Lyrics
Life has changed around this place
Life in this place has undergone significant changes.
For reasons I can't explain
There are reasons for these changes, but they are not explainable.
I know one thing about ya, babe
Despite not fully understanding, there's one thing known about the person addressed; they are causing harm to the democratic system.
You're sinking our democracy
The person addressed is contributing to the decline of democracy.
You used to be so fine
The person used to be very appealing.
Like rainbow cotton candy on my mind
Their previous allure was as delightful and captivating as colorful, sweet cotton candy.
I guess I lost my sweet tooth a long, long time ago
The singer has lost interest in the person a long time ago.
For you, for you
This lack of interest is particularly for the addressed person.
I wish the facts were crystal clear
The wish is for clear facts, but they seem to vanish or become obscured in the current situation.
But in this light, they disappear
Under certain circumstances, the truth becomes elusive or indiscernible.
The darkness, it keeps marching on
The darkness, representing negativity or challenges, persists and continues to affect them.
Dragged us down for way too long
This negativity has dragged them down for an extended period.
Years ago, we used to be so proud
Years ago, there was a sense of pride and a willingness to express opinions openly.
And prude to speak our thoughts out loud
Previously, there was a conservative or morally strict nature about expressing thoughts.
Now all this ugly friction, it wears and tears me down
Now, the conflict and discord are emotionally wearing the singer down.
What did you do? What did you do? Oh
The singer questions the actions of the person causing this distress.
I wish we both could hold the hands of time
A desire to reverse time together is expressed.
And spin them counterclockwise as we climb
Wishing to turn back time and improve the situation together.
I've lost track of the love we had
The singer has lost the memory or feeling of the love they once shared.
It's sad that I can't count on you, on you
It's disheartening that the singer cannot rely on the addressed person anymore.
