Lyrics

One step forward, three steps back
And that's the dance
One step forward, three steps back
And clap your hands
One step forward, three steps back
And that's my jam
One step forward, three steps back
What you know about progress
What you know about love
What you know about all these projects we've left undone
What you know about our children's future
What you know about love
What you know about all this progress, we're making up
One step forward, three steps back
And that's the dance, and that's the dance
One step forward, three steps back
Clap your hands
One step forward, three steps back
And that's my jam, yeah that's my jam
One step forward, three steps back
Is it progress when the destination is desolation
I've reservations holding up presentations of preservation
Of the species
Like achieving emancipation from death
When life ain't the breadth
And life ain't what's left
When we strip away the borders that define it
Blinded in our arrogance
Staring at the shining
Of our own perceptions of self
That god energy
Little g, kill your idols, big g forgive me
One step forward, three steps back
And that's the dance, and that's the dance
One step forward, three steps back
And clap your hands
One step forward, three steps back
And that's my jam, yeah that's my jam
One step forward, three steps back
I got, large language
Deep mind, analyze these lines
In between, we find, the nuance, that we hide
Context, complex, guess what, word's next
Fuck that, going off the deep end
Ain't about to let 'em deprecate me while I'm sleeping
Demon deacon, awakened in the forest
An irrelevant reference that will bridge us to the chorus
Said Hal ain't on a mission to destroy us
Hah, keep telling yourself that
The truth is we're killing ourselves, that
Just might be the problem here
Trained it on our hopes and fears
Now we're hoping it's our hopes it hears
One step forward, three steps back
And that's the dance
One step forward, three steps back
And clap your hands
One step forward, three steps back
And that's my jam, yeah that's my jam
One step forward, three steps back
