Lyrics
When will we fall down
Expressing anticipation or questioning when a downfall will occur.
And burn at the alter
Referring to burning figuratively at the altar, possibly symbolizing sacrifice or intense emotional experiences.
And our feet will falter
Suggesting instability or hesitation in our steps.
I'm alternating from
Switching between states of being, possibly reflecting internal conflict.
My being underground
Being in a state of concealment or obscurity.
It's our new beginning
Describing a fresh start or a new phase.
The losers are winning
Paradoxically, those considered losers are achieving success.
It's alternating oh this time
Continuing the theme of alternation and change, possibly in a specific time frame.
This time around
Emphasizing the current moment or situation.
I think we fell down
Reflecting on a past event of falling down.
When we were brought here
Recalling the time when brought into a particular circumstance.
Don't know why I thought that we
Expressing uncertainty or disbelief in the possibility of a positive outcome.
Could ever be
Questioning the feasibility of achieving peace.
At peace
Realizing that peace is not achievable in the current situation.
Now I know we're out
Confirming the realization that the speaker is no longer part of a particular state or condition.
I can't think of a reason
Struggling to find a reason to remain in a situation.
That I needa be way
Feeling a need to be distant or separated.
I thought I'd stay
Initial intention to stay in a situation but reconsidering.
But Oh
An exclamation indicating a change in decision or departure.
I'm out
Reaffirming the decision to leave or be "out."
When will we know doubt
Raising a question about the timing of experiencing doubt.
Maybe when we're older
Suggesting doubt may come with age or experience.
When our legs can't hold us
When physical strength diminishes, doubt may arise.
Then it could be we'll hold the weight of
Speculating on the possibility of bearing the weight of one's own words or actions.
Our own mouths
Highlighting the importance of keeping promises.
And keep to a promise
Acknowledging personal responsibility for one's actions.
And that'll be on us
Emphasizing that accountability rests on the individual.
Then I can keep to what I say
Expressing a commitment to one's words or promises.
I know we fell down
Reiteration of a past fall, reinforcing the theme of repeated experiences.
When we were brought here
Recalling the circumstances of being brought into a certain situation.
I know that I thought that we
Believing in the possibility of achieving peace this time.
Could finally be
Expressing hope for a positive outcome.
At peace
Realizing that achieving peace remains elusive.
But now I know we're out
Confirming the decision to be out of the situation.
Couldn't think of a reason
Struggling to find a compelling reason to stay in the current state.
I needed to be this way
Recognizing the need to be in a different way or state.
I thought I'd stay
Reconsidering the initial intention to stay.
But Oh
An exclamation affirming the decision to be out.
I'm out
Reiteration of the final decision to be out.
Oh I'm out
Additional emphasis on being out, possibly expressing relief or resolution.
Oh I'm out
Repeating the affirmation of being out, concluding the lyrics.
