Blast Damage Days
Embracing Halcyon Days Amidst Chaos
Lyrics
Whenever days slip away and every moment with me
Reflecting on the passage of time, feeling disconnected from the present.
Feels like I'm floating in space
Experiencing a sense of weightlessness or detachment in life.
Because I want to believe these are my halcyon days
Desiring to believe that the current moments are the best times (halcyon days).
But I'm afraid of my age and don't know anyone's name
Fearful of aging and the uncertainty that comes with it.
Because I can't concentrate
Struggling to focus or concentrate on the present.
Oh, I am never letting go of you
Expressing a commitment to holding onto someone or something.
Whenever weeks slip away from being caught
Feeling time slipping away, possibly in the context of societal pressures.
In the wake of the American craze, the overtime, underpaid
Referencing the intense and demanding nature of American culture.
These are the Amazon days, we are the binge watching age
Describing the contemporary era as dominated by consumerism and media consumption.
And we'll be stuck in a screen until our phones fall asleep
Suggesting dependence on screens and technology until exhaustion.
I am never letting go of you
Reiterating the commitment to not letting go despite challenges.
We'll get lost and wander off distracted by fake news
Getting distracted by misinformation or irrelevant news.
When our towns fall to the ground it won't shatter me
Remaining resilient despite societal challenges.
And you and when we're looking around at all the shit that went down
Reflecting on the aftermath of challenges, possibly societal or personal.
'Cause half of us were too scared and half of us were too proud to see
Noting the division in society, with some being fearful and others proud.
The systems we start are destined to fall apart
Highlighting the inevitable failure of systems when corrupted by power and greed.
When we let power and greed corrupt our collective heart
Commenting on the corrupting influence of power and greed on collective values.
Oh, I am never letting go of you
Reaffirming the commitment to staying connected despite challenges.
We'll get lost and wander off enraptured by fake doom
Getting distracted by exaggerated or false threats.
When our towns fall to the ground, oh, it won't shatter me and you
Remaining resilient in the face of challenges and adversity.
Whenever we feel ashamed being alive and awake in such an era of hate and military police
Feeling shame about living in an era marked by hatred and military presence.
These are the mass murder days
Describing the current times as marked by widespread violence and mass murder.
We are the blast damage age where we can't love anything because they keep us afraid
Portraying a generation damaged by the impact of violent events, making it hard to love anything.
Oh, I will be there kicking, fighting, beating, screaming
Expressing a determination to resist and fight against the negative influences.
"There's no fucking way I'm ever letting go of you"
Emphatically stating the refusal to let go despite challenges.
