The irrelevance of the label

Hey guys, how is everyone? I'd like to talk about the pointlessness of a judgment or label. It seems like in this society, we tend to label everything as one way or another. We label ourselves, we label others, we label everything that passes our sight. I think that is one of the reasons this social anxiety can be so strong. We struggle long and hard trying to find ourselves amongst this sea of labels and judgments. If you play heavy metal, you are a "rocker", if you like sports you are a "jock". You see where I'm going with this? All a label does is confine a human being to existing within the labels parameters. We are much more complex than that, there are so many different facets to someones personality, no one is better or worse than anyone else, and that's the truth. We don't see things as they are, instead we make these assumptions, judgments and labels. We say things are "stupid", "gay", "lame", and so on, instead of seeing them for what they are. It only makes things worse for us. We need to stop creating these labels, and images to identify ourselves with and realize that everyone is completely different and things are not that simple. All this is is a filter of our beliefs. So a first step to change, I think, is to learn how to use awareness and suspend judgment of ourselves and others. I hope this has helped.

I'm hereby forgiving Metallica for suing Napster

New blood joins this earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pained disgrace
The young boy learns their rules

With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man strugggles on and on he's known
A vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away-eay

Chorus:

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee UNFORGIVEN

They dedicate their lives
To RUNNING all of his
He tries to please THEM all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee UNFORGIVEN

whoa, whoa

Never Free
Never Me
So I dub thee UNFORGIVEN
You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee UNFORGIVEN
Never Free
Never Me
So I dub thee UNFORGIVEN
You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee UNFORGIVEN
Never Free
Never Me
So I dub thee UNFORGIVEN
