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
