Land of Engineers
Journey Through the Land of Engineers
Lyrics
Not sure what to do with myself lately
Expressing uncertainty or confusion about recent actions or decisions.
Me and all my friends are just so weird
Describing a sense of uniqueness or eccentricity among the speaker and their friends.
Guess we'll hang out on the beach
Deciding to spend time at the beach, possibly for relaxation or introspection.
Make some babies
Suggesting the idea of creating a family and raising children.
Raise 'em up in the land of engineers
Choosing to nurture and raise children in a community dominated by engineers.
We'll put our roots down somewhere sandy
Planning to settle in a sandy location close to loved ones.
Close to all the people we hold dear
Emphasizing the importance of relationships with people held dear.
Maybe take a couple flights of fancy
Considering some adventurous possibilities but foreseeing a return to the land of engineers.
But we'll end up back in the land of engineers
Reiterating the inevitability of returning to a community dominated by engineers.
Seems like everything's gone hazy
Describing a sense of confusion or haziness in the speaker's life.
A thousand pounds of concrete between my ears
Feeling mentally burdened, possibly due to work or responsibilities.
I work so hard, and grow so lazy
Contrasting hard work with a growing sense of laziness, possibly indicating burnout.
Living in the land of engineers
Reflecting on the challenges of living in a community dominated by engineers.
The war machine is always hungry
Highlighting the insatiable nature of the war machine, possibly a metaphor for societal or personal challenges.
It feeds on all your most delicious fears
Suggesting that the war machine thrives on people's deepest fears.
But I'll keep my head down, take the money
Committing to endure challenges for financial gain while working in the land of engineers.
Working in the land of engineers
Accepting the trade-off of facing challenges for financial stability.
You don't ever have to grow up, baby
Encouraging a carefree attitude, avoiding the need to confront fears or responsibilities.
You won't ever need to face your fears
Promoting a perpetual state of avoidance and escape from facing fears.
Just buy a guitar, pretend like it's the eighties
Suggesting the idea of using music as a nostalgic escape, particularly to the '80s era.
Rockin' steady in the land of engineers
Embracing a laid-back lifestyle within the community dominated by engineers.
They're selling off the pieces of our kingdom
Expressing concern about the gradual dismantling or decay of their community.
Bit by bit we watch it disappear
Witnessing the gradual disappearance of their community, bit by bit.
Til there's nothing left but parking lots and freedom
Anticipating a future where the community is reduced to parking lots and the concept of freedom.
Saying goodbye to the land of engineers...
Acknowledging the inevitable farewell to the land of engineers due to its transformation.
