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.
In the darkest of nights,
The city of lights
Will pour unto us.
Creeping inside
Through our sleepy eyes,
Contagiously bright
Like sunlight and rain
Flooding through the veins
Of wilted vines.
But love travels like a rumor here,
Losing form with every ear,
A skeleton of something more.
But waking seems an awful dream.
We'll be waiting for the night,
Waiting for the night
To come and rescue us,
Feet off the ground.
Beaides, we're living in this house of cards
That pulls and pushes with the air.
Fearing a feather to the earth
Could destroy it and us,
Inside unaware!
All we want is something more
To dream about and to adore.
All we need is a little place
To close our eyes, to end this chase.
The living are moving,
Gracefully
And painfully rushing ahead,
While unraveling the most essential thread
Of the fabric that covers us.
We'll be waiting for the night,
Waiting for the night
To always come and rescue us,
Feet off the ground,
Our hearts become magnetized.
The warmth of the sun
Is melting the snowflakes
Before they hit the ground.
The city of lights
Will pour unto us.
Creeping inside
Through our sleepy eyes,
Contagiously bright
Like sunlight and rain
Flooding through the veins
Of wilted vines.
But love travels like a rumor here,
Losing form with every ear,
A skeleton of something more.
But waking seems an awful dream.
We'll be waiting for the night,
Waiting for the night
To come and rescue us,
Feet off the ground.
Beaides, we're living in this house of cards
That pulls and pushes with the air.
Fearing a feather to the earth
Could destroy it and us,
Inside unaware!
All we want is something more
To dream about and to adore.
All we need is a little place
To close our eyes, to end this chase.
The living are moving,
Gracefully
And painfully rushing ahead,
While unraveling the most essential thread
Of the fabric that covers us.
We'll be waiting for the night,
Waiting for the night
To always come and rescue us,
Feet off the ground,
Our hearts become magnetized.
The warmth of the sun
Is melting the snowflakes
Before they hit the ground.
