Uphill
Uphill Realities: Unveiling Societal Struggles in Not That John Knox's Anthem
Lyrics
The skies are open
The possibilities are abundant or opportunities are available.
The oceans are closed
Access to certain things is restricted or unavailable.
The priests are circling
Religious figures are navigating or engaged in activities.
The children exposed
Children are vulnerable or exposed to something negative.
The money is flowing
Money is moving, possibly indicating economic activities.
Uphill it runs
Progress is challenging, requiring effort against gravity (uphill).
The virus is nothing
The significance of a virus is minimal when compared to the sun, possibly highlighting bigger issues.
Compared to the sun
The sun represents a powerful force or problem in comparison to the triviality of a virus.
Pay attention
Be attentive, but also divert your attention.
And look away
Contradictory advice, emphasizing the complexity of the situation.
The show's in motion
An event or process is underway.
It's time to pay
It's time to face consequences or responsibilities.
The cowards are running
Cowards are avoiding reality or unpleasant truths.
Away from the facts
Avoiding the truth is causing harm to the masses.
Sacrificing the masses
Powerful individuals are protecting themselves at the expense of the general population.
Protecting their backs
Protecting oneself while neglecting important lessons.
The lines are growing
Challenges and difficulties are increasing.
Lessons not learned
Society is not learning from its mistakes.
Bridges we built
Infrastructure or relationships are being ignored and destroyed.
Neglected and burned
Neglecting important structures and burning bridges metaphorically.
Pay the piper
Fulfill obligations or face consequences.
And take the count
The consequences are imminent and need to be accounted for.
It's one past midnight
Time has passed, and it's a critical moment.
