Pyramids
Navigating the Night: Unraveling the Depths of Nuclear Weasels' 'Pyramids'
Lyrics
So no one's asked you how you are
There hasn't been any inquiry about your well-being
You hide away hide away this evening
You are concealing yourself tonight
I don't think you'll last tonight
The expectation is that you won't survive through the night
I don't think you'll last till morning
It's predicted you won't make it until morning
Pretty won't do you good if there's a riot
Being attractive won't help if there's chaos or disturbance
You're still the same still the same I know you
Despite appearances, you remain unchanged, and I recognize that
I don't think you'll last tonight
Similar prediction that you won't survive through the night
I don't think you'll last till morning
Anticipation that you won't endure until morning
Oh do you think you're living or getting by
Questioning whether you're truly living or merely existing
You need something to feel alive
You require something to make you feel alive
Jump off your sinking ship and just start to swim
Suggesting the idea of abandoning a failing situation and starting anew
Away from land away from him
Encouragement to move away from a particular place or person
Stop your promises don't sit still
Advising against making commitments or staying stagnant
Or you'll fade away you'll fade away
Warning that you'll diminish or vanish if you remain idle
Oh you took something you're not okay to drive right now
Implying impairment due to taking something and being unfit to drive
Hand me the keys act casually
Requesting the keys while maintaining a composed demeanor
So no one's asked you how you are
Reiterating the absence of concern about your well-being
You hide away hide away this evening
Repeating the act of hiding away
I don't think you'll last tonight
Expressing doubt about your survival through the night
I don't think you'll last till morning
Expectation that you won't make it until morning
Pretty won't do you good if there's a riot
Stating that attractiveness won't be advantageous in chaotic situations
You're still the same still the same I know you
Recognizing a consistent unchanged nature in you
I don't think you'll last tonight
Reiterating doubt about your survival through the night
I don't think you'll last till morning
Reiteration of the belief that you won't endure until morning
Don't be afraid this feeling leaves eventually
Assuring that a particular feeling will fade with time
So unaware oblivious to all around you
Describing a lack of awareness about things surrounding you
Let it go you'll never grow you'll never know
Encouragement to let go of something to progress and gain understanding
It time you'll see this world will give you more than me
Implying that the world has more to offer than the speaker
So no one's asked you how you are
Reiterating the absence of inquiry about your well-being
You hide away hide away this evening
Repeating the act of hiding away
I don't think you'll last tonight
Expressing doubt about your survival through the night
I don't think you'll last till morning
Expectation that you won't make it until morning
Pretty won't do you good if there's a riot
Stating that attractiveness won't be advantageous in chaotic situations
You're still the same still the same I know you
Recognizing a consistent unchanged nature in you
I don't think you'll last tonight
Reiterating doubt about your survival through the night
I don't think you'll last till morning
Reiteration of the belief that you won't endure until morning
