Lyrics

I saw the youth dancing on top of the world

The speaker observed young people celebrating and feeling triumphant.

Killing violence forever

An expression of a desire to end violence permanently.

I felt the truth, a scream heard from from above

The speaker sensed a profound truth, represented by a scream from above, possibly a revelation or realization.

Memories fade but faith grows inside

While memories may fade, the speaker emphasizes that faith continues to grow internally.


And it's so clear now

A clear realization or understanding dawns upon the speaker.

It's so pure now

The newfound understanding is perceived as pure and untainted.


Because tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight is highlighted as a significant moment, where the first genuine smiles and screams occur.

Is the first time you smile

The first time genuine happiness is expressed through a smile.

It's the first time you scream

The first time genuine emotions are expressed through a scream.


The tide inside will rise

An internal force or emotion is expected to intensify and rise like a tide.


I saw the old man wearing a doll's dress

The speaker observed an elderly person dressed unusually, conveying a message about ownership of the land.

He said, "This land is yours so take it now

The old man encourages taking ownership of the land and sowing seeds of love and beauty.

And plantthe seeds of love and beauty and then

Instructions to forget about regrets and the old man.

Forget about regrets, forget about me"

An explicit directive to let go of past mistakes and the influence of the old man.


Can you remember your name

A rhetorical question prompting reflection on personal identity.

Tonight the pain is over

Emphasizing the end of pain and a sense of relief or resolution tonight.
