Welcome To Hell
Apocalyptic Echoes: Welcome to Hell by Joe Newhouse
Lyrics
It's all over
Expressing a sense of finality or conclusion.
The clocks strike 12
Indicating a specific moment in time, possibly symbolic of a significant event.
But only the eyes in the sky can tell
Suggesting an awareness of events from a distant or higher perspective.
Whats happening out there
Questioning the understanding of ongoing events.
It's getting harder
Describing an increasing difficulty or struggle.
Getting harder to breathe
Highlighting the physical challenge of breathing, possibly under duress.
As the ash fills my lungs as it blows in the breeze
Portraying a hazardous environment with ash, emphasizing a lack of concern from others.
Does nobody care
Expressing a feeling of neglect or indifference from those around.
We are only
Emphasizing a sense of proximity or intimacy.
Only too close to tell
Stating the challenge of determining the severity of a situation.
Only too far to yell
Highlighting the difficulty of communication in extreme circumstances.
Welcome to hell
Declaring the arrival or realization of a distressing situation, possibly metaphorical for a difficult experience.
I see my bones
Observing one's own vulnerability or mortality.
I see my bones through my hands
Expressing transparency or a lack of protection.
I see it over and over again
Repeating a distressing experience or pattern.
Shells raining down
Depicting a violent and destructive situation.
I'm going blind
Describing sensory deprivation, possibly metaphorical for a loss of understanding.
So I'll feel for your face
Seeking connection or comfort in a dire situation.
We cry "goodbye to the human race"
Announcing a collective farewell to humanity.
Clouds over the town
Portraying a dark and ominous atmosphere.
We are only
Reiterating a sense of proximity or connection.
Only too close to tell
Expressing the challenge of assessing a critical situation.
Only too far to yell
Reiterating the difficulty of communication in extreme circumstances.
Welcome to hell
Repeating the declaration of entering a distressing situation.
We are only
Emphasizing the youthfulness and vulnerability of those involved.
Only too young to go
Pondering the extent of knowledge or awareness in a challenging situation.
How much should we know
Reiterating the acknowledgment of entering a distressing situation.
Welcome to hell
Repeating the declaration of entering a distressing situation.
We are only
Emphasizing the youthfulness and vulnerability of those involved.
Only too close to tell
Reiterating the challenge of assessing a critical situation.
Only too far to yell
Reiterating the difficulty of communication in extreme circumstances.
Welcome to hell
Repeating the declaration of entering a distressing situation.
We are only
Emphasizing the youthfulness and vulnerability of those involved.
Only too young to go
Pondering the extent of knowledge or awareness in a challenging situation.
How much should we know
Reiterating the acknowledgment of entering a distressing situation.
Welcome to hell
Repeating the declaration of entering a distressing situation.
To hell, to hell, to hell
Concluding with a repetition of the theme, reinforcing the bleak reality.
