Lyrics
Oh, it ain't safe, you better watch out
Warning about the danger, advising caution
They're coming to get you - sickle and shroud
Impending threat or danger symbolized by death (sickle) and burial (shroud)
They'll turn you to stone and burn out your sky
Metaphorical transformation to a lifeless state, destroying hope or dreams
They've got your number - television eyes
Suggests being monitored or controlled by external forces, possibly media influence
The cinches, the doctors, the streaks, and the radio lights
Possibly refers to different influential groups or entities in society
You think you can fight, hold on to your ground
Encouragement to resist or stand firm against impending doom
The fingers of doom - time's counting down
Sense of inevitable fate or doom approaching
You think you can run from the mushroom cloud
Feeling of helplessness against a catastrophic event
Rain turns to cinder when the hammer comes down
Symbolic destruction and devastation caused by a powerful force
The cinches, the doctors, the streaks, and the radio lights
Reiteration of influential groups or forces, emphasizing their impact
You the cinches, the doctors, the streaks, and the radio lights
Repetition emphasizing the pervasiveness of these influential entities
You're living on the edge of a psycholdelic nightmare
Living in a state of chaos or intense fear, comparing it to a psychedelic and terrifying experience
I covered my face, I closed my door
Seeking refuge or protection from the impending chaos or danger
The skyline was falling like the armies before
Symbolic collapse or downfall, reminiscent of historical defeats
In the dust and the heat, the sound of change
Amidst chaos and upheaval, the potential for transformation or evolution
Hell bent for leather, nothing remained
Complete destruction or annihilation, leaving nothing behind
The cinches, the doctors, the streaks, and the radio lights
Reiteration of influential groups or forces and their pervasive impact
