Sunrise
A Journey Through Apocalyptic Longing
Lyrics
I watch the sunrise on the apocalypse plains
Observing the sunrise amidst a post-apocalyptic landscape
And I'll do it over and over again
Expressing a repetitive act of witnessing the sunrise under dire circumstances
If you want, I'll come back to get you
Offering to return for someone, possibly to share the experience
Trudge through amber fields in the toxic rain
Navigating through fields tainted by toxic rain, symbolizing hardship
What I want is on an untouchable planet
Desiring something unattainable, perhaps representing unfulfilled aspirations
A tangible plan, if only it were
Yearning for a feasible plan, acknowledging the difficulty of achieving it
I watch the snow fall and roll back over in anguish
Contemplating the beauty of falling snow while feeling inner distress
Feel the flakes beat one by one on my head
Experiencing the sensation of snowflakes hitting the head one by one
Go for a long walk and then a swim in the ocean
Engaging in activities like walking and swimming as a form of coping
Use calamine lotion to soothe my chemical rash
Using calamine lotion to alleviate the effects of a metaphorical chemical rash
If you look close, you'll see parasitic invasions
Noticing the intrusion of parasitic elements upon close inspection
Pulsing odd shapes on my retinal lens
Perceiving unusual shapes on the visual receptors, indicating disturbance
I blink a few times to disappear the disturbance
Blinking to erase the perceived disturbance from vision
Rub my eyes and step out in the street
Rubbing eyes and stepping outside, possibly indicating a transition
The air is heavy with the smell of sulfur
Noting a polluted atmosphere with a sulfuric smell, suggesting a harsh environment
But I get by with your sterile kiss on my cheek
Finding solace in a sterile kiss amid a challenging atmosphere
Gasoline and the chemical sky
Referring to the presence of gasoline and a sky tainted by chemicals
I inhale deeply as you look in my eyes
Inhaling deeply while making eye contact, possibly sharing a moment of resilience
Gasoline and the chemical sky
Reiteration of the chemical-laden sky and its impact on the narrator
I inhale deeply and the fumes get me high
Inhaling deeply, possibly embracing the intoxicating aspects of the environment
