Face of an Upside Down Moon
Faces of a Twisted World: John T. Wurzer's Upside Down Moon
Lyrics
People are getting weirder
Observation that people's behaviors are becoming more unusual or unconventional.
Faces keep getting colder
Continued observation of a trend where people seem less warm or friendly.
My heart aches from all the fear here
Expressing emotional pain caused by the prevalent fear in society.
My joints ache from getting older
Physical discomfort due to aging, possibly indicating a sense of vulnerability.
Walked out this morning; saw the face of the moon turned upside down.
Visual description of seeing the moon's face altered, reflecting an abnormal or disconcerting sight.
Eyes on the bottom and its shit eating grin turned into a frown.
Further description of the moon's changed appearance, depicting a shift from a pleasant expression to a frown, implying a negative change.
Nostrils drowning in buckets of rain, eyelids coated with ancient dust
Imagery of rain and dust on the moon's features, symbolizing a deterioration or decay.
Sinking swiftly into the horizon, beyond a windmill, with nobody to trust
Feeling of isolation and distrust, emphasized by the moon sinking beyond familiar landmarks.
People are getting weirder
Reiteration of the initial observations about people's behavior, emotional distress, and physical discomfort.
Faces keep getting colder
-My heart aches from all the fear here
-My joints ache from getting older
-I kept on walking and saw the face of a clock turned upside down
Encountering a clock's face inverted, representing a disruption in the expected or normal passage of time.
Instead of 6 a.m. it was half past noon at the courthouse in the center of town
Time discrepancy - instead of morning, it's midday, highlighting a disorienting shift from the usual routine.
I missed breakfast at Melinda's café, I had to settle for a cup of Joe
Mention of missed opportunities and settling for less, implying a sense of dissatisfaction or compromise.
A side of chips, a BLT, an ice cream soda and no place for me to go
Lack of direction or purpose, emphasized by having nowhere to go despite consuming basic comforts.
People are getting weirder
Repeated sentiments of societal changes, emotional distress, and physical discomfort.
Faces keep getting colder
-My heart aches from all the fear here
-My joints ache from getting older
-So I stepped outside and saw the face of humanity upside down
Observing a distorted portrayal of humanity, emphasizing a significant departure from normalcy.
Instead of loving each other we were spewing hatred and blood all over the ground
Conflict and violence replacing love and harmony among people, resulting in a disturbing and chaotic scene.
Rubber bullets and tear gas were flying, cops and robbers and pacifists died
Depiction of escalating conflict with the use of force and casualties, showcasing societal turmoil.
Black and white never seem to disappear; a cacophony of vengeance and fear on both sides
Highlighting the persistence of racial tension and conflict, showcasing a cycle of revenge and fear from all perspectives.
People are getting weirder
Repeated expressions of concern about societal changes, emotional distress, and physical discomfort.
Faces keep getting colder
-My heart aches from all the fear here
-My joints ache from getting older
