Pueblo Cicada
City's Last Dance: A Tale of Shadows and Sound
Lyrics
I try to wrap my brain around this
I attempt to understand and make sense of this
the very fact that this could be the end
The undeniable reality that this could mark the conclusion
staggering man, you could ruin everything, if you only knew the dance, yeah
Astonishing, you have the potential to destroy everything if you knew the dance; expressing a sense of power or influence
we try to pick up all the pieces of our city
We strive to recover the fragments of our city
but you just turn away, in the blaze of grey.
However, you choose to turn away, amidst the chaos or destruction
clearly i could see you giving up
It's evident that you're giving up
and kills me to watch you turn your face on us
It pains me to witness you turning your back on us
you just turned away
You simply avert your gaze
you looked back
You looked back
but you were never the same
Yet, you were fundamentally changed
'cause you step back when you had the chance to leave
Because you retreated when you had the opportunity to leave
but you still blame us like we did this
Nevertheless, you attribute blame to us as if we caused this
but you did cause our town has fallen under the sound
But you did contribute, as our town succumbed to a negative influence or force
and i can't stand to watch you turn away
I cannot bear to witness you turning away
and clearly i could see right where you are
Clearly, I can see exactly where you stand
systems disarmed
Security systems are disabled or rendered ineffective
waving your arms all the way down
Frantically gesturing as everything collapses
slipping under the sound again
Sinking beneath the influence or impact again
i tried to hear the way it sounded
I attempted to perceive how it sounded
we died inside, when your body grounded,
We perished internally when your body connected with the ground
spilled across the floor, slipping under the shade,
Spreading across the floor, succumbing to the darkness
they are here, you cant stop the sound,
They are here, you cannot halt the noise
of the city falling under ground,
The city is collapsing beneath the surface
of the city falling under ground,
Repeat: The city is collapsing beneath the surface
you cant stop the sound,
You cannot silence the noise
you cant stop the sound (you cant stop the sound)
Repeat: You cannot silence the noise
of the city falling under ground,
Repeat: The city is collapsing beneath the surface
of the city falling underground
Repeat: The city is collapsing underground
you looked back but you were never the same,
You looked back, but you were permanently altered
cause you stepped back when you had the chance to leave
Because you retreated when you had the chance to leave
while the city is burning,
While the city is engulfed in flames
the shadow takes our lives with it,
The darkness claims our lives along with it
the fire spreads like a plague,
The fire spreads like a contagion
while the city is burning,
While the city is engulfed in flames
the shadow takes our lives with it.
The darkness claims our lives along with it
takes our lives
Claiming our lives
with shame
With a sense of disgrace or regret
