Lyrics
There's something you should know
Expressing the presence of important information
I can't sing a love song anymore
Unable to express romantic feelings through song anymore
There's something going on
Indicating awareness of a significant situation
And I can't turn my back on it anymore
Feeling a responsibility to face and address the situation
How can we go to sleep at night
Raising a question about the ability to sleep peacefully
And lay there in our beds?
Highlighting the vulnerability of being in bed
When we know what's going on
Recognizing the awareness of global issues
With the world today
Connecting personal awareness to the state of the world
Is it in my head?
Questioning the legitimacy of thoughts
Am I the only one?
Expressing a sense of isolation in perception
Is it in my head?
Repeating the uncertainty about thoughts
When the war has just begun
Acknowledging the commencement of a conflict or struggle
We look away, look away
Repetition emphasizing the act of deliberately ignoring or avoiding
Look away, look away
-Look away, look away
-Look away, look away
-Is it in my head?
Reiterating the doubt regarding one's thoughts
Is it in my head?
-Look away, look away, no
Asserting the decision not to look away
There's something in the air at night
Sensing a change or disturbance in the atmosphere during the night
That feels so different
Describing the unique feeling of the night
And I don't understand
Expressing confusion about the unfolding events
I didn't see this wind coming
Not anticipating or being prepared for a significant change
How can we go to sleep at night
Repeating the questioning of peaceful sleep in light of global awareness
And lay there in our beds?
-When we know what's going on
-With the world today
-Is it in my head?
Repeating the uncertainty about thoughts and acknowledging the beginning of a conflict
Am I the only one?
-Is it in my head?
-When the war has just begun
-We look away, look away
Repetition emphasizing the act of deliberately looking away
Look away, look away
-Look away, look away
-Look away, look away
-Is it in my head?
Repeating the uncertainty about thoughts and acknowledging the ongoing conflict
Am I the only one?
-Is it in my head?
-When the war has just begun
-We look away, look away
Final repetition emphasizing the decision not to look away
Look away, look away
-Look away, look away
-look away, look away, no
