Modern Detritus
Urban Decay Chronicles: A Dystopian Reflection in Modern Detritus Lyrics
Lyrics
What is this? Closing down
Questioning the situation of closure
Capital risk
Risk associated with capital investment or finance
Nothing is left here
Complete absence or depletion of things
No outside
Lack of external assistance or support
No one can live here
Uninhabitable conditions
Jealous lives, empty words
Envious lives and hollow, meaningless expressions
Lock yourself inside here
Isolating oneself within this situation
Keep warm
Advising to maintain warmth, possibly metaphorical
Lives wasting away
Existences deteriorating without purpose
Precious time lost here
Valuable time being wasted
Keep warm
Reiteration to maintain warmth in dire circumstances
What if we die here?
Concern about the possibility of dying in this place
What have we done?
Questioning actions and their consequences
Send help down here
Plea for assistance to this location
Keep warm
Reiteration to keep warm, possibly a metaphorical suggestion
How could it, could it help?
Questioning the potential aid and its effectiveness
Who does it, does it help?
Questioning who the aid might benefit
Closing down, one by one one
Gradual closure of entities or places
Cleansing is nothing new
Implication that cleansing is a routine action
Keep warm
Advice or suggestion to maintain warmth amidst change
Excellent transport
Excellent means of transportation
In need of modernisation
In need of modern updates or improvements
Purpose-built residential
Residences designed with specific purposes now abandoned
Derelict
Left in a state of disrepair or abandonment
No town, identity, feelings
Lack of community identity and emotions
Concrete, no remorse
Impersonal, unyielding concrete with no regret
Listen, no one can live here
Reiteration that life is unsustainable in this place
One more? What's it worth?
Questioning the value of one more of something in this context
Relief, passion, glass ceilings
Yearning for relief and the breaking of barriers
Empty life, no remorse
Existence devoid of meaning or regret
Send help, please down here
Urgent plea for assistance to this location
No more, human worth
Assertion of the lack of human value or dignity
