Lyrics

Waking up your family when the water floods your streets

Awakening others during a crisis when water floods the streets.

You better hurry up and pack your things, the ground twists beneath your feet

Urging to quickly gather belongings as the ground shifts unpredictably.

Not all is gold that glitters here, and nothing's what it seems

Warning that appearances can be deceiving, and reality is not straightforward.

In this land that you've all pillaged - I still see it in my dreams

Reflecting on a land that has been exploited, still haunting in dreams.


What would it take to lose your way now

Pondering the circumstances needed to lose one's path or control.

What would it take to lose control?

Questioning the factors that could lead to losing control.


Falling, falling, falling down

Describing a descent, possibly metaphorical, with the world in turmoil.

The world is burning out

Observing a world in crisis and on the verge of collapse.

Watching, waiting

Actively watching and anticipating the imminent end.

Waiting on the end to arrive

Waiting for the conclusion or resolution to unfold.


You're sending out a thousand ships and looking to the stars

Contrasting space exploration with internal conflicts tearing a nation apart.

While down here on the ground your country tears itself apart

Highlighting the dichotomy between aspirations and domestic chaos.

The natural world rebels against you, so go on the attack

Suggesting a rebellion of the natural world against human actions.

You know all your children can't protect you, fighting for your scraps

Children unable to shield against consequences, fighting for limited resources.


What would you do to meet your savior

Posing a question about the lengths one would go to meet a savior figure.

Or one that would still accept your soul

Questioning if there's anyone who would still accept one's soul.


Falling, falling, falling down

Describing a continued descent with the world deteriorating.

The world is burning out

Observing a world in a state of crisis and decay.

Watching, waiting,

Reiterating the act of watching and waiting for the impending end.

Waiting on the end to arrive

Waiting for the conclusion or resolution to unfold.


Now it's too late for penance

Expressing regret that it's too late for repentance after freely giving all.

You've stolen all I gave you freely

Accusing someone of stealing everything provided willingly.
