Lyrics
Here they come, we panic, scream and run (Oooh)
Expression of fear and chaos as an unidentified threat approaches.
And please beware, they'll kill without a care (oooh)
Warning about the dangerous nature of the approaching force, emphasizing their lack of empathy.
Clasp your hands and make some weather
Encouragement to take control and influence the situation through collective action.
Cause after all we live together
Highlighting the shared experience of coexistence despite challenges.
Soak up the ball, though which we're tethered
Suggesting resilience and adaptation by absorbing and dealing with the challenges represented by "the ball."
Close up this space, close up the nether
Call to unify and protect the space and the unknown ("nether") from the impending threat.
We stand worlds apart
Recognition of significant differences between individuals or groups.
It grows, this dark, the demons, and the sharks (oooh)
Acknowledgment of the growing intensity of darkness, demons, and dangers.
But once too tall, they'll crumble, it will fall (oooh)
Belief that even powerful forces will eventually crumble and fall.
Clasp your hands and make some weather
Reiteration of the call to take control and influence the situation through collective action.
Cause after all we live together
Reemphasizing the shared experience of coexistence despite challenges.
Soak up the ball, though which we're tethered
Encouragement to endure and manage the challenges represented by "the ball."
Close up this space, close up the nether
Repetition of the call to unify and protect the space from the impending threat.
We stand worlds apart
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of significant differences between individuals or groups.
We stand worlds apart
Repetition of the recognition of worlds apart, emphasizing separation.
I had a friend who told me that
Introduction of a personal story about a friend predicting the end of the world.
The world was going to end
Expressing the friend's belief in the imminent apocalypse.
He went to school to learn the law
Explanation of the friend's pursuit of legal education to defend against perceived threats.
So he could help defend
Illustration of the friend's intention to use legal knowledge to protect against the gathering danger.
"These wolves", he said, "are gathering,
Quoting the friend's description of the threat as wolves gathering.
They're meeting on a farm,
Specific location mentioned where the wolves are meeting, suggesting a planned event.
They'll start a revolution and they'll never take a part
Anticipation of a revolution initiated by the wolves, with a commitment to non-participation.
