Nuclear Warming
Falling into Flames: The Dance of Humanity and Catastrophe
Lyrics
Caught in the eye of a hurricane
Caught in the midst of a challenging situation
Where nothing seems to happen and we're feeling no pain
Experiencing a lack of progress or change without pain
Well you jumped off a cliff in a plane without wings
Taking a risky leap into the unknown
The falling felt like flying so we celebrate a little too soon
Perceiving the fall as a momentary success and celebrating prematurely
Yes we're going down
Acknowledging a descent or failure
We're going down in flames
Facing a significant downfall or crisis
What a shame
Expressing regret or disappointment
Who's to blame?
Questioning responsibility for the situation
Leaving your carbon footprint in the sand
Leaving a lasting negative impact on the environment
You know everybody wants to leave their mark on the world
Desire for recognition and influence on the world
Well the heat off the asphalt distorting the air
Heat from urban development affecting perception and opportunities
Makes the visibility of possibilities come in clear
Clarity of potential outcomes due to environmental changes
Yes we're going down
Reiteration of a downward trajectory or failure
We're going down in flames
Emphasizing the intensity of the downfall
What a shame
Repeating the sentiment of regret or disappointment
Who's to blame?
Reiterating the inquiry into responsibility
Well you're caught in the eye of a hurricane
Revisiting the challenging situation metaphorically
Where nothing seems to happen and we're feeling no pain
Restating the lack of progress or change
Well you jumped off a cliff in a plane without wings
Re-emphasizing the risky leap into the unknown
The falling felt like flying so we celebrate a little too soon
Reiterating the premature celebration of temporary success
Yes we're going down
Reiterating the acknowledgment of descent or failure
We're going down in flames
Reiterating the intensity of the downfall
What a shame
Repeating the expression of regret or disappointment
Who's to blame?
Repeating the questioning of responsibility
You can run and hide
Highlighting the attempt to escape challenges
Running far and wide
Emphasizing the attempt to avoid problems
But you can't escape your mind
Stressing the inability to escape one's thoughts or problems
Unless you're blind
Suggesting that ignoring issues requires deliberate ignorance
What a shame
Reiterating regret or disappointment in the situation
Who's to blame?
Reiterating the question of responsibility for the outcome
It's a game
Describing the situation as a game with uncertain outcomes
