In the Crush
Seeking Refuge: The Paradox of Safety
Lyrics
We ignored the warning
We disregarded a warning
Let the sirens ring
Allowed the sirens to sound
Terror in the distance
Terror is approaching from a distance
Hear the sirens sing
Hear the sirens as if singing
Still scratching upwards
Still struggling to rise
Gnawing through
Gnawing through challenges
Nightmare's teasing, turn the screw
Nightmares are tempting, intensifying difficulties
Slide away slowly
Gradually retreat or escape
No they won't care
They won't show concern
Can you smell the burning
Can you perceive the destruction?
Run from the flare
Escape from the intense light or attention
Safer in the sewer
It's safer in the unpleasant or undesirable situation
Safer in the sewer
-Safer in the sewer than in the crush
It's safer in the unpleasant or undesirable situation than in the crowded place
It's safer in the sewer
It's safer in the unpleasant or undesirable situation
Safer in the sewer
-Rats are safer in the sewer than in the crush
Rats find safety in the unpleasant or undesirable situation compared to the crowded place
Those low end feelings
Those feelings of low status or importance
Still can't beat it
Still unable to overcome it
But the uptown pleasure never brings you down
But the pleasure associated with high society never brings you down
There is no more meaning
There is no longer significance or value
In those damp ceilings
In those damp ceilings or confinements
When life outside is about to burn
When life outside is on the verge of collapsing
You're safer in the sewer
You are safer in the unpleasant or undesirable situation
Safer in the sewer
-Safer in the sewer than in the crush
You are safer in the unpleasant or undesirable situation than in the crowded place
Safer in the sewer
You are safer in the unpleasant or undesirable situation
Safer in the sewer
-Safer in the sewer than in the crush
Rats find safety in the unpleasant or undesirable situation compared to the crowded place
