Parade
Embracing Chaos: Finding Serenity Amidst Turmoil
Lyrics
Right when the blizzard ends, they throw a fucking huge parade
Right when the blizzard ends, a celebratory parade begins, emphasizing the aftermath of chaos.
A great excuse for celebration of the mess they've made
The parade serves as a justification for rejoicing in the consequences of their own mistakes.
But then when the streets get flooded, we know what proximity's worth
Despite the flood in the streets, the value of proximity becomes evident, especially when communication fails.
'cause we're already here, in the same place when our phones don't work
Being in the same physical place gains significance when technology, represented by phones, is unreliable.
So then we lie down in our field and just do nothing at all
Lying down in a field symbolizes a passive state, anticipating a positive future.
And i'm getting ready for when everything is wonderful
Preparation for an ideal future when everything is wonderful is underway.
For just a couple pairs of broken bones with broken feathers in blood
Broken bones and feathers suggest enduring hardship in an untouched and understood meadow.
In a meadow, uncut and understood
The meadow represents a sanctuary, unspoiled and comprehended.
We can be an island apart from a ceaseless war on our heart
Being an island implies separation from an ongoing emotional conflict.
Harbored in a fortress insurmountable
A fortress is described as insurmountable, providing safety amid adversity.
Taller than affliction, safe wherever we are
The fortress is taller than affliction, emphasizing its protective nature.
Erasing horror and disgust
Erasing horror and disgust suggests a desire to eliminate negative emotions and experiences.
Rewinding the sorrow and the rust
Rewinding sorrow and rust symbolizes a wish to undo past pain and deterioration.
Before our suffering's suffering, hadn't we suffered enough?
Questioning whether the current suffering is necessary after having endured enough.
On the morning that we're both 19 and newly on our own
A transition to a specific time in life, being 19 and independent, with a focus on each other and invisible homes.
And all we know is "each other" and invisible homes
The exclusivity of their knowledge being limited to each other and intangible homes is highlighted.
We find two empty seats in the back of a car in an empty parking lot
Finding empty seats in a deserted car and parking lot symbolizes isolation and abandonment of connections.
Where all our bridges are abandoned and the cops have forgot
The desolation of bridges and the absence of police indicate a detachment from societal norms.
And I can feel the difference when the day begins
Sensing a difference at the beginning of the day, expressing optimism for a victorious year.
Like all I know is, "this year will be the year we win."
An anticipation that the current year will bring success and triumph.
We smoke the paper from the banner from our past parades
Burning the remnants of past parades signifies a fresh start before the memory of past mistakes sets in.
And start again, before the memory of the mess we've made
Initiating anew, emphasizing the need to move forward without dwelling on past errors.
