Lyrics
Hope springs eternal
Hope is enduring and persistent.
Until it floods
Hope persists until it becomes overwhelming or destructive.
Destroying everything
Destruction occurs, affecting everything.
But we're too fucking numb to fix it
Despite the destruction, people are emotionally desensitized and indifferent to fixing the issues.
In persistence
In the face of challenges, there is a commitment to continue and endure.
We paint the earth with blood
Metaphorical use of blood to depict the human cost or sacrifice in persisting.
Our suit of armor made to rust
Efforts to protect ourselves (armor) decay and weaken.
What's unfit to burn
Items or situations that should be discarded are kept, contributing to decay.
Through your apathetic eyes
The perspective of someone indifferent and unresponsive.
Just sit and wait your turn
Encouraging passivity, waiting without taking action.
You'll get what's yours and mine
Consequences will be faced, both what belongs to the individual and others.
You're not the guilty type
The person is not typically associated with guilt or wrongdoing.
How do you sleep at night?
Raising questions about moral conscience and inner peace.
With your finger on the trigger
A metaphorical reference to being ready to cause harm or take action.
And the world within your sights
Being in control and having a broad impact on the world.
So pessimistic are the chances that you'll let us survive
The likelihood of survival is viewed pessimistically.
Hope springs eternal
Reiteration of the enduring nature of hope.
Until it floods
Hope persists until it becomes overwhelming or destructive (repeated).
Destroying everything
Destruction occurs, affecting everything (repeated).
But we're too fucking numb to fix it
Despite the destruction, people are emotionally desensitized and indifferent to fixing the issues (repeated).
In persistence
In the face of challenges, there is a commitment to continue and endure (repeated).
We paint the earth with blood
Metaphorical use of blood to depict the human cost or sacrifice in persisting (repeated).
Our suit of armor made to rust
Efforts to protect ourselves (armor) decay and weaken (repeated).
