Should the World Fail to Fall Apart
Unveiling Shadows: Peter Murphy's Poetic Reflections on Courage and Desolation
Lyrics
Should the world fail to fall apart
Expressing uncertainty about the stability of the world
And lock off in a remote sky
Suggesting a detachment or separation of the world, possibly hinting at isolation
Ideas can matter too much
Highlighting the significance and impact of ideas
Can't hear for lack of sleep
Unable to perceive due to sleep deprivation
Breathing in the smoking ruins
Inhaling the aftermath of destruction
The rockets in the shadows whispering
Implying hidden or secretive activities with potential danger
Singing in the underground
Engaging in activities below the surface or outside the mainstream
Love and the never men
Mentioning a concept of love intertwined with an unconventional existence
Can't hear for lack of sleep
Reiterating inability to hear due to lack of rest
Looking for the past
Searching for past experiences or memories
Try to slip the script
Attempting to deviate from the expected or established narrative
Gun the lowest plane
Accelerating or aiming for the least acceptable level
Hidden all eyes know
Something hidden that is universally acknowledged
Try to slip the script
Repeating the attempt to break away from a predetermined storyline
Gun the lowest plane
Again, aiming for the least acceptable level
Hidden all eyes know
Reiterating a known hidden aspect
There's some use in treating courage
Suggesting value in perceiving courage as something distant or unattainable
As a remote friend
Learning the art of deception or dishonesty
Learning what it is to lie
Implying a sudden halt or stop
Stop crash fall
Descending onto a corrupted or tainted environment
On a leper mass of swelling glass
Describing the aftermath of a catastrophic event
Cleaning up the swamps
Clearing away undesirable or unpleasant things
You are the heart of hearts
Being the core essence or the most important part of something
Wonder dig and try
Expressing curiosity and exploration alongside effort
Tear it up and learn to bless the readers eye
Suggesting tearing apart and then appreciating the insight gained
