Lyrics
There's a storm on the horizon
Anticipation of trouble or difficulty in the future.
And for that I can't see the sun
Unable to see positivity or light in the situation.
For I'll keep a waiting on the pavement
Waiting patiently on the street for a simple pleasure or distraction.
For the ice-cream van to come
Symbolic longing for a source of joy (ice-cream van) amid challenges.
Its die hard hate to follow
A strong, persistent dislike that is challenging to overcome.
And I'll not follow that
Choosing not to succumb to intense negative feelings.
The marching people running round my head
Mental imagery of chaotic thoughts or influences.
Running round my head I don't know why
Confusion or frustration about thoughts running in the mind.
Why can't we see
Questioning the inability to perceive the truth or reality.
Straight through the powers that be
Expressing a desire to see beyond the control of authoritative figures.
Who keep us breaking each others hearts
Blaming those in power for causing emotional pain and strife.
And keeping us apart, keeping us apart
Highlighting the impact of authority on relationships, creating distance.
Destroying the ground where gruesome lays
Referring to the destruction of a peaceful foundation or environment.
Sectarianism and the hurtful racist ways
Addressing divisive attitudes and harmful prejudices.
Bring back the glory days
Yearning for a return to better times in society.
Active citizenship
Encouraging active participation in societal affairs.
And pure community
Advocating for a united and untainted local community.
Freedom of faith
Emphasizing the importance of religious freedom.
There's a storm on the horizon
Reiteration of the impending trouble or challenge.
