Rival Sons highlight the dissonance between awareness and inaction as people witness injustices such as harm inflicted on the vulnerable, including children, yet choose self-deception.

The song critiques the pervasive influence of institutions that perpetuate confusion and distraction, urging listeners to recognize their complicity and reject complacency. 🔍 It underscores the tendency to dismiss issues as others' problems, prompting a necessary shift from passivity to active engagement with the world's challenges. By drawing attention to these themes, the artists advocate for reflection and social change, challenging individuals to acknowledge their power in addressing both personal and collective issues. 🌍
Look Away
Lyrics
You watch the incision
On your very own children on your television
In your own reflection
You deny the protection of your own infection
I can hear you calling me
I recognize your voice
Saying "Don't look away"
I won't look away, I won't look away
You watch the distribution
Of a mass confusion spread by the institution
Sell your inclusion of you and your own illusion
Instead of thinking you're the solution
I can hear you calling me
I recognize your voice
Saying "Don't look away"
I won't look away, I won't look away
If it's someone else's problem
Somebody else's pain
If it's someone else's problem
Somebody else's pain
It's someone else's problem
Somebody else's pain
I can hear you calling me
I recognize your voice
Saying "Don't look away"
I won't look away, I won't look away
I can hear you calling me
I recognize your voice
Saying "Don't look away"
I won't look away, I won't look away
