Lyrics
Where all of the children had played
Reflecting on a place where children used to play.
The wind is the only song
The wind is the only sound remaining in the deserted area.
They spirited the statues away
Statues have been removed mysteriously or forcefully.
Guess they weren't quiet enough
The removal of statues wasn't done quietly or discreetly.
Every card we stack
Every plan or effort made is like a card in a deck.
They won't be seen again
Whatever has been done won't be witnessed or acknowledged again.
Every steady hand
Any skillful or careful action is now lost or unnoticed.
They won't be seen again
Similar to line 6, emphasizing actions that won't be observed again.
Be it storm or the season
Regardless of challenges (storm or season), the results won't be visible.
They won't be seen again
Reiteration that the outcomes will remain hidden.
We should've known from the beginning
Expressing regret for not realizing the situation from the start.
They won't be seen again
Reiterating that the consequences won't come to light.
They're carrying the rubble away
Someone is clearing away the debris or remnants.
The tires embossing the dust
Tires leaving imprints on the dust, suggesting recent activity.
When I close my eyes I can see it
The narrator recalls the scene vividly when closing their eyes.
It's painted on the back of my eyelids
An image is etched in the narrator's memory, emphasizing its impact.
Every card we stack
Reiteration that actions, represented as cards, won't be observed again.
They won't be seen again
Continuing the theme that consequences will remain unseen.
Every steady hand
Repeating the idea that careful actions won't be acknowledged.
They won't be seen again
Emphasizing the disappearance of outcomes, similar to previous lines.
Be it storm or the season
Regardless of external factors, results will stay concealed.
They won't be seen again
Reiteration that the consequences won't be visible.
We better know from the beginning
A realization that the situation should have been understood earlier.
They won't be seen again
Repeating that the outcomes won't come to light.
Every card we stack
Restating that actions, symbolized as cards, won't be witnessed again.
They won't be seen again
Continuing the theme that consequences will remain unseen.
Every steady hand
Emphasizing that skillful actions won't be recognized or remembered.
They won't be seen again
Reiterating the idea that outcomes won't be observed or acknowledged.
Be it storm or the season
Despite challenges, the results will stay hidden or unnoticed.
They won't be seen again
Reiteration that the consequences won't be visible.
We better know from the beginning
Reaffirming the regret for not realizing the situation earlier.
They won't be seen again
Final repetition that the outcomes will remain unseen.
