Younger from Liars by Good NightOwl

“Younger” is where the Unreliable Narrator gets caught lying big time in public and wrecks his chances of gaining more power for the time being. He thinks back to his younger days in hopes to come up with some answers, but because of the abusive pattern of thinking he is so used to, he instead concocts a scheme. He has a lot of money. In a world where you can’t trick a mass population with religious messages so easily any longer, you can always use your massive amounts of money to pay scientists. So Unreliable Narrator does just that. But just how many scientists would you have to pay?

Lyrics

I was gonna get even with the kids who called me odd
Better if I’m believing in in a fictional rise to the top

Cause the best revenge is succeeding if you think you’re built on lies
But it isn’t so deceiving if the memory’s just another timeline

Stepping carefully between these parallel roads
I look around and notice shimmering geodes
I think about the kids from back in the day
I space out and drift and they wash away
I’m a cool kid now in a nice bright shirt
On a different day without all the hurt and
I look into my reflection in all the crystal rocks
Where my mind’s eye’s been and I
See whatever I want to see cause a scientist validated me in a

Study of the mind
Reveals that in time
We can change the past
But it doesn’t last

The other kids would just
Poke holes in the stories I would tell
All of history seemed off
I’d state fact and they’d just yell

Cause the quantum realm divides us, from the typical design
When we look back at memories, it’s not from this time.

Study of the mind
Reveals that in time
Perspective is key
Subjectivity
