Lyrics
The cigarette smoke chokes, the coffee is weak
The atmosphere is stifling with cigarette smoke, and the coffee lacks strength.
Only empty faces on this endless street
The surroundings are filled with unfamiliar, emotionless faces on an endless street.
On a sorrow trip to the promised land
Embarking on a journey of sadness towards a promised but uncertain destination.
Giving up all hope stuck in sinking sand
Abandoning all optimism, feeling trapped in a situation that worsens steadily.
The grass is greener on the other side
There is a perception that things are better elsewhere, but the reality is different.
But the honey is sweeter on Saturday nights
Pleasures are more enjoyable on Saturday nights, despite challenges.
There' s gotta be some hope before I die
Seeking hope before facing inevitable mortality.
Because the truth is the truth or the truth is surely a lie
Questioning the nature of truth, acknowledging its potential deception.
Hear the angels calling
Hearing a call from angels, possibly representing guidance or intervention.
Searching for the blind
In search of those who are metaphorically blind, possibly lost or misguided.
Crown the queen of silence
Elevating someone to a position of silence, possibly indicating isolation or solitude.
Leave the sinking ship behind
Leaving a deteriorating situation or abandoning a failing endeavor.
When I reach the bottom, hardly alive
Reaching a low point in life, feeling almost lifeless and exhausted.
Tired of feeding pigs, you know I gotta survive
Tired of dealing with insignificant matters, driven by the need for survival.
I can hear the bells from the underground
Hearing symbolic bells from the underground, possibly representing unseen challenges.
In a world that keeps on pushing me around
Living in a world that constantly imposes difficulties and hardships.
When their big balls don' t impress me anymore
Being unimpressed by superficial displays of power or influence.
When I've heard all their empty rhymes before
Having heard all the predictable and insincere expressions before.
When the angels are calling for better times
Yearning for positive change when angels call for a better future.
Appolyon seems stronger on the other side
Feeling the influence of negativity or adversity represented by Appolyon (Apollyon).
Hear the angels calling
Responding to the call of angels, reinforcing the earlier theme of divine guidance.
Searching for the blind
Continuing the search for those who are spiritually lost or misguided.
Crown the queen of silence
Granting a metaphorical crown to someone who embraces silence or isolation.
Leave the sinking ship behind
Choosing to abandon a failing situation or relationship.
The kids are knocking on my door
Encountering persistent demands from others, possibly representing societal pressures.
They just want more and more and more
People seeking more without recognizing the futility of their desires.
But nothing really matters, no
Emphasizing that, in the grand scheme, nothing truly matters.
I left the banners on the floor
Abandoning symbols of identity or pride, perhaps as an act of detachment.
No, nothing really matters at all
Reiterating the insignificance of everything in the larger context.
Hear the angels calling
Responding again to the call of angels, reinforcing the theme of divine intervention.
Searching for the blind
Continuing the search for those who are spiritually lost or misguided.
Crown the queen of silence
Granting a metaphorical crown to someone who embraces silence or isolation.
Leave the sinking ship behind
Choosing to leave behind a deteriorating situation or relationship.
