Satisfaction Lyrics by Paradox & Imperial

Grayscale

2017

Hook:
We want, we want that satisfaction
Going through life hoping something magic happens
But it doesn’t work out quite like we had imagined
So when the next high arrives, we’re like, “Yeah, that’s what’s lacking.”
We want, we want that satisfaction
Going through life hoping something magic happens
But it doesn’t work out quite like we had imagined
So when the next high arrives, we’re like, “Yeah, that’s what’s lacking.”
Verse 1:
All is vanity and a chase after wind
Like trying to catch the sky in a butterfly net
It’s time for humanity to face facts again
By realizing we’re entwined in another fine mess
When you’re sitting in the dark, that little whisper from your heart
Says, “Listen, there’s been something missing since the start.”
I’ve seen it rip these kids apart, it makes no difference if they’re smart
Cuz we can admit we’ve got the scars if we all just lift our guards
Painting this pervading state of homesickness as bizarre
And dismiss our restless fate like it was written in the stars
Like a sense of contentment simply isn’t in the cards
Sentenced to an existence where addictions are the prison bars
Incarcerated, but it’s hard to face it
When living large is the target at which the marksmen are aiming
While marketing is claiming there’s no harm in relations
That debase women, cuz anyone can discard and replace them
Like misogyny’s not a thing to be appalled at
And rap that talks the opposite’s automatically called wack
What we’re told’s all that seems over-inflated, falls flat
If media’s the big tree, pick me to be the small axe
Hook:
We want, we want that satisfaction
Going through life hoping something magic happens
But it doesn’t work out quite like we had imagined
So when the next high arrives, we’re like, “Yeah, that’s what’s lacking.”
We want, we want that satisfaction
Going through life hoping something magic happens
But it doesn’t work out quite like we had imagined
So when the next high arrives, we’re like, “Yeah, that’s what’s lacking.”
Verse 2:
People pick their poisons, elixirs that destroy them
Like a lil’ bit of denial mixed with a pinch of avoidance
What they enjoy intensified by what they’re annoyed with
Blinded to the distortions that hide behind their choices
Convinced what’s important's to horde and always want more
We ostracize the poor who can’t afford to get on board
While prophets die, cuz the Lord’s glory’s what we long for
We oftentimes live like our performance’ll have an encore
But guess what? We’ve struck the wrong chords
Bugs whose demise resides in the buzzing lights we’re drawn toward
Zap. So come back to the true source
Of energy, innocence, and identity before you lose yours
Eventually any dependency’ll seem too short
And even the most intense of adventures’ll leave you lukewarm
I can pack the sentiment gentle, like I’m soothing a newborn
But if I have to, then I’ll gladly move you by brute force
Hook:
We want, we want that satisfaction
Going through life hoping something magic happens
But it doesn’t work out quite like we had imagined
So when the next high arrives, we’re like, “Yeah, that’s what’s lacking.”
We want, we want that satisfaction
Going through life hoping something magic happens
But it doesn’t work out quite like we had imagined
So when the next high arrives, we’re like, “Yeah, that’s what’s lacking.”
