Lyrics

When it all burns down

Reflecting on a catastrophic event

What you gonna do?

Questioning actions or decisions in the face of disaster

When it all burns down

Continuing to ponder the aftermath of the disaster

Where you gonna go?

Exploring options or destinations after the disaster

When it all burns down

Contemplating the extent of the destruction

How far you gonna run?

Considering the distance or escape plan

When it all burns down

Thoughts on the consequences of the disaster


Never thought it'd get down to this

Expressing surprise at the severity of the situation

Never thought it'd get down to this

Reiteration of disbelief in the current circumstances


Deep and sound asleep

Metaphorical state of unawareness and peace

And never saw the blaze

Not recognizing the impending danger

Deep and sound asleep

Continuing unawareness of the fire

Couldn't smell the smoke

Being oblivious to the danger signals

Deep and sound asleep

Unconsciousness to the approaching disaster

Didn't feel the flames

Remaining unaffected by the impending crisis

Deep and sound asleep

Peaceful ignorance to the destructive events


We were dreaming while the city burned

Describing dreams amidst the chaos

We were dreaming while the city burned

Emphasizing the contrast between dreams and reality


Now it's all burned down

Observing the aftermath of the destruction

Who can you trust?

Raising questions about trust in the aftermath

Now it's all burned down

Continuing to question survival amidst devastation

How come you're still alive?

Wondering about the reason for still being alive

Now it's all burned down

Searching for a place to find solace or rest

Where can you sleep tonight?

Contemplating the challenge of finding shelter

Now it's all burned down

(Repetition of the search for shelter)


Got one bullet left

Facing a dire situation with limited options

And your time's run out

Acknowledging the imminent end of time

Better take that last shot

Advising to use the remaining opportunity wisely

Better make it count

Emphasizing the importance of making a significant impact

Got one bullet left

(Repetition of having one final chance)

And your time's run out

Highlighting the urgency of the situation

Better take that last shot

Reiterating the need to make the last action count

Better make it count

Emphasizing the significance of the final decision
