Lyrics
Remembering the days
Reflecting on past times
When we were still here
Recalling a period when the speaker and others were present
Watching the world collapse
Witnessing the collapse of the world
In front of our eyes
Observing the disintegration directly
When all fell down
Referring to a moment of downfall or crisis
You disappeared
Someone important disappeared
You left us here to die
Addressing abandonment and vulnerability
But we are still alive
Despite challenges, the speaker and others survived
But barely breathing the air
Survivors are struggling for breath
We're still standing here
Asserting resilience and continued presence
You took everything away from us
Expressing loss of everything - lives, homes, families
Our lives, our homes, our families
Highlighting the extent of the losses suffered
And erased every trace of truth
Accusing someone of removing all evidence of reality
Stop lying and come clean
Calling for honesty and transparency
We recognize the words you say to us
Recognizing familiar but unhelpful words from a person
They always sound the same
Noting repetition of empty phrases
You repeat them over and over again
Questioning the lack of substance in communication
Do you have anything else to say?
Challenging the person for meaningful dialogue
Why did we trust in you?
Reflecting on misplaced trust in someone
When people need you most
Exploring disappointment when needed help is absent
They turn to you
Describing a situation where people turn to the absent person
But you don't respond
Highlighting the lack of response in times of need
We feel lost in this cruel world
Expressing feeling lost in a harsh reality
You are our guidance
Describing the absent person as a guiding figure
The light in the dark
Emphasizing their importance as a source of light
A hope, a fraud
Suggesting a mix of hope and deception
We're still standing
Reiterating resilience and continued existence
Still standing
Affirming persistent survival despite challenges
