Goodbye Desolate Railyard Lyrics
It's rolling
So goodbye lovely train tracks
And goodbye broken trees
The devil poured his concrete
'Cross all our empty fields
From shadows across our sunrise
And sand beneath our wheels
So goodbye lovely warehouse
And goodbye sleeping weeds
Your beauty was a shining thing
That fell away from me
Everybody gets a little lost sometimes...
And goodbye broken trees
The devil poured his concrete
'Cross all our empty fields
From shadows across our sunrise
And sand beneath our wheels
So goodbye lovely warehouse
And goodbye sleeping weeds
Your beauty was a shining thing
That fell away from me
KingJelle is correct, I think. And I believe it is less environmentalist/anarchist; this is simply farewell to an almost childhood-like friend. It makes me, personally, think about this old community center near where I used to live. Me and my friends used to hang out there, but I went back a few years ago and found that they had torn it down. Same feelings of loss, but inevitable loss, kind of mixing.
I think this song is referring to the possible mindset of people looking back on their old industrial lifestyles after an anarchist revolution.
It's about the place where they used to go with GY!BE to get inspiration, which is destroyed now
it is a sarcastic view on how people destroy nature by building cities.
