This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
It began, it was a beautiful day
Two hands, two feet
We grabbed everything we'd like to eat
You grabbed the crackers, I grabbed the pop
We found trees, and then we shut up
It’s a lonely time to be young
It’s a lonely time
Then it was night, we heard the sound of machines
You started crying, I cracked another pop
There was screeching and searching
Screeching, they’re looking for us
There was screeching and searching
Screeching, they’re looking for us
It’s a lonely time to be young
It’s a lonely time
It’s a window, a window, it's a window
It’s a window, a window, it's a window
So we left our wonderful tree
Two hands, two feet
And the searchlights, they found both of us
You went first, I started to run
It’s a lonely time to be young
It’s a lonely time
Cornfields, Indiana breeze
It’s hard to fight, when you’re against machines
Cornfields, Indiana breeze
It’s a window, a window, it's a window
It’s a window, a window, it's a window
Two hands, two feet
Two hands, two feet
Two hands, two feet
Two hands
Two hands, two feet
We grabbed everything we'd like to eat
You grabbed the crackers, I grabbed the pop
We found trees, and then we shut up
It’s a lonely time to be young
It’s a lonely time
Then it was night, we heard the sound of machines
You started crying, I cracked another pop
There was screeching and searching
Screeching, they’re looking for us
There was screeching and searching
Screeching, they’re looking for us
It’s a lonely time to be young
It’s a lonely time
It’s a window, a window, it's a window
It’s a window, a window, it's a window
So we left our wonderful tree
Two hands, two feet
And the searchlights, they found both of us
You went first, I started to run
It’s a lonely time to be young
It’s a lonely time
Cornfields, Indiana breeze
It’s hard to fight, when you’re against machines
Cornfields, Indiana breeze
It’s a window, a window, it's a window
It’s a window, a window, it's a window
Two hands, two feet
Two hands, two feet
Two hands, two feet
Two hands
