Now, there's a list of catalysts that hold the heart at bay
They grip the mind and sap the soul and feed on your dismay

And I never understood why you can't see the world this way
The lines are drawn at the break of dawn there's nothing to dismay

It's no, no, no security
No, no no security
No, no no security
Nothing to dismay

The dissonance runs deep in me resort to weak applause
Associate and denigrate the root without a cause
And just because the overwhelming odds are stacked away
What good is should if at most I would? But nothing to dismay

It's no, no, no security
No, no no security
No, no no security
Nothing to dismay

Well, it's just a solo journey
Bewildered and astray
But pay no mind to what you find
There's nothing to dismay

No, no, no, no, no, no, nothing to dismay
No, no, no security
nothing to dismay

It's propably one of the most phylosofic BR song in sense of just the idea itself. I'd just liked it after the first listening. It's the theme I've been expecting for a long time. A peculiar answer for all the raised problems in previous albums regarding phylosophy and leading to relevant questions. BR songs are usually only raise the problem but in this particular song there is an attempt to give an answer although it appears to be smooth, not unambiguous.

To me this is the most punk answer to the eternal question how to live in this unknown, so it sounds something like "don't fear whatever happens and fuck everything".
