grey, force-fed lies

But beyond the mist in the valleys within
The haven of your “self” lies deep in slumber
Where “to conform” is “to give in”
An inner scream of bliss and wonder

From the flood lands to the giving ground
Within the hinterlands veracity can be found
Hidden by fog and insecurities, you will see
The real truth lies within the details of the real me

I see my world with different eyes
I ascend from concrete jungles and speak
A language long forgotten, always denied
In a state long mistaken for being weak

From the flood lands to the giving ground
Distant hinterlands where veracity can be found
Unchained from my insecurities, I will see
The real truth, the real me

Set me free from reality
Release me from my chains
Let the teachers be taught
It will all be in vain
