Lyrics
Malachi sits on the edge of a cliff to watch the world go by
Malachi observes the world from a cliff, symbolizing a detached perspective.
They say he’s losin’ his grip, but if you think about it, he’s the only one to open his eyes
Despite perceptions of instability, Malachi is portrayed as the one who sees reality clearly.
He says, "I issued my call, wrote it up on the wall, got my word from the source
Malachi claims to have received a divine call, emphasizing a sense of purpose and guidance.
I don’t mind at all, the temple may fall, everything runs its course..."
Acceptance of life's cycles, acknowledging that everything has its natural course, even the temple's fall.
It’s been years, since your message with no reply
Expresses disappointment over a message with no response received for years.
You turn deaf ears, we’ve danced for rain but the river’s runnin’ dry
Metaphorically dancing for rain, but efforts seem futile as the river runs dry, reflecting struggles.
It’s our worst fear, 'cuz now everyday feels more like the end times
Everyday life feels apocalyptic, addressing collective fears of an impending end.
And we’ve exhausted all our same old alibis… Oh Malachi…
Acknowledges exhaustion of excuses, possibly hinting at societal or personal shortcomings.
I need someone to turn the tides, Malachi…
An appeal for someone, possibly Malachi, to bring about positive change and reverse the negative tide.
Malachi roams through the valley of bones, not a care in his mind.
Malachi navigates challenges effortlessly in the valley of bones, suggesting resilience and adaptability.
He feels right at home, raisin’ children from stones, without breaking his stride
Building a life from challenging circumstances without faltering, demonstrating strength and determination.
He says, "Consider your fate, for wide is the gate that leads to demise
Advises reflection on one's destiny, cautioning about the broad gate leading to downfall.
I tried to reiterate, but no one escaped the jaws of their own device…"
Attempts to warn, but people fall victim to their own devices, possibly referencing self-destructive behaviors.
It’s been years, since your message with no reply
Reiteration of the lack of response to a long-pending message, emphasizing a sense of isolation.
You turn deaf ears, we’ve danced for rain but the river’s runnin’ dry
Repeated efforts for change seem futile, mirroring the earlier metaphor of dancing for rain.
It’s our worst fear, 'cuz now everyday feels more like the end times
Everyday life continues to feel like an impending apocalypse, emphasizing a pervasive sense of doom.
And we’ve exhausted all our same old alibis… Oh Malachi…
Acknowledges the exhaustion of excuses, possibly pointing to the need for genuine solutions.
I need someone to turn the tides, Malachi…
A repeated plea for someone, potentially Malachi, to bring about a positive shift in circumstances.
The eye of a needle’s much too broad
Metaphorically suggests that the path to redemption is narrow, challenging the facade of a broader path.
For all those holding up this whole facade
Addressing those upholding a deceptive facade, hinting at accountability when it crumbles.
There’ll be nowhere left to pin the blame
Forewarning that blame will have no place to rest when carefully laid plans fail.
When your best-laid plans go up in flames…
Acceptance of the inevitability of plans going awry and the resulting chaos.
It’s been years, since your message with no reply
Reiterates the lack of response to a long-pending message, emphasizing persistent isolation.
You turn deaf ears, we’ve danced for rain but the river’s runnin’ dry
Repeated frustration at the futile efforts for change, using the rain metaphor again.
It’s our worst fear, 'cuz now everyday feels more like the end times
Continued sense of impending doom in everyday life, highlighting a grim outlook.
And we’ve exhausted all our same old alibis… Oh Malachi…
Emphasizes the exhaustion of excuses, urging a shift towards genuine solutions and change.
I need someone to turn the tides, Malachi…
A final plea for someone, possibly Malachi, to bring about a positive transformation in circumstances.
