Velleity
About
The song is titled “velleity” to raise awareness about a word that means a wish or inclination not strong enough to lead to action. This is the lowest degree of willpower that is insufficient to make a serious change or bring ideas to life. In contrast, the lyrics are all about what happens when you decide to go beyond that.
The first verse is when you begin the journey and are extracting yourself from the current, while the second verse is when you are fully detached and progressing with newly built habits. The chorus extends both verses emphasizing that you are on a quest to find answers on your own and reminding you about the big picture.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Escape the humdrum, bat the breeze
No epilogue, just make the cease
Thus, keep holding on to what you’ve got and what you know
Must keep holding on to who we are
Fallacy by a creature of habit
Feelin’ guilt, tryna be consoled
Trust there’s light at the end of the tunnel where you stand
There is light at the end of the tunnel
[Chorus]
Standing strong, venture the unknown
No matter what they say to us, won’t change our mind at all
It always comes ‘round our way, understand
When it always goes beyond velleity
[Verse 2]
Demons fear us when we try
And fathom all our reasons why
With embrace win all the fails, what matters is attempts
Embracing all the fails, reach hidden depths
Burn the candle at both ends
Cool down then go again
Pass the threshold lives a dream, a reality unseen
There lives a dream, so get a second wind
[Chorus]
Standing strong, venture the unknown
No matter what they say to us, won’t change our mind at all
It always comes ‘round our way, understand
When it always goes beyond velleity
[Bridge]
[Chorus] x2
Standing strong, venture the unknown
No matter what they say to us, won’t change our mind at all
It always comes ‘round our way, understand
When it always goes beyond velleity
