Lyrics
Her world collapsed early Sunday morning
Her world fell apart early on a Sunday morning
She got up from the kitchen table
She stood up from the kitchen table
Folded the newspaper and silenced the radio
She folded the newspaper and turned off the radio
Those creatures jumped the barricades
"Those creatures" broke through barriers
And have headed for the sea, sea
They are now moving towards the sea
Ooh
Expressing emotion or reaction to the events
Ooh
-Those creatures jumped the barricades
Repetition, emphasizing the creatures heading for the sea
And have headed for the sea
-She began to breathe
The woman starts breathing
To breathe at the thought of such freedom
She breathes at the idea of freedom
Stood and whispered to her child, "belong"
She whispers to her child the word "belong"
She held the child and whispered
She holds the child and repeats the word
With calm, calm, "belong"
Repeating "belong" with calmness
Ooh
Repetition of emotional expression
Ooh
-Ooh
-Ooh
-She stood and whispered to her child, "belong"
Reiteration of whispering "belong" to the child
She held the child and whispered
She holds the child and repeats the word
With calm, calm, "belong"
Repeating "belong" with calmness
Ooh
Continuation of emotional expression
Ooh
-Ooh
-Ooh
-Those barricades can only hold for so long
The barricades can only resist for a limited time
Her world collapsed early Sunday morning
Reiteration of her world collapsing on a Sunday morning
She took the child held tight
She takes the child tightly in her arms
Opened the window
She opens the window
A breath, this song, how long
A breath, a song, contemplating how long
And knew, knew, "belong"
She knows, emphasizes "belong"
Ooh
Final expression of emotions
Ooh
-Ooh
-Ooh
