Lyrics
We're given a garden
We were given something precious, symbolized as a garden
And gave back a parking lot
We transformed it into something less valuable, a parking lot
We got about fifteen minutes to go
About fifteen minutes remain before a critical moment
Before this audience
An audience is present, and there's a sense of impending judgment
Starts throwing tomatoes, yeah
The audience may react negatively, likened to throwing tomatoes
It's not the end, there is more show
Despite challenges, it's not the end, there's more to come
We got about fifteen minutes to go
Fifteen minutes remain to face the challenges ahead
Survived the plague, floated the flood
Survived difficulties, metaphorically a plague and flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud
Emerged from a challenging situation
No one's immune, deafening bells
No one is immune to challenges, symbolized by deafening bells
My God, will we survive ourselves?
The concern about whether humanity can survive its own actions
I'm not an alarmist
The narrator is not alarmist but recognizes the need for attention
But someone should break the glass
Suggesting breaking the glass as a metaphorical alarm
And pull that red T-lever down
Activating a symbolic emergency lever to draw attention
To get their attention
Advocating for a strong response to capture attention
Start lobbing the light grenades
Proposing the use of truth as a powerful weapon
That burst and blind them with the truth
Suggesting the use of light grenades to reveal the truth
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Emphasizing a balanced response, equal retaliation
Survived the plague, floated the flood
Reiteration of surviving challenges, plague, and flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud
A reminder of emerging from difficult times
No one's immune, deafening bells
No one is immune to challenges, reiterated by deafening bells
My God, will we survive ourselves?
The existential question of whether humanity can overcome itself
Survived the plague, floated the flood
Reiteration of surviving challenges, plague, and flood
Just peeked out heads above the mud
Re-emphasizing the act of overcoming adversity
Wipe off your face, we've come this far
Cleaning up and moving forward after facing challenges
Come on, remember who you are
A call to remember one's identity and origins
Survived the plague, floated the flood
Reiteration of surviving challenges, plague, and flood
Just peeked our heads above the mud
Reminding of the resilience shown in emerging from mud
No one's immune, deafening bells
No one is immune to challenges, symbolized by deafening bells
My God
An exclamation of realization or concern
Survived the plague, floated the flood
Reiteration of surviving challenges, plague, and flood
Just peeked out heads above the mud
Re-emphasizing the act of overcoming adversity
Wipe off your face, we've come this far
Cleaning up and moving forward after facing challenges
Come on, remember who you are
A repetition of the call to remember one's identity
Come on, remember who you are
A continued emphasis on recalling one's true self
Come on, remember who you are
A repetition of the call to remember one's identity
Remember, remember
An additional emphasis on the act of remembering
Come on, remember who you are
A repeated call to remember one's identity
Remember, remember
An additional emphasis on the act of remembering
Come on, remember who you are
A final call to recall and recognize one's true self
