Lyrics
i, i, i, i
The repetition of "i" suggests a personal and introspective tone.
I have survived
Expressing survival and resilience.
On islands of order
Metaphorically existing in ordered states or situations.
In time toed the line
Following rules or conforming to expectations over time.
From higher disorder
Transitioning from a more chaotic state to a structured one.
Now I’m in my prime
Feeling at the peak of one's life.
But the worlds turned to water It’s making me nauseous
Anxiety about a changing world, possibly a metaphor for instability.
It’s making me
Emphasizing the impact of the world's transformation.
There’s fires on the freeway Two minds in the court case Has everybody gone lawless I’m sure this distorted
Observing chaos, legal battles, and a sense of lawlessness.
Sea rise in the heatwave
Climate change references with rising sea levels and heatwaves.
Need a rocket to some free space We’ll keep a couple for the clean slates Breathe easy move forward
Desiring escape, preserving some innocence, and moving forward.
i, i
Repetition of "i" for personal emphasis.
Have to try
A commitment to perceive life vividly and holistically.
To see things in colour The bigger the picture The longer our summer So who’s still alive
Valuing a broad perspective for a longer, enjoyable life.
To rebel amongst us
Questioning who remains rebellious in challenging times.
Let sirens confront us all
Acknowledging and facing potential dangers represented by sirens.
There’s fires on the freeway Two minds in the court case Has everybody gone lawless I’m sure this distorted
Reiteration of chaos, legal battles, and a distorted world view.
Sea rise in the heatwave
Continuation of climate change imagery.
Need a rocket to some free space We’ll keep a couple for the clean slates Breathe easy move forward
Re-emphasizing the need for escape and a fresh start.
Freeway x8
Repetition of "Freeway" as a motif, possibly symbolizing a path or journey.
I hate to see it
Expressing dislike or sorrow at a troubling situation.
Spreading like forest fire
Comparing a negative situation to the rapid spread of a forest fire.
I hope to believe that
Expressing hope that destructive patterns won't continue.
We won’t keep making this flame higher
Desire for a positive change, avoiding an escalation of problems.
There’s fires on the freeway Two minds in the court case Has everybody gone lawless
Reiteration of chaos, legal battles, and a distorted world view.
I’m sure this distorted
Continuation of climate change imagery.
Sea rise in the heatwave
Re-emphasizing the need for escape and a fresh start.
Need a rocket to some free space We’ll keep a couple for the clean slates Breathe easy move forward
Repetition of "Freeway" with a call to move forward and breathe easy.
Freeway x2
Repetition of the motif "Freeway."
There’s fires on the freeway Two minds in the court case Has everybody gone lawless I’m sure this distorted
Reiteration of chaos, legal battles, and a distorted world view.
Sea rise in the heatwave
Continuation of climate change imagery.
Need a rocket to some free space We’ll keep a couple for the clean slates Breathe easy move forward
Re-emphasizing the need for escape and a fresh start.
