Lyrics
Oh, the endless night
Describing a period of prolonged darkness or hardship.
The longest flight
Metaphorical reference to a lengthy journey or ordeal.
Until you were flagged down (yeah)
Until you were signaled to stop or confronted.
Oh, the myth, the flower
Refers to something legendary or idealized (myth) and beauty or success (flower).
Your finest hour
Refers to someone's most excellent moment or achievement.
Can you hear it fade down? (Yeah)
As the moment passes, it diminishes or disappears.
Oh, is there anybody listening?
Questioning if anyone is paying attention or caring about the situation.
Does anybody really care?
Raising doubt about whether anyone genuinely has concern or interest.
Flying away
Escaping from the current situation.
So wrapped up within yourself
Being overly self-absorbed or self-centered.
While the house you've built burns to the ground
While everything falls apart, metaphorically represented as the burning of a built life or achievements.
And you're still off nowhere to be found
Despite chaos, you remain untraceable or uninvolved.
Can you hear?
Questioning if one can perceive or understand what's happening.
Are you too far gone?
Asking if someone has gone too far in a negative direction.
Well, you can have a rest
Permission to take a break or pause if meeting certain criteria.
If you pass the test
Once conditions are met, but everything has limits or an end.
But everything's finite (yeah)
Implying a realization of where one's actions have led them.
Oh, look where you've ended up
Reflecting on the outcome or consequences of one's choices.
You've watched enough
Having seen or experienced enough, suggesting a need for change.
Let's book another flight (yeah)
Sarcastically proposing to repeat the same actions despite awareness.
Oh, and is there anybody listening?
Repeating the inquiry if there's an audience or someone paying attention.
Flying away
A repetition of escaping or distancing oneself from reality.
So wrapped up within yourself
Being excessively self-focused while one's life collapses.
While the house you've built burns to the ground
Metaphorically representing personal destruction or failure.
And you're still off nowhere to be found
Despite turmoil, you remain absent or uninvolved.
Can you hear?
Repeating the query if one can understand or perceive the situation.
Are you too far gone?
Questioning if someone has moved too far into a detrimental state.
Flying away
Reiteration of distancing oneself from reality.
Welcome home you ingénues
Welcoming individuals who are naive or inexperienced.
Oh, we got a VIP table in the corner
Describing a special place for those inexperienced or unaware of harsh realities.
And there's more in the bathroom if you wanna
Suggesting drug use or escapism as an option.
You've got friends
Despite the situation, emphasizing the presence of acquaintances.
Oh, (fly) flying away
Reiteration of escaping or distancing oneself from reality.
Still wrapped up within yourself
Continuing to be excessively self-absorbed.
While the house you built burns to the ground
Metaphorically representing personal destruction or failure once more.
But, you're still off nowhere to be found
Despite chaos, remaining untraceable or uninvolved again.
Can you hear?
Repeating the inquiry if one can understand or perceive the situation.
When you're too far gone
Asking if someone has progressed too far into a negative state.
