What drives a man to commit such a horrible crime? The father of a very good friend of mine in high school was shot and killed. Four others were also targeted and killed, and then the shooter, as if his actions weren't full of sheer cowardice enough, shot and killed himself too. It's been constantly on my mind ever since I heard the news a few days ago.
I don't pretend to feel an ounce of pain compared to those of the families affected. As I say in the song, this pain isn't mine, just speaking my mind. I just can't fathom it.
The title "Silver Spoon" refers to the sick sense of entitlement the shooter must have had, thinking he had the right to take these lives and deprive so much from their surviving loved ones.
Lyrics after the jump.
Silver Spoon
What a waste of my time
Trying to figure out your life
Bullet and a coward
Nothing close to justified
This pain isn't mine
Just speaking my mind
Silver spoon fed your whole life?
Were you abused as a child?
It doesn't begin to justify
Stealing so many lives
Bullet for a recourse
Madness in your sights
What a day for remorse
Nothing left to justify
Your ripples rip through their tides
Grandchildren deprived
I can't believe my eyes
What a waste of my time
What a waste of a life
Too afraid to face
The faces that you deprived
If you're going to take a stand
Put the gun down and be a man
