Lyrics
When I think about it
Reflecting on a subject or situation
A flower in a rainstorm
Metaphorically describing vulnerability in challenging circumstances
Holding its head up high
Facing challenges with resilience and strength
The thing that'll save it
Survival is dependent on the same factors that pose a threat
Same thing that harms it
Paradoxical nature of elements that both protect and harm
I wonder why
Expressing curiosity or confusion about the contradictory aspects
A reflection of the seasons
Symbolizing the passage of time and the cyclical nature of life
Witnessing the change in light
Observing and acknowledging the changes in the environment
Disappearing so discretely, like the melting ice
Noticing gradual disappearance or loss, possibly of natural elements
Have we gone mad so completely
Questioning collective irrational behavior leading to potential disaster
That we choose to deny
Choosing to ignore or dismiss the impending threat of extinction
Extinction in the blink of an eye
Highlighting the fragility of existence, emphasizing how quickly it can end
Now we come face it
Facing a harsh reality or truth
No lie can erase it
Emphasizing the permanence of certain consequences
Smoke signals in the sky
Indicating signs or warnings that are unmistakable
No more alone time
No longer having time for solitude or personal reflection
Compliant in a collective crime
Being complicit in a shared wrongdoing or destructive behavior
Returning to the scene
Returning to a critical situation or confronting a recurring issue
Skeptics, cynics
Describing a skeptical and cynical mindset
We're mesmerized by the fire
Fascination with destructive forces, possibly metaphorical fire
Consumed by greed, the landfills piling high
Being consumed by greed and witnessing environmental degradation
Everything we possess just becomes
Material possessions becoming obstacles to clear thinking
A roadblock in our minds
Psychological barriers hindering progress or understanding
Extinction in the blink of an eye
Reiterating the theme of sudden and imminent extinction
Now's the only future
Present moment as the only time to influence the future
The end's a little closer
Emphasizing the proximity of an inevitable end
