[Lyric] WESTERN DREAM (Shoreline)

Are you seen as someone clean?
Embedded in your own parents’ beliefs
Seeking harmony
Inside a social order favoring
Utter obedience
And your family’s innocence

The Western Dream
Separates you and me
Nobody can heal forever ...
The Western Dream
Is as dark as it seems
… Living social double standards
What is broken can’t be fixed
What is dirty can’t be cleaned
And it’s always on repeat

I’m not a stigma
Maybe not even a significant other
I am the outcome of colonized culture
A westernized professional lover
In the end it is a matter
Of materiality over my identity
The Western Dream
Separates you and me
Nobody can heal forever ...
The Western Dream
Is as dark as it seems
… Living social double standards
What is broken can’t be fixed
What is dirty can’t be cleaned
And it’s always on repeat

The Western Dream
Separates you and me
Nobody can heal forever ...
The Western Dream
Is as dark as it seems
… Living social double standards
What is broken can’t be fixed
What is dirty can’t be cleaned
And it’s always on repeat
