Lyrics
Please take shelter and keep your head down
Advising to find protection and stay low to avoid danger
Don't trust no one, don't make a sound
Warning not to trust anyone and maintain silence
Oooh, it's coming
Anticipation of something approaching or imminent
Ooh, it's time
Emphasizing that a significant moment or event is near
Whose gonna be the first
Pose a question about who will take the first step beyond a certain limit or boundary
To cross the line
Asking who will be the first to defy a rule or cross a boundary
Oh, the fire's burning and the night is red
Describing a scene with fire and danger, possibly chaos
People are choking, holding back the Dead
People struggling, possibly against a threat or crisis
There's a solution
Suggesting a solution to a problem introduced earlier
Heavy pollution brings the dawn
Connecting pollution to the arrival of a new day
Please take shelter and keep your head down
Repeating the advice to seek shelter and remain cautious
Don't trust no one, don't make a sound
Reiterating the importance of not trusting others and staying quiet
Please take shelter and keep your head down
Repetition for emphasis on seeking shelter and maintaining silence
Don't trust no one, don't make a sound
Repeating the warning against trust and noise
No reason for panic
Stating there is no need for panic as others face the danger
It's them instead
Implying that others will face the consequences instead
Rumors catch fire
Highlighting the spread of rumors and mistrust
When everyone's a liar
Linking rumors to deception in a community
We make our escape, when the shootings (pause)
Planning an escape during a disturbance, referencing shootings
Takes just what he needs, one more (for the cause)
Someone taking what they need for a cause during chaos
So it's us and them
Creating a division between "us" and "them"
They'd have you believe
Suggesting a deceptive perspective from the other side
There's no difference in the colors
Challenging the idea that there is no difference between people
That we bleed
Emphasizing the commonality of humanity through shared experiences
Divide and conquer
Describing a strategy of dividing and conquering
So the saying goes
Quoting a saying about confiding leading to slaughter
Confide and slaughter
Describing a dangerous cycle of trust leading to betrayal and violence
Where it ends you know
Speculating on the uncertain outcome of a destructive path
Please take shelter and keep your head down
Repeating the call for seeking shelter and maintaining caution
Don't trust no one, don't make a sound
Reiterating the warning against trust and noise
Please take shelter and keep your head down
Repeating the advice for safety and silence
Don't trust no one, don't make a sound
Reiterating the caution against trusting others and making noise
So I'm taking those precious to me
Expressing the speaker's action of protecting loved ones
To higher ground and safety
Moving loved ones to a safer place
Wait for the dawn and the days promised peace
Waiting for a promised peaceful resolution at dawn
It's the end of the beginning as the riots release
Signaling a significant change as riots break out
Please take shelter and keep your head down
Repeating the call for seeking shelter and maintaining caution
Don't trust no one don't make a sound
Reiterating the warning against trust and noise
