Lyrics

I'm looking through a hole in the sky

I'm observing the world with a sense of detachment or distance.

I'm seeing nowhere through the eyes of a lie

I perceive a deceptive reality, a false perspective.

I'm getting closer to the end of the line

I'm approaching the conclusion or limit of a situation or experience.

I'm living easy where the sun doesn't shine

I'm living comfortably in a place where difficulties or challenges are not apparent.

I'm living in a room without any view

I reside in a confined space without the ability to see the outside world.

I'm living free because the

I enjoy a carefree existence because there are no financial obligations.

Rent's never due the synonyms of all the

Various words or concepts, possibly related to the speaker's life, don't require payment.

Things that I've said

The things I've expressed or claimed in the past.

Are just the riddles that are

The statements I've made are enigmatic or puzzling.

Built in my head

The puzzles are mental constructs created within my mind.

Hole in the sky, take me to heaven

Expressing a desire for transcendence or a journey to a better place.

Window in time, through it I fly

A metaphorical opening in time through which the speaker transcends.

I've seen the stars disappear in the sun

Observing celestial bodies vanish in the overwhelming power of the sun.

The shooting's easy if you've

Suggesting that achieving goals is straightforward with the right tools.

Got the right gun

Hinting at the ease of conflict resolution with adequate means.

And even though I'm sitting waiting for Mars

Waiting for a change or progress but skeptical about its potential.

I don't believe there's any future in cause

Doubting that there's a positive outcome in pursuing a particular cause.

Hole in the sky, take me to heaven

Reiterating the desire for a transformative experience.

Window in time, through it I fly yeah

Reaffirming the idea of transcending through a temporal opening.

I've watched the dogs of

Observing the destructive nature of war and its participants.

War enjoying their feast

Witnessing the decline of the western world in the east.

I've seen the western world go

The pursuit of materialism overshadowed love, leading to greed.

Down in the east

Presenting a critical view of contemporary society's values.

The food of love became the greed of our time

The pursuit of profit has become a source of pride for the speaker.

But now I'm living on the profit's of pride

The speaker now lives off the benefits derived from prideful achievements.
