Lyrics
The tail lights on the freeway pass me by yeah they're all the same
The continuous movement of cars' tail lights on the freeway appears identical.
Reds and yellows blur together making trails down the lane
Reds and yellows blend, forming streaks along the road.
Disciplined and organized close my eyes to the illusion
Choosing to ignore the false perception of order and control.
Burning for the reasons but the answers are so far away
Passion exists, but the solutions remain elusive and distant.
So far away
Emphasizing the vast distance or disconnect from resolution.
Put the water under glass look in tell me what you see
Examining something closely, seeking perception beyond the surface.
Worlds within worlds without end isn't what it seems
Realizing complexities exist beyond immediate perception.
The more we seek the less we know the smaller our dot becomes
The more one searches for understanding, the more insignificant they feel.
Just counting down the years until the burnout of the sun
Awaiting the inevitable demise of the sun, marking time's passing.
Of the sun
Reiterating the inescapable nature of the sun's eventual fate.
The fire will not burn
Symbolically stating that certain elemental forces won’t function.
The water will not fall
Elements like fire seem to lose their usual characteristics.
The earth will not grow
Expressing the stagnancy or cessation of growth within Earth.
We are the last ones
Implying being the final surviving individuals of a species or era.
The air will go cold
Anticipating the chilling of the air, suggesting a global cooling.
The oceans will still
The oceans will cease their motion or activity.
The heavens will go dark
Portraying the end of celestial brilliance or guidance.
We are the last ones
Reaffirming the status of being the final remnants of existence.
Staring at the sky with wonder in my eyes while the colors play
Observing the sky with a sense of amazement as colors interact.
Breathe the smoke and contemplate the purpose of what they say
Inhaling smoke, contemplating the significance of spoken words.
Wave after wave of generations live and die for no reason
Reflecting on the aimless cycle of human life and death.
I think this might be just a dream that doesn't matter anyway
Suggesting life might be an inconsequential, meaningless dream.
Anyway
Reinforcing the insignificance of a situation or state of being.
The fire will not burn
Reiterating the altered state of elemental forces.
The water will not fall
Continuing the theme of elemental dysfunction or cessation.
The earth will not grow
Describing the halting of Earth's ability to sustain life.
We are the last ones
Confirming the last survivors in a bleak scenario.
The air will go cold
Projecting a future where the atmosphere becomes cold and inhospitable.
The oceans will still
Depicting the stilling or cessation of oceanic movement.
The heavens will go dark
Symbolizing the loss of light and guidance from the heavens.
We are the last ones
Reaffirming the status of being the last survivors in a desolate setting.
