Lyrics
Building a skyline
Contemplating the construction of a city skyline
And wondering where my surprise went
Reflecting on the absence of anticipated surprises
The blueprints keep changing
Plans and expectations are constantly evolving
The code keeps on breaking
Systems and structures are continuously malfunctioning
That must be the intent
Suggesting that chaos might be the intended outcome
Pick all my pockets and take what you need
Metaphorically urging others to take what they want
All you'll find
When investigated, only remnants are discovered
Just leave me a shred of humanity
Requesting to preserve a fragment of humanity
Leave me my mind
Emphasizing the importance of retaining one's sanity
Hold on hold on to those pipe dreams
Encouraging the grasp of ambitious dreams
If I'm wrong the worst is already happening
Suggesting that the worst has already occurred if proven wrong
Hold on, hold on
Reiterating the importance of holding onto dreams
No reason we can't have pipe dreams
Asserting that having ambitious dreams is reasonable
Faced with a nation divided and
Describing a nation in conflict and influenced by media
Engaged in reality star wars
Alluding to conflicts portrayed as reality shows
Still no indication that we didn't crawl
No sign indicating an easy escape from difficulties
Out like rats from the sewers
Comparing an escape to rats fleeing from sewers
Pick all my pockets and take what you need
Encouraging taking what one needs without restraint
All you'll find
Only finding remnants after taking from others
Just leave me a shred of humanity
Asking to leave a trace of humanity intact
Leave me my mind
Requesting to preserve one's sanity in the process
Hold on hold on to those pipe dreams
Reiterating the importance of holding onto dreams
If I'm wrong the worst is already happening
Suggesting that the worst has already occurred if proven wrong
Hold on, hold on
Emphasizing the significance of retaining dreams
No reason we can't have pipe dreams
Asserting that having ambitious dreams is reasonable
Infrastructure and pipeline
Referring to the fragility of infrastructure and supply lines
Nearly broken supply lines
Highlighting the vulnerability of essential systems
All my vision is too clear
Expressing a clear understanding of the situation
All this hate it must be fear oh yeah
Suggesting that hatred may stem from underlying fear
Must be fear
Emphasizing the association of hate with fear
Hold on hold on to those pipe dreams
Reiterating the importance of holding onto dreams
If I'm wrong the worst is already happening
Suggesting that the worst has already occurred if proven wrong
Hold on hold on to those pipe dreams
Emphasizing the significance of retaining dreams
If I'm wrong the worst is already happening
Suggesting that the worst has already occurred if proven wrong
Hold on, hold on
Reiterating the importance of holding onto dreams
No reason we can't have pipe dreams
Asserting that having ambitious dreams is reasonable
