The Day
Dancing Amid Destruction: K's Choice Reflects on Choices and Consequences
Lyrics
There must be something more
Expressing a desire for something beyond material possessions.
I can't buy in the store
Highlighting the inadequacy of finding fulfillment through purchasing.
And I cannot ignore the resemblance
Acknowledging a connection or similarity that cannot be ignored.
With the tune I have heard
Referring to a familiar melody or song in the dream.
In a dream that referred to a beautiful world
Recalling a dream that portrayed an ideal, beautiful world.
In which everyone wins, ooh
Describing the dream world where everyone is a winner.
Surprise surprise, bright light into my eyes
Expressing surprise at a sudden bright light.
And in the red sky i saw angels fly by
Observing angels in the sky during a profound moment.
And the angel of death standing next to me said
Introducing the presence of the angel of death and a foreboding message.
Now there's only one thing left to do for you
Indicating a singular remaining course of action.
Sing with me, ooooooh
Inviting the listener to join in singing.
And they danced and they drank and they thought it was love
Describing celebratory actions, including dancing and drinking.
And they prayed and they thanked the great Lord up above
Expressing gratitude and praise to a higher power.
For the money he gave them the sex and the booze
Listing materialistic rewards like money, sex, and alcohol.
The American dream in which no one can lose
Referencing the concept of the American dream where success is assured.
And they didn't stop singing with tears in their eyes
Continuing the narrative of singing with tears and indulgence.
Their mouths filled with chocolate and strawberry pies
Depicting mouths filled with decadent desserts.
They were all so excited, they were all very dumb
Describing the excitement and foolishness of the participants.
They had chosen to party the day they dropped the bomb
Revealing the choice to celebrate on a catastrophic day.
They dropped the bomb
Reiterating the catastrophic event of dropping a bomb.
And they danced and they drank and they thought it was love
Repeating the description of celebratory actions and love.
And they prayed and they thanked the great Lord up above
Reiterating gratitude and thanks to a higher power.
For the money he gave them the sex and the boobs
Changing the reward to include physical attributes like boobs.
The American dream in which no one can lose
Restating the American dream theme of guaranteed success.
And they didn't stop singing with tears in their eyes
Continuing the narrative of singing with tears and indulgence.
Their mouths filled with chocolate and strawberry pies
Depicting mouths filled with decadent desserts, echoing earlier lines.
They were all so excited, they were all very dumb
Reiterating the excitement and foolishness of the participants.
They had chosen to party the day they dropped the bomb
Reemphasizing the choice to celebrate on a catastrophic day.
They dropped the bomb
Concluding with the repetition of the catastrophic event of dropping a bomb.
