Spirit of Mankind
Mighty Spirit of Mankind: War, Loss, and Resilience in Song
Lyrics
Still pulling wingless angels across the coals, this is war, war
Still facing challenges and difficulties, symbolized by wingless angels, in the midst of war.
You shut the borders down closed every door in every town and more
Imposing restrictions and closing off opportunities, creating a sense of isolation and separation.
If we were only dreaming oh no we're not in Kansas anymore
Reflecting on a loss of innocence or familiarity, feeling displaced and far from a previous state of normalcy.
These days are filled with the best of us
Acknowledging positive experiences and achievements during these challenging times.
These days are filled with the worst of us
Recognizing the existence of negative aspects or behaviors in the midst of difficulties.
These days are filled with the mighty spirit of mankind
Emphasizing the enduring and powerful essence of humanity even in difficult times.
These days are one in a million
Highlighting the rarity and uniqueness of the current circumstances.
These days will die in the summer rain
Suggesting that positive aspects may come to an end unexpectedly, like a summer rain.
These days are filled with the mighty spirit of mankind
Reiterating the enduring and powerful spirit of humanity despite challenges.
We took for granted all the beauty in normality and touch, touch
Realizing the value of ordinary beauty and human connection, possibly taken for granted.
You stole our precious time no chance to say a last goodbye this ends now
Expressing regret for a lack of opportunity to bid farewell due to unexpected circumstances.
If we were only dreaming oh no we're not in Kansas anymore
Reiterating a sense of displacement or loss of familiarity, emphasizing a new reality.
These days are filled with the best of us
Acknowledging the presence of positive qualities or experiences during challenging times.
These days are filled with the worst of us
Acknowledging negative aspects or behaviors that coexist with positive experiences.
These days are filled with the mighty spirit of mankind
Underlining the enduring and powerful spirit of humanity even in the face of adversity.
These days are one in a million
Highlighting the rarity and uniqueness of the current circumstances.
These days will die in the summer rain
Suggesting that positive aspects may come to an end unexpectedly, like a summer rain.
These days are filled with the mighty spirit of mankind
Reiterating the enduring and powerful spirit of humanity despite challenges.
And we've got to go the distance but we're on the ropes again
Facing challenges and obstacles, but determined to overcome them despite being in a difficult situation.
Daddy told me nothing lasts forever son the good times nor the bad
Receiving advice about the impermanence of both good and bad times from a paternal figure.
And in the ashes I can see a phoenix rising through these flames, through these days
Visualizing a positive transformation or rebirth emerging from the challenges and hardships.
These days are filled with the best of us
Acknowledging positive experiences and achievements during these challenging times.
These days are filled with the worst of us
Recognizing the existence of negative aspects or behaviors in the midst of difficulties.
These days are filled with the mighty spirit of mankind
Emphasizing the enduring and powerful essence of humanity even in difficult times.
These days are one in a million
Highlighting the rarity and uniqueness of the current circumstances.
These days will die in the summer rain
Suggesting that positive aspects may come to an end unexpectedly, like a summer rain.
These days are filled with the mighty spirit of mankind
Reiterating the enduring and powerful spirit of humanity despite challenges.
