Lyrics
All in all, it's no one's fault,
All in all, no one is to blame.
Excuses turn to carbon walls,
Excuses become barriers made of carbon.
Blame it all on chemical intercourse.
Blaming everything on chemical interactions.
The swallowed seeds of arrogance,
Arrogance grows from swallowed seeds.
Breeding in the thoughts of ten-
Arrogance breeds in the minds of many fools.
Thousand fools that fight irrelevance.
Fools who fight against irrelevance.
The full moon is dead skin,
The full moon symbolizes lifeless skin.
The one down here's wearing thin,
The moon down here is fading.
So set up the ten pins,
Setting up the pins, preparing for challenges.
As the human tide rolls in,
The human tide arrives.
Like a ball that's spinning.
Metaphor for life's constant motion.
Bombs, dropping down,
Bombs falling from above.
Overhead, underground,
Impact felt both overhead and underground.
It's instilled, to want to live.
The desire to live is ingrained.
Bombs, dropping down,
Continuation of the impact of bombs.
Please forgive, our hometown,
Seeking forgiveness for the hometown.
In our insignificance.
Reflecting on our insignificance.
Turn the jukebox up, he said,
Increasing the volume of the jukebox.
Dancing in irreverence,
Dancing with a lack of respect or seriousness.
Play V3, let the song protest.
Playing a specific song (V3) as a form of protest.
The plates began to shift,
Shift in circumstances or perspectives.
Perfect lefts come rolling in,
Perfect opportunities or situations arise.
I was alone and far away, hey,
Feeling isolated and distant.
When I heard the band start playing,
Noticing the start of a band playing music.
On the lip, late take off.
Reference to surfing terminology, suggesting challenges.
Bombs, dropping down,
Repetition of bombs falling, emphasizing impact.
Overhead, underground,
Impact is both felt overhead and underground.
It's instilled to want to live.
Reiteration of the innate desire to live.
Bombs dropping down,
Continued impact of bombs on the hometown.
Please forgive, our hometown,
Seeking forgiveness for the hometown's role.
In our insignificance.
Reflection on insignificance within the hometown.
Feel like resonance of distance,
Sensation of distance echoing in feelings.
In the blood the iron lies.
Iron in the blood symbolizing strength and resilience.
It's instilled to want to live.
Reiteration of the innate desire to live.
Bombs dropping down,
Repetition of bombs falling, emphasizing impact.
Please forgive our hometown,
Seeking forgiveness for the hometown's role.
In our insignificance,
Final reflection on insignificance.
Oh, in our insignificance, oh.
Reiteration of insignificance as a closing emphasis.
