Keep the Lights On
Surviving Echoes: Unveiling the Struggle in Primitive Weapons' 'Keep the Lights On'
Lyrics
We’ve walked the apache line
We have faced challenging situations akin to the metaphorical "apache line."
Right through all the lies
We confronted and experienced various falsehoods.
Left with hate and divide
Left with feelings of animosity and division.
not knowing how we’re gonna be alive
In a state of uncertainty about our survival.
And for that alone no one’s won
Despite the challenges, there is no clear winner, and everyone suffers.
we’re losing all the time
We are continually experiencing losses.
So how do I learn
Questioning how to avoid being overwhelmed.
Not to get swallowed
Seeking knowledge on avoiding being engulfed by negative forces.
As the echoes of power
The influence of power and authority is becoming more pronounced.
Only get louder
The impact of authority is escalating, amplifying its effects.
We’ve walked the apache line
Reiteration of facing challenges symbolized by the "apache line."
Right through all the lies
Reaffirmation of encountering and enduring falsehoods.
Left with hate and divide
Reinforcement of experiencing hatred and division.
not knowing how we’re gonna be alive
Reiteration of uncertainty about survival.
And for that alone no one’s won
Despite the struggles, no one emerges victorious, and everyone suffers.
we’re losing all the time
Continued experience of ongoing losses.
Through the lens of
Viewing challenges through the lens of fear for others.
fear for the other
The fear for others is the dominant perspective.
not what matters
What truly matters is not the focus in the face of fear.
our survival
Highlighting the importance of our survival amid challenges.
We’ve walked the apache line
Reiteration of facing challenging situations akin to the "apache line."
Right through all the lies
Reaffirmation of confronting and experiencing falsehoods.
Left with hate and divide
Reinforcement of feelings of hatred and division.
not knowing how we’re gonna be alive
Reiteration of uncertainty about survival.
And for that alone no one’s won
Despite the hardships, no one emerges victorious, and everyone suffers.
we’re losing all the time
Continued experience of ongoing losses.
do we deserve
Raising the question of whether we deserve the challenges we face.
All the death
Contemplating the inevitability of death.
Annihilation
Considering the possibility of complete destruction.
For what we are?
Questioning the consequences of who we are as individuals or as a society.
