Rewinding to Love: A Poetic Plea for America's Soul
Lyrics
Can't ignore the sign posts and everyone is dreading the news
Recognition of warning signs, collective apprehension about impending news.
Yeah, we're torn apart, torn apart at the seams, what can we do?
Expressing the feeling of being deeply divided, seeking a solution.
Oh, America the beautiful, Oh, America the lost
An acknowledgment of the beauty and a sense of loss in America.
When you fly the flag, fly the flag so damn high, you cover up the cost
Commentary on patriotism, raising the flag high but ignoring hidden costs.
Settle down, be patient, while you're screaming and waving your gun around
Call for patience amidst chaos and urging restraint despite the presence of weapons.
Settle down, be sure that every cut you make tears you down
Encouraging self-reflection, cautioning against actions that harm oneself.
There is nothing that I wouldn't do
Expressing a strong commitment to preserving beauty and truth.
To stop the slow death of beauty and truth,
Concern about the gradual erosion of beauty and truth.
I'm just reminding you, gotta rewind back to love to save the day
Highlighting the importance of returning to love as a solution.
Another lonely night, a hungry soul feeding on the rage
Describing a night filled with loneliness and anger.
Oh, the paradise of America, where are you?
Questioning the current state of America as a paradise.
Why can't we turn the page?
Expressing a desire for change, a need to move forward.
Settle down, don't let your little temper
Advising against letting anger control actions.
Live it up and kick you around
Cautioning against mistreating others when enjoying life.
Settle down, be sure that every life you take comes back to town
Stressing consequences for one's actions affecting the community.
There is nothing that I wouldn't do
Reiterating a strong commitment to preserving beauty and truth.
To stop the slow death of beauty and truth,
Concern about the gradual erosion of beauty and truth.
I'm just reminding you, gotta rewind back to love to save the day
Emphasizing the need to return to love as a solution.
The dead roses gave us away
Symbolic reference to withered roses revealing hidden truths.
America the beautiful, America the lost
Repeating the acknowledgment of beauty and loss in America.
When you fly that flag so high you cover up the cost
Reiteration of the theme of patriotism masking hidden costs.
No, I'm not doing you any favors
Rejecting the idea of doing favors, emphasizing personal responsibility.
And I'm a million miles from being a savior
Denying the role of a savior, acknowledging limitations.
I'm just reminding you, I'm rewinding back to love to save the day
Reiterating the importance of returning to love to bring positive change.
There is nothing that I wouldn't do
Strong commitment to preserving beauty and truth, echoing earlier lines.
To stop the slow death of beauty and truth,
Concern about the gradual erosion of beauty and truth, echoing earlier lines.
I'm just reminding you, gotta rewind back to love to save the day
Emphasizing the need to return to love as a solution, echoing earlier lines.
All the prophecies got in the way
Reference to obstacles hindering the realization of prophecies.
Settle down, As we drive all night out of the cold
Encouraging calmness during a challenging journey through hardships.
Settle down, Have faith that paradise ain't made of gold
Advising to have faith that paradise isn't easily attainable.
Settle down, As we drive all night out of the cold

Settle down, Have faith that paradise ain't made of gold
