The Erasure of Names

[Verse 1]
Once a dictionary looked like a continent of countless speech,
Where a thought could find a path through any star it chose to reach.
But someone decided that excess was bad for the design,
And started crossing meanings out with an archivist’s line.
First to go were the names of those subtle, inner states,
Then definitions of rare shades where faith or fear awaits.
Then they stripped the language down to service codes and text,
So every single fresh idea could pass the checklist next.

And it became convenient living with no semantics in a fight,
With no citations, history links, or logic burning bright.
Where every single object got its ultimate decree,
And any kind of complexity was labeled as a failure's fee.
And people got used to the words that had no volume, no depth inside,
Where instead of a cause they got a layout, simplified and dried.
Where memory was reduced to the latest version of the text,
And the past became a sub-section of the files they edit next.

[Chorus]
If the name disappears from the scene —
Who will recognize what it means?
If the doubt disappears from the mind —
Who will trace the tracks left behind?
By erasing the concepts real slow,
With no swords, with no blood, with no blow,
You can block a man’s path to the light...
Even the way to a question is tight.

[Verse 2]
I saw ministers of order tracking down the lexicon’s state,
Where every phrase must reflect the protocol at the gate.
Where truth isn't something you look for — it’s assigned to execute,
Like a signature on papers that went through the filters of the institute.
There, facts were swapped around with a striking, surgical skill,
Never breaking the report style, keeping it clean and chill.
And every single morning brought an updated description of the day,
Where yesterday's conclusions were a false memory wiped away.

But the most dangerous thing wasn't this art of magic trickery,
It was how the mind learns to live inside this architecture's delivery.
How reason, getting used to ready-made packages of rules,
Loses the capability to see the lack of explanations in their schools.
And I realized: censorship doesn't just come with a warning sign or bans,
It happens when there's nobody left to name the things in their hands.
When out of a massive world only a few symbols remain in the dark,
And thought voluntarily locks itself inside its own prison park.

[Chorus]
If the name disappears from the scene —
Who will recognize what it means?
If the doubt disappears from the mind —
Who will trace the tracks left behind?
By erasing the concepts real slow,
With no swords, with no blood, with no blow,
You can block a man’s path to the light...
Even the way to a question is tight.
