Lyrics
Is there more than meets the eye
Questioning if there's a deeper reality beyond what is initially visible or apparent
In the world we live in?
Asking about the existence of hidden aspects within our environment or society
Beneath the street at night
Suggesting there might be something significant below the surface, possibly hinting at secrets or unknown elements during nighttime
Do you know what's breathing?
Posing a question about awareness regarding hidden or concealed entities or forces
I know we're better than this endless fighting
Expressing a belief that conflicts and disputes can be resolved in a better way
And we're caught up in a
Describing a situation where individuals are stuck in a repetitive pattern or cycle
Caught up in a
-Caught up in a loop
-Faded dreams and battle scars
Referring to experiences of past failures or struggles
Behind the curtain only if you knew
Suggesting that there's more to be seen or understood if one could access hidden information or behind-the-scenes realities
And they'll sleep fine tonight
Highlighting the contrast between people's indifference to chaos and turmoil in the world while they remain unaffected
While the world outside ignites
-And they don't bat an eye
-While the world outside unites
-Is there more than meets the eye
Reiterating the idea of hidden or obscured truths within the speaker's immediate surroundings
In the town you live in?
-What's that behind your door
-There's something creeping
Implies a sense of unease or suspicion about something lurking nearby or hidden from plain sight
I'm not gonna give another reason
Asserting a refusal to offer further justification for standing firm on a decision despite potential consequences, emphasizing unity and solidarity
Why I put my foot down
-And I'll never comply
-You know I'd rather hold your hand
-And stand together even if we die
-And they'll sleep fine tonight
Reiterating the contrast between people's detachment from worldly chaos despite its intensification
While the world outside ignites
-And they don't bat an eye
-While the world outside unites
-Do you think that you could handle?
Posing introspective questions about self-awareness, control, and acknowledging the truth about one's circumstances
Do you wanna know the truth?
-Do you ever wonder who's really in control of you?
-Do you think you're in denial?
-Will you take a look around?
-If you open up your eyes now
Encouraging acknowledgment of the crumbling or deteriorating state of affairs when one finally perceives the reality
Everything is crumbling down
-If you see, you believe it
Conveying a series of conditional statements highlighting the consequences of one's actions and the power dynamics related to possession, belief, and denial
If you know it, you can hold it
-If you want it, you can have it
-If you need it, how convenient
-If you break it, you can buy it
-If you tear it, you can tie it
-If you own it, you can hide it
-If you love it, don't deny it
-Illusion
Suggesting that the perceived reality might not be as it seems, hinting at deception or misrepresentation
