Lyrics

You say they will get you anyway

You believe that external forces will catch up with you eventually.

Cause they've got pretty tricks to make you stay

These forces use attractive methods to make you remain in a situation.

When all turns out to be unjust

When everything proves to be unfair or unjust.

Then I'll turn back and help you out

I will turn around and assist you when you're in need.


But the two of us knew that the urban structure fitted so much

Both of us understood that the city's structure suited us well.

better with the drugs and the sick little goings on so I have come just to

The urban setting aligns with drug use and questionable activities, prompting my visit.

check on your injuries and make believe that you're running out of time

I am checking on your wounds and pretending that you're running out of time.


But you can't feel it

You are unable to sense it.

Or slightly move it

Or make even slight movements.

Or even touch it

You can't even touch it.

So better burn down the town hall

Therefore, it's better to destroy significant places like the town hall.

the corn fields

Destroy the corn fields as well.

the tower blocks

Also, demolish the tower blocks.

and secret paths

Eliminate secret paths.

the main roads

Get rid of the main roads.

and skater parks

And skater parks too.

the public pools

Destroy public pools.

and dead end school yards

Demolish dead-end school yards.

The train rides to any club night

Stop taking train rides to club nights.

We fall too long just to stay along wishes

We endure hardships for an extended period just to hold onto our desires.
