No One Would Riot for Less
Echoes of Life's Fragility
Lyrics
Well death may come invisible
Death may arrive unnoticed or in a divine manifestation of destruction
Or in a holy wall of fire
It can come surrounded by a holy and intense wall of fire
In the breath between the markers
In the pause between life's significant events, marked perhaps by milestones
On a black I-80 mile
On a desolate stretch of Interstate 80, a highway with symbolic significance
from the madness of the governments
Transitioning from the chaos of government actions to the wrath of the sea
To the vengeance of the sea
Where everything is overshadowed by the predetermined shape of destiny
Yeah everything is eclipsed
All aspects of life are obscured or overshadowed
By the shape of destiny
By the predetermined form of destiny or fate
so love me now, hell is coming
Expressing urgency to receive love before impending doom arrives
Yeah kiss my mouth, hell is here
An invitation to embrace passionately as hell is already present
little soldier, little insect
Referring to individuals as small soldiers or insects in the face of war
You know war it has no heart
War is portrayed as heartless, devoid of compassion
It will kill you in the sunshine
It can bring death whether in the brightness of sunlight or in darkness
Or happily in the dark
Indicating war's indifference to the circumstances of killing
where kindness is a card game
Describing kindness as a game of chance, like a card game
And a bent up cigarette
Referencing a bent cigarette, portraying hardship in the midst of war
In the trenches, in the hard rain
Depicting challenging conditions in the trenches amid heavy rainfall
With a bullet and a bet
With the added elements of a bullet and a bet, suggesting risk and danger
he says help me out, yeah, hell is coming
Seeking assistance in the face of imminent hell and chaos
Could you do it now? hell is here
A plea to act promptly in the presence of hellish circumstances
see the sterile soil pours in the sky
Depicting a desolate and infertile environment, possibly due to war
Dirty water final scraps of light
Dirty water and fading light symbolizing the remnants of hope
Bring a new tear
The arrival of a new tear, potentially signifying fresh sorrow or despair
so wake, baby, wake
Encouraging someone to awaken, possibly from ignorance or denial
But leave that blanket round you
A request to remain sheltered, implying danger or insecurity
There's nothing as safe
Highlighting the safety of the current situation
I'm leaving this place
Expressing a decision to leave a place, possibly due to impending danger
There is nothing I'm planning to take
Stating the intention to leave without taking anything except a companion
Just you, just you
Emphasizing the importance of the companion (you) in the journey
