Lyrics

Hey... look around you

Observation and awareness, urging to look at the chaotic surroundings.

Everything's helter-skelter

Describes the disorder and confusion in the environment.

Listen up... I warn you

A warning to pay attention and be cautious.

Run for cover, run

Immediate advice to seek shelter and safety.

Bang... it happened

A sudden and impactful event has occurred.

Time's up, Armageddon

Indication that a catastrophic event is imminent.

Fire... meltdown

Reference to a destructive and intense fire.

The sky is crumbling in

Portrays the collapse of the sky or surroundings.

Black curtains... never ending

Emphasizes a sense of doom and despair with unending darkness.

Escape... you're joking

Disbelief at the possibility of escape, possibly with a touch of irony.

Can't find no place to run

Expresses the inability to find a safe place to flee.

Hair... is burning

Metaphorical description of intense heat and danger.

My flesh is bubbling up

Physical distress and injury due to the catastrophic event.

Blood... is boiling

Intense emotions, possibly anger or fear.

Taste copper on my tongue

Sensory experience, a metallic taste possibly from blood.

Fate... is coming

A sense of inevitability and approaching destiny.

Welcome it with a smile

Acceptance of fate with a positive attitude.

Black curtains... never ending, fall

Reiteration of the unending darkness, emphasizing its relentless nature.

Something's under my skin

Suggests an unsettling presence or feeling within.

Something's very strange

Acknowledgment of something unusual and disturbing.

Playing with my mind

External forces influencing thoughts and decisions.

Tempting me to do you in

Temptation or pressure to commit an action with consequences.

Am I dreaming? My heart pounds my chest

Uncertainty and heightened emotions, possibly in a dream state.

Held for ransom in a spider's web

Feeling trapped and at the mercy of a dangerous situation.

Suffocating, no one hears my calls

Sensation of suffocation and isolation with no one hearing cries for help.

Never ending, till the black curtain falls

Reiteration of the unending nature of the darkness and its impact.

Snakes... surround me

Presence of danger, symbolized by snakes, offering a deadly threat.

Offering their death kiss to me

Imminent danger and a metaphorical death kiss from the threatening situation.

Down... I'm drowning

Sense of drowning, possibly overwhelmed by circumstances.

How long, I hold my breath

Uncertainty about the duration of enduring a difficult situation.

Dogs... are chasing

Pursuit and danger, with legs metaphorically paralyzed.

My legs are paralyzed

A sense of helplessness and being unable to escape.

Pray... don't find me

Desperate plea to avoid detection or capture.

My life is fading fast

The fading of life, indicating the severity of the situation.
