Modern History
Timeless Echoes: Unveiling the Legacy of Modern History
Lyrics
Well the desk porter laughed
Receptionist chuckled
News of our legend and our exploits
Stories about our fame and achievements
Travelled far
Spread widely
From bell-hop to hired car
From bellboy to chauffeur
All this and more
All these experiences and more
Modern History
Reflection on contemporary events
On the third floor
Located on the third floor
So is this where he died?
Questioning if this is where someone passed away
Spend your life cutting up words
Spending life dissecting language with a knife
With a knife
Metaphor for introspective exploration
I light a candle for each night
Symbolic act of remembrance for each night
You waste your life
Critique of wasting one's life
Modern History
Reflection on contemporary events
On the third floor
Located on the third floor
Well they're never gonna forget us
Assurance that their fame will endure
We're the most famous
Acknowledgment of being widely known
People that they know
Stating their prominence
Went to a party
Attended a gathering
I didn't say a word
Silence at the party
You don't know how lucky you were
Reflecting on the luckiness of someone
You don't know how lucky you are
Reiteration of the person's luck
So we set fire to your room
Set fire to a room
And we bandaged up your
Provided care for wounded hands and arms
hands and your arms - now
Questioning the disappearance of beauty
Where's your beauty gone
Loss of attractiveness
Modern History
Reflection on contemporary events
On the third floor
Located on the third floor
