Lyrics
Blindsided by them
Feeling caught off guard or surprised by them
Recording as I stare
Observing and documenting the situation while staring
The cross is burning
Experiencing a provocative or threatening situation, symbolized by a burning cross
No chance to overcome
Having no opportunity to overcome the challenges or difficulties
I feel them parking
Sensing their presence, possibly in a hostile manner
I guess my night has come
Realizing that the night, a metaphor for a challenging or dark period, has arrived
Is this real?
Questioning the reality of the situation
No restitution
Experiencing a lack of compensation or reparation
I am here, falling in circles far
Being present and falling into a repetitive or cyclical pattern
Sorrowfully I fall
Falling with sorrow or sadness
We never knew at all
Realizing that there was no knowledge or awareness at all
We never saw it coming
Expressing surprise at the unexpected event or circumstance
Like a truck that's passing
Comparing the surprise to a powerful force, like a passing truck
A gun that's blasting
Describing the intensity of the surprise, akin to a blasting gun
I feel the lashing
Feeling the impact or consequences of the surprise
We've never been so divided
Expressing a state of being deeply divided or separated
Scattered and spread among
Being scattered and spread among, possibly referring to a sense of disarray
Like useless ashes
Comparing the state to useless ashes, possibly symbolizing destruction
The Phoenix overcomes
Highlighting resilience by overcoming challenges like the Phoenix
And what can I do, I know
Acknowledging a sense of powerlessness in the face of the situation
It's all I want, uncontrollable
Desiring something uncontrollable, possibly indicating a yearning for change
We never saw it
Reiterating the lack of foresight or awareness about the situation
Like the bombs that's blasting
Comparing the lack of awareness to the sudden impact of bombs
Religious clashing
Referring to clashes driven by religious differences
The world is asking
Indicating that the world is questioning or seeking answers
We never saw it
Reiterating the lack of foresight or awareness about the situation
We never, never saw it
Emphasizing the surprise by repeating that it was never seen coming
Coming, coming
Stating the realization that the unexpected event is now happening
