Lyrics
An atomic wave is heading our way
An impending disaster, likened to an atomic wave, is approaching.
Your cancer treatment is the price we pay
The consequences of treating cancer are the burdens we bear collectively.
It doesn't cover the cost of our addiction
Cancer treatment doesn't address the true cost of our addictive behaviors.
Which doesn't add up to this affliction
The cumulative effects of our addictions don't make sense in the face of this suffering.
The shame of the lies you tell
Expressing shame about dishonesty.
The future is unwell
The future is bleak and unhealthy.
The shame of the lies you tell
Reiterating the shame associated with deceit.
Hear my rebel yell
A call for rebellion or resistance.
Tomorrow is already gone today
The future is lost, emphasizing the immediacy of the present.
I'm watching the sun just rot away
Observing the decay of the world, possibly metaphorically represented by the sun.
Tomorrows just a faded memory
Tomorrow holds only faded memories.
Full of regrets and wasted energy
Regret and wasted energy characterize the past.
The shame of the lies you sell
Reiterating shame related to deception.
The future you made is hell
The future created by falsehoods is a version of hell.
The shame of the lies you sell
Reemphasizing the negative consequences of dishonesty.
Hear my rebel yell
A repetition of the call for rebellion.
A nuclear wave is headed our way
A new impending disaster, possibly nuclear, is on the horizon.
Our chemo seasons is our price to pay
The seasons of undergoing chemotherapy symbolize the price society pays.
Tomorrow is no better than our yesterday
The future is no better than the past, suggesting a cycle of despair.
I'm watching the sun just rot away
Reiterating the observation of the world's decay, tying it to the sun's deterioration.
