Living on Strangers
Strangers' Debt: Unveiling Life's Currency in Scapa Flow's Melody
Lyrics
We're living on strangers and we are the owed
We rely on the generosity of strangers, and we are in debt to them.
But we are not blameless though we are so called
We are not without fault, despite being referred to as blameless.
We never intended to work all our lives
We never planned to work our entire lives.
So we have been saving so we have it nice
We've been saving money to ensure a comfortable life.
Where's it all gone? We're living on strangers
We are now in a situation where we depend on strangers for support.
I put my feet up on what you earn
I am benefiting from your hard work and earnings.
Stupid old man said watch your mouth
An older person warns to be mindful of what is said.
You gotta turn it out now
It's time to take action and change our circumstances.
Where's it all gone? We're skint without warning
We are financially struggling without any prior indication.
How will it figure when I grow old?
Concerns about financial stability in old age.
Stupid old man said watch your mouth
A repeated warning to be cautious in speech.
There's no room in that grave for gold
No amount of wealth can be taken to the grave.
Ticking time bomb and it's been set
A metaphorical time bomb is ticking, signifying impending trouble.
When you find out that it's you next
When you discover that you are the next in line for challenges.
With no nest egg
Without a financial safety net for the future.
The same as all the rest
Facing the same struggles as everyone else.
What you lived for
The purpose or meaning of life is uncertain.
We will guess
We will make assumptions about it.
