Modern Reflective - Lady Paradox, Gadget, Anna Stott

Look around

How do we not see our way?

How, how do we not see our way?

We’re all searching for something big to believe in

A deep rooted faith that gives meaning to breathing

A beautiful face, a dream of succeeding

Some live in hate or keep on deceiving

Those we call great or would seem to believe in

Heroes die for the cheapest of reasons

How do we define what we mean by achievement?

Is it fame?

Is it beating our demons?

We are seeking our freedom

Reach far, speak for a reason

Beneath stars, I sleep through the evening

Dreams are released every season

My mind’s lost, I forgot what is pleasing

The TV’s off, I don’t know what I’m needing

Modern socks are a robot for cleaning

Call me soft but it’s deeper I’m seeking

Chorus (Anna Stott):

Look around

How do we not see our way?

How, how do we not see our way?

We sit back, relax, detached to the channels

Digitally tuned and sociable mammal

So far removed from wars and battles

Soothed by the news, brought from an angle

Spoon-fed as truth, course it’s not sampled

The problem is youth, the laws they dismantle

Not those in suits who are forming a scandal

I feel hopeless like morning is cancelled

The system enclosed us, caught on our ankles

Holding us down, all of us scramble

Ask questions — you’re more than a handful

Keep your voice inside, be thankful

Smile wide and lie like the banks do

out through life as they brand you

And accept the price that they hand you

Or just find something nice you can to

Chorus (Anna Stott):

Look around

How do we not see our way?

How, how do we not see our way?

Take a look at where you are

It’s the modern reflective

Take a look at where you are

It’s the modern reflective
