Apathy And Arrogance

from Giving Up The Dream by Ian Peacock

/

about

I've found myself swinging between these two contrasting attitudes over the years; over confident in my own abilities and personality, or apathetic and uncaring towards anything. Neither is very appealing.

In his famous 'sermon on the mount', Jesus said it would be the meek/humble who would inherit the earth, not those who would take it by force. Someone once said it well: 'humility is not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less'.

lyrics

Save me from apathy
Of burning bridges to community
When they all fall down I'll be standing all alone

Save me from arrogance
To stroke my ego every circumstance
When i look around I'll be standing on my own

You said the humble would rule the world....

You want to feel it, seal it, steal it
If that's the deal, well keep it, keep it
You won't believe it, until you see it
You'll never see it until you believe it

Please save me from myself, from sitting lonely on a wonky shelf
When the pressure comes I'll be broken on the floor

You said the humble would rule the world....

You want to feel it, seal it, steal it
If that's the deal, well keep it, keep it
You won't believe it, until you see it
You'll never see it until you believe it

So...fall in line, do or die
Yours or mine, I'm yours this time
Oh....woe is me, too blind to see
Reality...I'll never be...
