Latter Days
Navigating Despair: The Prophetic Tale of Latter Days by The Middle Eight
Lyrics
What do we have,
Expressing a contemplation on the current situation or possessions.
Left in which we can hope to depend?
Questioning the reliability of remaining resources to rely on.
Our supplies at an end,
Indicating a depletion of supplies.
And all the anchors that hold us are dead.
Metaphorically referring to lost support or stability.
And in this dire time line,
Describing a critical moment in time.
Will we all trip off the edge?
Pondering whether everyone will face a crisis.
Or like the globe we sit on,
Comparing the situation to the Earth's precarious state.
Can we wander to no end?
Questioning the possibility of endless wandering or exploration.
Oh, latter days, latter days, latter days, latter days,
Repetition emphasizing a concern for future times.
No, ain't shit craze, can't help to replace.
Rejecting the idea that current difficulties are just a passing trend.
I can see why,
Recognizing and understanding the reasons for suffering.
We have suffered from time out of mind.
Highlighting a long history of enduring hardships.
This dramatic descend,
Characterizing the descent into difficult circumstances as dramatic.
Is turning into a passion in rare.
Transforming challenges into a source of passion or determination.
And in this dire time line,
Repeating the earlier reflection on a critical moment in time.
Will we all trip off the edge?
Revisiting the possibility of a collective crisis.
Or like the globe we sit on,
Recalling the Earth metaphor, wondering about limitless possibilities.
Can we wander to no end?
Questioning the potential for endless exploration.
Oh, latter days, latter days, latter days, latter days,
Reiteration for emphasis on the concern for future times.
No, ain't shit craze, can't help to replace.
Reemphasizing the rejection of current challenges being a passing trend.
(We're safe)
Inserting a brief reassurance that "we're safe" amidst uncertainties.
Oh, latter days, latter days, latter days, latter days,
Repetition of concern for future times, suggesting ongoing unease.
No, ain't shit craze, can't help to replace.
Reiterating the rejection of the idea that challenges are temporary.
Oh, latter days, latter days, latter days, latter days,
Final repetition emphasizing the persistent concern for the future.
No, ain't shit craze, can't help to replace.
Reaffirming the rejection of the notion that challenges are fleeting.
