Lyrics
"Depression set in among the proles
Depression has taken hold among the working class.
They began to sing in quiet tones building into a maelstrom"
They express their feelings quietly, gradually escalating into chaos.
I am low tonight and the truth is the same
The speaker is currently feeling emotionally down, and the reality remains unchanged.
Out in grey tomorrow within this brief space of elegance
Looking forward to a gloomy future within a brief moment of beauty.
I am low
The speaker emphasizes their emotional low state.
The creator seems bitter and strange
The creator (possibly a higher power) appears resentful and unfamiliar.
If we pray through these hopeless and endless days
Praying through seemingly endless and hopeless days.
Will Morpheus take us far away?
Wondering if Morpheus, the god of dreams, will transport them to a better place.
When nothing is clear, there is nothing to fear
Amid uncertainty, there is no need to fear.
There is nothing left to follow
There is no clear path or guidance to follow.
When contradiction has killed all our hope
When contradictions erase all hope.
There is nothing between me and the end of a rope
Feeling a sense of desperation with nothing standing between the speaker and the end of their rope (metaphorically).
I am high today, but I still feel the shame
Despite feeling high, shame still lingers.
If I fly tomorrow, will anyone remember my worthless name?
Questioning if anyone will remember the speaker's seemingly insignificant existence if they were to perish.
If we conquer the years and fight through the tears
Overcoming time and tears may remove obstacles from the speaker's path.
There is nothing that can stand in our way
Nothing can obstruct the speaker's progress.
Nothing can stand in our way
Reiterating that nothing can stand in their way.
And nothing can make the world go away
Emphasizing that nothing can make the world disappear.
Nothing can stand in our way, in our way
Stating again that nothing can hinder their journey.
Nothing can stand in our way
Repeating that nothing can obstruct their path.
And nothing can make the world go away
Reiterating that nothing can make the world vanish.
Nothing can stand in our way, in our way
Stating again that nothing can impede their progress.
Make the time to feel alone again
Encouraging the listener to take time for solitude.
The river flows and the world is so low
Using the metaphor of a flowing river to describe the world's low state.
