Starts with Them, Ends with Us
Journey Through Shadows: Unveiling the Tale of Starts with Them, Ends with Us
Lyrics
Don't speak
Refrain from speaking
Don't speak until you've caught your breath
Pause speaking until you've recovered your breath
Don't sleep
Avoid sleeping
Don't sleep unless you're safe in bed
Only sleep if you're in a secure place
Just pray in the night they take someone instead
Hope that in the night, others are taken instead of you
The hills are alive with the sounds of your head
Imagery of disturbing thoughts echoing in the mind
Please dear
Request for assurance about the safety of loved ones
Please dear be sure of us and ours
Be certain about our collective well-being
Don't fear
Discourage fearing the worst before it happens
Don't fear the worst in case it comes
Prevent anxiety about potential negative outcomes
Just pray in the night that they don't take your love
Hope in the night that your love is not taken away
The hills are alive with the sounds of their guns
Imagery of violence and conflict in the surroundings
You're getting use to 'em
Becoming accustomed to challenging situations
What happens next
Uncertainty about what will happen in the future
What happens next
Repetition emphasizing the uncertainty
East to west
Mention of directions, possibly symbolizing a journey
Lunatics
Reference to irrational behavior or people
And it started slow
The beginning is gradual
Ends in a rush
Ending abruptly or intensifying suddenly
Starts with them
Initiated by others
And ends with us
Concluding with us, suggesting personal involvement
Just pray in the night these walls are enough
Hope at night for the protection of walls
The hills are alive and the rivers show blood
Imagery of violence and suffering in nature
The cancer is wide and it's taken my trust
Metaphor for a widespread issue affecting trust
Do what we will and we will what we must
Emphasizing the necessity of doing what is required
