Lyrics
You ask me how I feel
You inquire about my emotional state
About the things I've heard today
Regarding the information I've received today
The sun fell down and broke its crown
The sun metaphorically fell, symbolizing a downfall
And everything turned to grey
Resulting in a world where everything became dull and lifeless
The world shut down and that ole' town
The world metaphorically shut down, impacting a specific town
Ain't never gonna be the same
Implying a permanent change in that town's essence
The preacher man made a stand
The preacher man took a firm stand
Saying get on you knees and pray
Advising people to kneel down and pray
And oh ... pray for love
An expression of the need to pray for love
So this is real, so this is life
Confirming the reality and challenges of life
So this is what it must be like
Acknowledging the experience of life's difficulties
On a killing day
Referring to a day marked by destruction and death
You ask me how I feel
Revisiting the inquiry about emotional state
About the things I've seen today
Concerning the witnessed events of the day
The mountains feel, the ocean swelled
Describing natural elements reacting dramatically
And everything washed away
Resulting in the wiping away of everything
The world shut door and that ole' town
Reiterating the impact on a specific town
Ain't never gonna be the same
Highlighting a permanent transformation in the town
The preacher man he washed his hands
The preacher man, perhaps metaphorically, distancing himself
Saying get on your knees and pray
Encouraging people to pray in the face of adversity
And oh ... pray for love
Emphasizing the importance of praying for love
I don't want to be here anymore
An expression of the desire to escape the current situation
I sware I've got to get away
A solemn declaration of the need to leave
