Lyrics

I run down the street, with all the wandering things

I am running down the street surrounded by various things

Everyone can see, the world is coming free

It's evident to everyone that the world is becoming liberated

The monumental minds will dangle on a wire

Intellectual minds will be precarious, hanging on a wire

The great enormous wall, eventually will fall

The immense wall, a symbol of power, will eventually crumble


And all the world is waiting

The world collectively anticipates a significant event

To lay beneath the water

There is an expectation to submerge beneath the water

To use up from the ruins

To emerge from the remains and rebuild

And climb up from the bottom

To overcome challenges and rise from the bottom


I thought I heard you say, “The end is on the way

There's a belief or expression that suggests the end is imminent

I thought I heard you sing a million lovely things

Perceived hearing of beautiful, positive expressions

I thought I heard you cry, a howling through the night

Perceived hearing of cries, possibly indicating distress or longing

An everlasting scream, to echo through your dreams

An enduring scream that resonates in dreams


And all the world is waiting

The world collectively waits for something

To lay beneath the water

An expectation to submerge or surrender to a transformative experience

To rise up from the ruins

To rise again after facing destruction

And climb up from the bottom

To ascend from a low point or adversity


It was always growing there, a dim light in my eyes

A persistent, faint light in the speaker's eyes

Coming on to lead me through the night

This light guides the speaker through the night

All at once then slowly every sound you’ve ever known

All sounds, suddenly and gradually, become a universal hum

Is hummed by all the world in a drone

This hum is a collective resonance echoed by the entire world
