Before the Flood
Embracing Chaos: Before the Flood's Poignant Reflection on Facing the End
Lyrics
Before the flood what's the last thing that you'll do
Contemplating actions before a significant event, possibly a disaster or major change.
Would you run or not believe it's true
Questioning whether one would face the situation or deny its reality.
Would you go to a place where you feel safe
Considering seeking refuge in a familiar and secure place.
Start again and make the same mistakes
Reflecting on the tendency to repeat past mistakes when starting anew.
Even when the world starts to end
Expressing a nonchalant attitude even in the face of global catastrophe.
I don't think that I would leave my bed
Indicating a reluctance to engage with the outside world during challenging times.
If I wake up and the sky was red
Imagining waking up to ominous signs but choosing to stay unaffected.
I'd just say that it has started again
Accepting the recurrence of negative events without much concern.
If I could run away in my dreams
Fantasizing about escaping reality through dreams.
I don't think that I would ever leave
Expressing a strong inclination to remain in the realm of dreams rather than facing reality.
It's always punches and losing teeth
Acknowledging life's challenges, including physical and metaphorical struggles.
But you'll never beat reality
Emphasizing the inevitability and difficulty of dealing with real-life hardships.
Before the flood what's the last thing that you'll do
Repeating the opening question, reinforcing the theme of facing impending events.
Would you dive down deep where you believe
Considering the depth of commitment or belief in the face of challenges.
Would you go to top and watch as the valley fills
Pondering observing the unfolding situation from a detached perspective.
As you wait for our fate
Awaiting an uncertain fate as events unfold.
Even when the world starts to end
Reiterating the indifference to a global crisis affecting the world.
I don't think that I would leave my bed
Maintaining a preference for staying in bed rather than facing external turmoil.
If I wake up and the sky was red
Reacting casually to ominous signs in the sky, dismissing their significance.
I'd just say that it has started again
Accepting the cyclical nature of crises without significant concern.
If I could run away in my dreams
Reiterating the desire to escape reality through dreams.
I don't think that I would ever leave
Stating a persistent preference for the dream world over reality.
It's always punches and losing teeth
Acknowledging life's difficulties, including physical and metaphorical struggles.
But you'll never beat reality
Reinforcing the challenges of dealing with reality and its inevitable hardships.
Even when the world starts to end
Repeating the theme of indifference even as the world faces impending doom.
I don't think that I would leave my bed
Maintaining a reluctance to engage with the external world during crises.
If I wake up and the sky was red
Imagining waking up to alarming signs but choosing not to react significantly.
I'd just say that it has started again
Accepting the recurrence of negative events with minimal emotional response.
If I could run away in my dreams
Expressing a persistent desire to escape reality through dreams.
I don't think that I would ever leave
Affirming a strong inclination to stay within the dream world rather than confront reality.
It's always punches and losing teeth
Acknowledging life's challenges, including physical and metaphorical struggles, once again.
But you'll never beat reality
Reiterating the difficulty of overcoming the harsh realities of life.
