Lyrics
Lost Generation
Introduction to a group of people identified as the "Lost Generation."
I'm taking control, I'll burn it down
The speaker is asserting their control and willingness to dismantle something.
But this fight makes me weaker
Despite fighting, the struggle weakens the speaker.
The deed is done, the time has come
An action has been completed, and the time for it has arrived.
I'm running in the night, time to go
The speaker is moving quickly at night, indicating urgency.
Welcome to the show
Welcoming someone to witness or participate in something, possibly dramatic or significant.
Follow me, I'll make you see
Encouraging someone to follow and promising to reveal a new perspective.
I'll take you for a ride
The speaker will take the listener on a journey or experience.
We'll forget the morning after
Promising to engage in activities without concern for the consequences the next day.
Escape the morning light
Escaping the early hours of the day, implying avoiding responsibilities or reality.
We'll pretend there's no tomorrow
Living in the moment without thought for the future.
I take what I want, you get what you get
The speaker takes what they want, possibly at the expense of others, while acknowledging consequences.
But the price's getting higher
The cost or consequence of actions is becoming increasingly burdensome.
I'm on the run the sun is gone
The speaker is fleeing or evading, with the absence of light indicating a darker time.
My mind is running wild time to go
The speaker's thoughts or actions are uncontrolled and urgent, signaling a need to depart.
Welcome to the show
Reiteration of the invitation to witness or engage in something significant.
