Lyrics

We wave bye, bye to the city

We say goodbye to the city

Its rarity and energy

We appreciate its uniqueness and vitality

From the East is how we'll come

We'll arrive from the Eastern direction

Just like the sun as it breaks the canopy

Comparing our arrival to the sun breaking through the canopy, signifying emergence or arrival


The weaponry, ideas, flames and reverie

Various tools, concepts, intense emotions, and daydreams

For when the rays cut through the car, with no one

When sunlight penetrates the car, leaving a feeling or impression without any individual present

Just a sense of something

A vague awareness or intuition


All the way

We're going all the way, proceeding fully

We're okay

Reassuring ourselves that everything is fine

Safe and sound

Feeling secure and unharmed

Far from home

We are far away from our usual place of residence


The south is where we'll be

We'll be in the southern region

Unfamiliar and free

In a place that is unfamiliar and liberating

In the west is where we'll rise

We'll thrive in the western direction

Just like the smoke as it starts to hurt our eyes

Comparing our ascent to smoke stinging our eyes, possibly symbolizing challenges along the way


The weaponry, their wings dear of third degree

References to weaponry and the pain of wounds, suggesting a struggle

Can't forget what they don't know, so far below

People are unaware of things they don't understand, implying a sense of distance from their perceptions

They think we got harder

Others perceive us as becoming tougher or more resilient


World away

We are distant, far away

We're okay

Reiteration that everything is fine, feeling secure

Safe and sound

Safe and protected in our current state of being away from home

Far from home

Similar to line 13, emphasizing being far from home


All the way

Continuing on our journey without problems

We're okay

Reiteration that everything is fine

Safe and sound

Reaffirmation of safety and well-being away from home

Far from home

Similar to lines 13 and 27, highlighting being far from home
