Good News
Yearning for Light: The Carbons' Anthem in Dark Times
Lyrics
The neighbourhood is on fire
The neighborhood is experiencing turmoil or crisis.
I can see the beacons
The distress signals or warnings are visible.
Flashing on my curtains
Indications of trouble are vividly displayed on the curtains.
But all I hear is a choir
Despite the chaos, the predominant sound is a choir, possibly symbolizing collective voices or distractions.
Drowning out the sirens
The choir is overpowering the sounds of emergency sirens.
Coming from the garden
The source of the choir is the garden, a metaphorical place of peace or innocence.
Singing I can't breath
A plea reflecting the difficulty in breathing, possibly metaphorical for the overwhelming situation.
I can't breath
-I can't breath
-Give me some good news

I need some good news
-Give me some good news
-Somebody, somebody please
An additional plea for positive news, emphasizing the desperation.
The TV man is a liar
Critical view of the TV as a source, implying misinformation or deceit.
Whether you're blue or red
The news outlets, irrespective of political leanings, are not trustworthy.
They're just talking heads
-The situation is dire
The overall situation is extremely serious or urgent.
They light the gasoline
People in power take advantage while the public is isolated.
While we're quarantined
-And now I can't leave

I can't leave

Down the rabbit hole we go

Doubting everything we know
Doubt and skepticism are pervasive, challenging established knowledge.
'Till we're aiming and shooting our shadows
A metaphorical act of attacking one's own shadows, possibly symbolizing internal conflicts.
Aiming and shooting our shadows
