Lyrics
All the way from where we came
Alludes to the journey from the starting point.
Built a mansion in a day
Metaphorically describes rapid success or achievement.
Distant lightning, thunder claps
Describes a distant storm with visual and auditory elements.
Watched our neighbor's house collapse
Observation of a neighbor's misfortune during the storm.
Looked the other way
Choosing to ignore or avoid acknowledging the problems.
And then the storm was overhead
Storm intensifies, catastrophic events affecting the world.
All the oceans boiled and rivers bled
Environmental crisis with symbolic descriptions.
We auctioned off our memories
Selling off or losing cherished memories in tough times.
In the absence of a breeze
No relief or positive change indicated.
Scatter what remains
Encouraging to disperse and let go of what remains.
Scatter what remains
-Pushed away I'm pulled toward
Expressing inner conflict, vacillation, and disregarding warnings.
A comedown of revolving doors
-Every warning we ignored
-Drifting in from distant shores
-The wind presents a change of course
-A second reckoning of sorts
-We were wasted waiting for
-A comedown of revolving doors
-Fate don't fail me now
Call for fate or destiny to bring positive outcomes.
And when the days that followed past
Describes another phase of success with possibilities.
In another mansion built to last
-From our window we could see
-Only possibilities down the road and back
-But then the storm returned for more
Return of difficulties, cyclic challenges.
In a comedown of revolving doors
Repetition of selling memories in the absence of relief.
We auctioned off our memories
-In the absence of a breeze
-Scatter what remains
-Scatter what remains
-Pushed away I'm pulled toward
Reiteration of internal struggles, ignoring warnings, and facing changes.
A comedown of revolving doors
-Every warning we ignored
-Drifting in from distant shores
-The wind presents a change of course
-A second reckoning of sorts
-We were wasted waiting for
-A comedown of revolving doors
-Fate don't fail me now
Repetition of the plea for fate not to fail.
Fate don't fail me now
-Fate don't fail me now
-Fate don't fail me now
