Its so much more than just a slogan or a mark drawn on my hand
Not a market to be exploited or a fashion statement
Represented by a brand
It's a feeling and it can't be sold
And I'm bound by my word
To stay true to what I know to be real
Because no one else can tell me what it means to be Straight Edge
So don't ever try to purchase me or downplay what I feel
Because this commitment is not a passing phase
It's for myself that I've made this choice
It's for life that I embrace the edge
It comes from deep in my heart
I live to oppose their intoxication
My source of inspiration is threatened now by a false embrace
To be diluted and absorbed without a second chance
But standing defiant I won't let it end
So don't ever try to purchase me or downplay what I feel
Because this commitment is not a passing phase
Don't plan for me to sell out or expect to pull me down
These days will turn to years as you wait for us to fall
Because we will rise!
This is not a trend
Times will change but my spirit remains
Times will change but my feelings won't fade
Times will change but the spirit remains
Times will change but the truth is the same
This is not a trend.
Go!!!
The lyrics THIS IS NOT A TREND of TRIAL is also present in the album Foundation (1997)
Trial è una band hardcore punk politica di origine britannica, attiva dal 1982. Considerati pionieri del genere straight edge, il loro sound si caratterizza per un ritmo incalzante e testi politici fortemente impegnati contro l'alcolismo, la droga e le ingiustizie sociali. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano «No Future», «The System» e «Trial by Fire». La band ha pubblicato numerosi album, tra cui «The Trial of the Century» (1984) e «State of Mind» (1986), che hanno contribuito a definire l'estetica e la filosofia del movimento straight edge. Trial ha influenzato numerose altre band hardcore punk e continua ad essere una presenza attiva nel panorama musicale underground.
