Heaven and Endless: A Melodic Tale of Sacrifice and Survival
Lyrics
Something's familiar to me
Expressing recognition or familiarity with something.
They don't have to know
Keeping a secret or hiding certain information.
Swift and contained and caught up in life so you never can land
Describing a fast-paced and intense life without a stable landing.
Your genius/beauty it hits me like dirt in the face and you can't understand
Being deeply affected by someone's brilliance or beauty, but the person doesn't comprehend the impact.
All I have ever wanted was just to be able to stand on my own
Expressing a desire for independence and self-sufficiency.
You save all your problems for me, they don't have to know
Shouldering someone else's problems in secret.
We can hide in the hilltops and graves, they don't have to know
Suggesting a desire to hide and escape from problems.
You come here on your own with cancers and perfume
Describing a person arriving with challenges (cancers) and allure (perfume).
And five o'clock in the afternoon is heaven and endless
Highlighting a specific time (five o'clock in the afternoon) as a state of bliss and endlessness.
Cursed and betrayed and forced to be strong on these hard iron wings
Feeling cursed and betrayed but forced to be strong with metaphorical iron wings.
Wizards and scientists left on their own shouldn't play with these things
Warning against the dangers when certain individuals, like wizards and scientists, experiment alone.
Now we are running away and who knows what the future will bring, on our own
Running away from challenges, uncertain about the future, and relying on oneself.
We are left to survive on our own.
Emphasizing the need to survive independently.
And the mausoleums perched so high above the city can be fun in the right amount of sun
Describing mausoleums above the city as enjoyable in the right conditions.
And a certain amount of technology has pricked your curiosity
Pointing out the fascination with technology.
And a certain amount of persecution has curiously invaded your mind
Noting the impact of persecution on the mind.
And I tried to be the hero but I screwed it all up in the end
Reflecting on a failed attempt to be a hero in the midst of global war.
And now we're in the midst of this whole great global war
Indicating the chaotic state of the world.
When five o'clock in the afternoon is heaven and endless
Reiterating the significance of five o'clock in the afternoon as heavenly and endless.
They won't come here for me
Expressing a belief that others won't come to the speaker.
I covered up everything so carefully
Covering up details carefully to avoid detection.
They got exactly what they deserved
Believing that others received deserved consequences while feeling guilty oneself.
All I get is this guilt
Expressing the speaker's guilt despite others facing consequences.
I have sacrificed everything and now I am cursed by these iron wings
Having sacrificed everything and feeling cursed, but finding solace in not being alone.
But at least I am not alone
Finding companionship in the midst of adversity.
While I watch the city burn below
Observing the destruction of the city while being cursed with iron wings.
Something's familiar to me
Reiterating a sense of familiarity.
They don't have to know
Repeating the theme of keeping things hidden.
