paroles de chanson The Antidote - Akira the Don , Jordan B. Peterson

One of the things that has blown me away in the last year
A large proportion of my audience has been young men
And I've spoken to them a lot about responsibility (Akira The Don)

People are starving for the antidote
And the antidote is truth and responsibility
Truth and responsibility
Truth and responsibility
People are starving for the antidote
And the antidote is truth and responsibility
That's the secret to a meaningful life, and without a meaningful life all you have is suffering

What's so odd about this is that of all the things that I've spoken about
'Cause I can see the audience and I can feel how the audience is reacting
'Cause I'm always paying attention
To all of you
I get some sense of how what I'm saying is landing
What happens is if I talk about responsibilities, everyone is silent
Silent and not moving, focusing, attentive
Pick up your responsibility, pick up the heaviest thing you can and carry it
And the room goes quiet, and everybody's eyes open and I think
It always makes me break up
And it's...

People are starving for the antidote
And the antidote is truth and responsibility
Truth and responsibility
Truth and responsibility
People are starving for the antidote
And the antidote is truth and responsibility
That's the secret to a meaningful life, and without a meaningful life all you have is suffering

I don't know why, I don't really understand it
There's something about it that's so crucial because
We've been feed this, unending diet of rights and freedoms, and there's something about that that's so pathologically wrong
People are starving for the antidote and the antidote is truth and responsibility
That's the secret to a meaningful life, and without a meaningful life all you have is suffering and nihilism, and despair, and all of that, a lot of contempt
And that's not good and it's necessary for men to stand up and take responsibility, and they all know that, and are starving for that message, and the message is more that, that's also a good thing to stand up and take responsibility, because you're cursed so much now
From when you're young with this notion that you're active engagement with the world is part of what is destroying and undermining the planet and adding to the tyranny of the social systems
It's like, "How about not so much of that, ey?"
It's too soul deadening, it's anti-human, right to the core
My sense instead is that if you were able to reveal the best of yourself to you and the world that you would be overwhelming force for good

People are starving for the antidote
And the antidote is truth and responsibility
Truth and responsibility
Truth and responsibility
People are starving for the antidote
And the antidote is truth and responsibility
That's the secret to a meaningful life, and without a meaningful life all you have is suffering
