Last Bus
Navigating Urban Desolation: The Last Bus Chronicles
Lyrics
Whats the craic? nothing much, when you've missed the Last Bus
Expressing the disappointment of missing the last bus, using "craic" (Irish slang for fun or entertainment).
Whats the craic? nothing much, when you've missed the Last Bus
-Whats the craic? nothing much, when you've missed the Last Bus
-Whats the craic? nothing much, when you've missed the Last Bus
-Look around and it's evident
Observing the evident decline or deterioration of the surroundings.
Yeah we're living in a place turning desolate
Reflecting on the remnants of a once-relevant place that is now desolate and irrelevant.
Living through this phase it's the remnants
-Of a place once made now irrelevant, yeah
-Fuck sake
An expression of frustration or disbelief.
Scabbed smokes half yokes now we're left with
Describing the aftermath of indulging in substances, leading to the degradation of places.
Places once with a presence now leveled shit
-What's to do what's new need development
Questioning the need for development and witnessing the nightlife being negatively impacted.
As we watch night life getting sucked down the drain
-Life's life, night's bright now kept in a frame
Reflecting on the change and decline in the quality of life, expressing a sense of loss and disappointment.
They say there's plenty to do, but it just ain't the same
-What a shame it's became, seems it's blown out the flame
-But people standing together, sparks the hope that we need
Finding hope in people standing together despite the challenges posed by carelessness and greed.
Living in this empty place, run by carelessness and greed
-Answers ain't on Harcourt Street, and they never will be
Rejecting the notion that solutions are found in certain places and emphasizing the importance of wisdom.
Like the words of a wise man, ever you see
-Talk of emigration got my stomach feeling sick
Expressing discomfort with the idea of emigration, acknowledging the burden passed through generations.
Generation after generation burdened with this
-No options left for the youth, but there's plenty to miss
-Cause the memory's still there, but it's still an abyss
-Like the road ahead's dark, and we've had just enough
Using metaphorical imagery to convey a sense of darkness and reliance on hope and love.
It's like the people do be silenced by the powers above
-All we're living on is hope, and the glue is the love
-Whats the craic? nothing much when you've missed the Last Bus
Repeating the frustration of missing the last bus, using it as a metaphor for missed opportunities.
Whats the craic? nothing much when you've missed the Last Bus
-Whats the craic? nothing much when you've missed the Last Bus
-Whats the craic? nothing much when you've missed the Last Bus
-Just another night, and it's half past three
Describing a lonely night, feeling the chill, and experiencing a dead city atmosphere.
Walking down the quays and you feel the light breeze
-And the atmosphere is suitable, feel like you could freeze
-Feeling all alone you can't rest your mind at ease
-Because the city's dead, and the buzz is dying with it
Expressing a desire for change, hope for a different day, and observing the current gray, ridden state of the place.
Through the smokey air we neglect the truth it's hidden
-Truly hoping that we'll see a day that is different
-All we're seeing now is the grey, place is ridden
-Smoking areas, club queues all I'm hearing is
Noting the repetition of the same stories, the difficulty of improvement, and the worsening situation.
Same story all the time, any craic? rarely is
-And we live, through this shit, getting better, barely is
-And to think it's getting worse, terrifying, scary kids
-No options there for the people trying to help the sitch
Highlighting the lack of options for those trying to help and the struggles of balancing in a difficult situation.
The wealth, the rich, the people really messing shit
-People scrounging trying to find a balance to get by with
-Whats the craic? nothing much yo this place is fucked up
Summarizing the negative state of the place, the deprivation felt despite working, and the absence of life.
Listen up, let me tell you what it's like
-Working nine to five and you still feel deprived
-Cause round here, no life, through the day, and the night
Emphasizing the historical struggles for freedom but noting the current lack of light.
And despite, yeah our history, freedoms not alight, and look
-To be honest yo our minds are growing up
Noting the growth of minds, having just enough, and taking a stand in tough situations.
People having just enough, taking stands when shit is tough
-And it's beautiful to see the people uniting together
Appreciating the beauty of people uniting despite challenges.
But still no craic, when you've missed the Last Bus
Reiterating the disappointment of missing the last bus and expressing a lack of fun or enjoyment.
What's the craic? nothing much, when you've missed the Last Bus
-Whats the craic? nothing much when you've missed the Last Bus
-Whats the craic? nothing much when you've missed the Last Bus
-Whats the craic? nothing much when you've missed the Last Bus
