Brymo’s song “Ozymandias” is a critique of pride, hypocrisy, and the nature of power, drawing on the ancient theme of a mighty ruler whose legacy is forgotten. The lyrics address both the fall of empires and the more personal failures of hypocrisy, specifically a man who takes a woman’s love without reciprocating it. Beyond this personal story, the song expands to a call for social change.
[Verse 1]
I used to have two vices
Smoking Jane and eating coochie
These days I just lose the count
The universe is generous
The high is glori-ous
[Chorus]
Ozymandias
Ozymandias
History forgets all Ozymandias
Ozymandias
Ozymandias
Hubris destroys us Ozymandias
[Verse 2]
And their hypocrisy
How I know the rules easy
And how I break them as I choose
Taking her love and keeping her confused
[Chorus]
Ozymandias
Ozymandias
History forgets all ozymandias
Ozymandias
Ozymandias
Hubris destroys us ozymandias
[Verse 3]
And the people shall no longer
Settle for mediocre systems
And all streets are singing
Songs about anarchy and all
[Outro]
It's time for the new
The old rule must go
