Lyrics
The red sky's moaning and the wind is blowing hard
The sky is displaying a reddish hue, accompanied by strong winds.
Better take warning 'cause this time it's gone too far
There's a serious situation underway, and caution is advised as it has escalated beyond a manageable point.
We been smokin' it more but enjoyin'it less
Despite increased usage, the enjoyment derived from it is diminishing.
We better stop using or there'll be nothing left
Continued use will lead to depletion or exhaustion of resources.
The eyes of defiance are slowly being crushed to death
The rebellious spirit is gradually being suppressed and vanishing.
There's a fire in the western world
There is a metaphorical 'fire' representing turmoil or chaos prevailing in the western world.
House in shambles, trip wire under the door
A house is in disarray, with a potentially dangerous trap set at the entrance.
18, wasted, trying to hide the crack in the floor
An individual, at 18, is wasting away, trying to hide a significant flaw or issue.
Don't know what you're doing, don't really care
There's a lack of concern or understanding about one's actions.
School's just a miss-hit going nowhere
Schooling seems futile, lacking direction or purpose.
You're running for your life while the scandal's
While trying to escape, scandals or controversies are unfolding.
Are burning the stairs
Chaos or troubles are intensifying.
There's a fire in the western world
Reiteration of the turmoil or chaos in the western world.
Can't you hear the rooster crowing in the dead of the night
An indication of a disruptive occurrence, represented by a rooster crowing in the night.
Don'tcha wanna trash'em, jackboots step out of line
A desire to rebel or confront authority figures.
It's a concrete jungle, stones and tears
A description of a harsh, unforgiving environment with emotional distress.
Quickly becoming what everybody fears
It's rapidly transforming into what everyone fears or dreads.
It ain't just color the message keeps cuttin' clear
The message being conveyed is not just superficial; it's deeply significant and impactful.
There's a fire in the western world
Reiteration of the chaotic state of affairs in the western world.
