Lyrics
In the basement waiting for a statement
In a state of anticipation in a lower level, awaiting a communication.
But station's frequency is vacant
The radio frequency at the station is empty or not transmitting.
Why don't we go outside
Suggesting a desire to leave the current situation and experience the outdoors.
In the break room waiting for a big boom
In a designated space for breaks, anticipating a significant event or explosion.
Smoke haze rising in a big plume
A visible cloud of smoke is rising, indicating a substantial disturbance.
Everyone's dissatisfied
A sense of general dissatisfaction among people.
The pools have dried
Referring to the depletion of resources, possibly metaphorical pools.
The trial's been tried
Legal proceedings have taken place, but the issue persists.
But the leak's still spilling
An ongoing problem or leakage despite attempts to address it.
They don't know what to do
A lack of understanding or direction in dealing with the situation.
The flow won't stop
Continued uncontrolled movement or flow.
Pressure still won't drop
Despite efforts, pressure remains high and unresolved.
Tanks are overfilling
Containers or systems are overflowing, possibly signifying excess.
Forward we crawl
Moving forward slowly.
Backwards we fall
Experiencing setbacks or regressing.
Through the ebb and the flow
Navigating through the constant fluctuations of life.
Living within a dream wading through the stream
Living in a state of illusion, navigating challenges.
Beyond the ebb and flow
Moving beyond the constant changes and challenges.
Up late to earn the proceeds
Staying awake to earn money.
All stressed out, working until your eyes bleed
Feeling stressed and overworked.
Overtime to buy things we don't need
Working extra hours to afford unnecessary items.
Always on the go and you're thirty thirty
Constantly on the move and feeling exhausted.
Gotta make the ends and get dirty dirty
Working hard to make ends meet.
Will it ever stop will it ever end, is it worthy?
Questioning the sustainability and value of the current lifestyle.
Reality of this is you go loco loco
Experiencing a loss of mental stability.
And too much of this way and you'll go postal postal
Too much of a certain lifestyle leading to a breaking point.
Happens all the time just get in line and go comatose
People becoming numb or desensitized to life's challenges.
The moms and pops have all closed up shop
Local businesses shutting down, possibly due to economic challenges.
And who can blame them? I don't know anyone
Understanding the reasons behind the closures.
The kids just hide scared to go outside
Youth avoiding the outside world due to fear.
And just who can blame them?
Understanding and empathizing with the reasons for fear.
And at times it seems unreal
Perceiving reality as surreal or unbelievable.
We can see but we can't feel
Observing without emotional connection or impact.
And no one's at the wheel
A sense of aimlessness or lack of control.
Born here all alone
Being born into a challenging environment.
Growing old with hearts of stone
Aging with emotional hardness or resilience.
The lights are on but no one's home
Appearance of normalcy, but emotional emptiness.
Forward we crawl
Slow progress in the face of challenges.
Backwards we fall
Experiencing setbacks or regressing.
Through the ebb and the flow
Navigating through the constant fluctuations of life.
Living within a dream wading through the stream
Living in a state of illusion, navigating challenges.
Beyond the ebb and flow
Moving beyond the constant changes and challenges.
And then just we have faith
Having faith during difficult times.
Cross invaded to the ebb and flow
Facing challenges and disruptions with resilience.
