Lyrics
I told you, ma
I assured you, mother
I'd keep you safe
I promised to protect you
When the sun expands to consume
When the sun expands and engulfs our burning house
Our house in flames
I thought we lived forever
I believed we would live eternally
A simple obstacle in the way
An uncomplicated obstacle appeared
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Encouraging to release and move on
It turns out that we are shit out of luck
Discovering we are out of luck
There are things in the woods that will prey
Warning about dangers in the woods
On the things that you love
These dangers will prey on what you cherish
And theyu0027ll come through the fold
They will breach the barrier
This is the sound of a wild pack of hungry wolves
Describing the ominous sound of a wild pack of wolves
I won't lie to you, it will be painful
Admitting the upcoming pain
It's in your nature to fear what is natural
Recognizing the instinctive fear of what is natural
And the sun will explode
Anticipating the sun's explosion
But not before you and everyone that youu0027ll ever know
Foretelling the end before the sun's explosion
(I told you all I'd keep you safe)
(Reiterating the promise to keep everyone safe)
Will be gone, long ago
Predicting a distant time when all will be gone
(I told I'd broke my back just trying to feel)
(Expressing personal sacrifice for the sake of feeling)
We are alone in this together
Acknowledging shared solitude
All alone in this together
Emphasizing being collectively alone
All alone
Reiterating aloneness
(Here it comes, here it goes
(Introducing a moment of impending change)
This is the sound of our hearts turning into stone
Describing the transformation of hearts into stone
We are alone in this together
Emphasizing shared solitude again
All alone in this together
Reiterating collective aloneness
All alone)
(Repeating the theme of isolation)
I haven't slept in several nights and I'm not tired
Sharing personal insomnia and lack of fatigue
Who protects the ones I love when I'm asleep?
Raising concern about protection during sleep
Though there's little I can do, I say a prayer
Expressing helplessness with a prayer
That when the wolves come for their share
Hoping that when danger comes, it will come for the speaker
They'll come for me
Expecting the wolves to target the speaker
