Strange Days
Navigating Chaos: Glenn Cannon's Reflection on Turbulent Realities
Lyrics
Take a look out the window babe, the world is burning down
Observation of the world in chaos and turmoil
A thousand people in the streets, and they marching to the sound
Large gatherings of people protesting or rallying
Live in fear of the very air you breathe... you know it's...
Fearful existence due to environmental concerns
Strange Days
Reference to the unusual or unsettling nature of current times
Kings court filled with the poor, wealthy jokers wear the crowns
Contrast between the ruling elite and the impoverished
Everyone has a voice now, mostly used to tear you down
Abuse of freedom of speech leading to criticism and negativity
Panic swims with confusion and abuse...you know it's strange...
Overwhelming emotions of panic and confusion
How did we get here my love? How did we get here?
Questioning how society reached its current state
Your future world is a hell my love, filled up with hatred and fear
Fearful prediction of a future filled with animosity and dread
You better hide your love away...Be very careful what you say...
Cautioning against expressing affection openly due to risks
...Just lock yourself inside your home...because it's...
Encouragement to isolate oneself due to the unsettling circumstances
Strange Days
Reiteration of the abnormal and perplexing nature of the times
You can say what you like when no one looks you in the eye
Freedom to express opinions without facing consequences
Arrogance and ignorance rule the day, and no one stops to question why
Notion of arrogance and ignorance prevailing without scrutiny
Shallow life inside a tiny glass square... well it's just strange
Life confined within the confines of technology, representing a bizarre reality
How did we get here my love?
Reiteration of the query regarding the current societal state
