Lost Perfection: b) Anablephobia Lyrics
Clowns now appear.
They're carrying knvies and cups of gasoline.
"Tonight is our death." then begin to slash each other.
Clowns now appear,
They're carrying knvies and cups of gasoline.
"Tonight is our death." the skies open up, the flames pour in.
The world watched in awe.
Mesmerize.
The skies open up, the flames pour in...
The world watched in awe.
Mesmerize.
Death is in the air.
The three adults once again start talking.
They ask questions of faith and love.
"We shall live past these days, rid of all we've done."
I see what they mean now,
But the wretched smell has overcome, I am gone...
The baby born with the end of the world.
Awake... Awake... Awake... Awake...
(The five of us haven't spoken in hours.
Sitting alone to our own thoughts.
Only we will know what strange things boredom has created.)
They're carrying knvies and cups of gasoline.
"Tonight is our death." then begin to slash each other.
Clowns now appear,
They're carrying knvies and cups of gasoline.
"Tonight is our death." the skies open up, the flames pour in.
The world watched in awe.
Mesmerize.
The skies open up, the flames pour in...
The world watched in awe.
Mesmerize.
The three adults once again start talking.
They ask questions of faith and love.
"We shall live past these days, rid of all we've done."
I see what they mean now,
But the wretched smell has overcome, I am gone...
The baby born with the end of the world.
Awake... Awake... Awake... Awake...
Sitting alone to our own thoughts.
Only we will know what strange things boredom has created.)

I just know Anablephobia is the fear of looking up.
I do believe that this song contains THE SICKEST breakdown ever found in captivity. God fucking damn, that shit is pretty much a trainwreck.
Continuing from 'Lost Perfection," the three adults continue to plan a mission to save the world (which ultimately fails, hence the world ending).
"We shall live past these days, rid of all we've done."
This line means that they are trying to survive, but the second part is really saying that the end of the world is THEIR fault. Digging into the lyrics later in the BTBAM discography, you'd see that these are the people who destroyed the world. The whole song "Prequel to the Sequel" talks about 3 HUMANS who eventually destroy the world after plundering all of its love and resources. The whole Parallax series and even some songs off of The Great Misdirect (Fossil Genera for sure) tell the rest of this story.
