Broken Promise Land
Journey Through Broken Promise Land
Lyrics
There's a place
Refers to a certain location or state.
Where words mean nothing or much less
Words in this place hold little value or significance.
Such a disgrace
Describes the situation as shameful or dishonorable.
We got to get out of this mess
Expresses the urgency to escape from this chaotic situation.
Coming in under the cover of darkness
Arriving secretly and discreetly during the night.
How high shall we build this wall?
Questioning the height of barriers or divisions.
I could've said more but it would've seemed heartless
Could have spoken more, but chose not to in order to avoid being insensitive.
How hard did I slam that door?
Reflects on closing a relationship abruptly and forcefully.
I swore I'd never walk away
Made a promise not to leave, which is now being reconsidered.
Until I saw this day
Realization that the current situation was unforeseen.
It didn't turn out the way we planned
The outcome differs from the intended plan or expectation.
Now I'm living in broken promise land
Living in a place characterized by unfulfilled promises.
Broken promise land
Reiterating the idea of residing in a land of broken promises.
There's a town I know
Referring to another place with similarities to a historic location.
Has a strange resemblance to Jericho
Comparing the town to Jericho, a place with symbolic significance.
And even though
Despite preparations for a significant event, there's a sense of impending trouble.
Seven horns are getting ready to blow
Alluding to a biblical reference about impending catastrophe.
Coming in under the cover of darkness
Repetition of secretive arrival under the cover of darkness.
How high shall we build this wall?
Questioning the necessity and extent of fortifications.
Could've said more but it would've seemed heartless
Similar to line 8, choosing not to express fully to avoid causing pain.
How tight shall we close that door?
How securely should one end or sever connections?
They only claimed to be redeemed
People claimed to be redeemed but act contrary to their claims.
They take that name and then blaspheme
They misuse or disrespect what they claim to hold sacred.
It didn't turn out the way we planned
Reiterating the unexpected outcome compared to initial intentions.
Now I'm living in broken promise land
Continuing to reside in a place where promises remain unfulfilled.
Broken promise land
Reaffirming the state of residing in a land of unkept promises.
There's a place
Referring again to a particular place or state.
Where infidels and showgirls meet
Describing a location where unlikely individuals meet.
Such a disgrace
Expresses the collapse or failure of expected joyful events.
Wedding bells crumble in the street
Symbolism of disrupted weddings in the streets.
Coming in under the cover of darkness
Repetition of secretive arrival under the cover of darkness.
How high shall we build this wall?
Questioning the need for heightened barriers or separations.
I could've said more but it would've seemed heartless
Similar to line 8 and 24, choosing to withhold information to avoid hurting.
How tight shall we shut that door?
How firmly should one close or seal off opportunities?
In the name of the Father and the Son
Referencing both religious and destructive elements in the name of different powers.
In the name of gasoline and a gun
Contrasting religious and destructive elements.
It didn't turn out the way we planned
Reiterating the unexpected outcome compared to initial intentions.
Now I'm living in broken promise land
Continuing to live in a place characterized by unfulfilled promises.
Broken promise land
Reaffirming the idea of residing in a land of broken promises.
