Decadence:

Simone’s Notes:

The word decadence, which at first meant simply "decline" in an abstract sense, is now most often used to refer to a perceived decay in standards, morals, dignity, religious faith, or skill at governing among the members of the elite of a very large social structure, such as an empire or nation state. By extension, it may refer to a decline in art, literature, science, technology, and work ethics, or very loosely to self-indulgent behaviour. Usage of the term frequently implies moral censure, or an acceptance of the idea, met with throughout the world since ancient times, that such declines are objectively observable and that they inevitably precede the destruction of the society in question; for this reason, modern historians use it with caution. The word originated in Medieval Latin, appeared in 16th-century French, and entered English soon afterwards. It bore the neutral meaning of decay, decrease, or decline until the late 19th century, when the influence of new theories of social degeneration contributed to its modern meaning.

The revelry is out tonight.

The girls and guys are out for blood.

Alcohol in one hand.

Hunting for a good time.

Nobody knows who is leading the charge.

They just follow to their own desire.

What shall they do first?

 

Some just want party.

The bars and clubs are starting to bore them.

These party animals want a new thrill for the night.

The streets are more than to supply them.

Lucky for them,

These slaves know where to look.

 

Some just want sex.

There is plenty of that roaming around the city.

Some tagged, some untagged.

The tagged ones are always fun to come back to.

The untagged ones serve as fresh meat.

Which ones are the horny ones up for tonight?

Aw, just grab whatever they feel like.

They have all night after all.

 

The rest just want it all.

All of it is what they will get.

The parties, the booze, the drugs, the sex

These party animals have huge appetite and stomachs.

Look out!

They won’t stop until they burn through it all

Once it’s all gone, they will look for more.

Watch your back,

Nobody is sleeping tonight.

 

The revelry is out tonight.

The girls and guys are out for blood.

The party is theirs tonight.

Everyone else is just the props.

Look out!

They won’t stop until they burn through it all

Once it’s all gone, they will look for more.

Watch your back,

Nobody is sleeping tonight.

 

The party is not going to end each into dawn.

Watch your back,

Nobody is sleeping tonight.
