lyrics

Faded Ideals
Idealism left behind
Getting too old for choosing sides
Growing up there is just no time
Past ideals shoved aside
(Verse x2)

“Just didn’t care”
“It didn’t mean as much”
The fight didn’t leave
You left the fight
(Chorus x2)

You left the fight (x4)

So tired of the same old story
Another quiter - you just gave up
How you could feel so strongly
And now you couldn’t give a
couldn’t give a fuck

A common perception is that idealism is some sort of folly of youth and that as we get older and wiser we will see that we no longer have the time or inclination to be interested in causes and lifestyle changes. I was told that when I got older and I was worried about the pressing issues of job and family that my ideals would all just slip away. I think that is a completely bullshit mentality. If you strongly believe in something, there is no reason in shouldn’t carry with you to later stages of life. And if you truly believe in making this world a better place and making yourself a better person, there is no reason why you cannot be open to new ideas and fresh fights. This is about something much greater than breaking Edge or ceasing to be vegan/vegetarian. This is about selling out your soul like a fucking coward.

about

Poison Planet Chicago, Illinois

What separates punk from other genres of music is its visceral menacing sounds make it the perfect soundtrack for anger & protest. The direct result of this combination of elements is that it became a vehicle for socio-political ideas.

PxP firmly embrace that vehicle in the hope of advocating the idea of personal growth & change; personal is political.

Straight Edge.
Veganism.
Human Rights.
