Nuclear Decay Lyrics
Acid rain fall down the whole day
and the sunlight is a distant thought
Few survivors. Desperation
living in a post-atomic world
With a neverending winter
and few synthesized pills for food
it's the first day of a world dead
killed by wars killed by you
yellow rivers saturated by trash
pouring into a big toxic lake
World disorder. Alteration
People watching just behind their masks
trapped down by our madness
into sewers like some water rats
no way to turn back babe
no way back
Nuclear Decay. Altered fate.
Living just underground, underneath
Buried alive and down on our knees
it's a jungle made of rotten flesh
desolation roaming over lands
of destruction and infection
spreading all around the world so fast
we can only try to fly back
into memories to find some rest
no way to turn back babe
no way back
Nuclear Decay. Altered fate.
Living just underground, underneath
No more to save. Atomic days.
Buried alive and down on our knees
and the sunlight is a distant thought
Few survivors. Desperation
living in a post-atomic world
With a neverending winter
and few synthesized pills for food
it's the first day of a world dead
killed by wars killed by you
pouring into a big toxic lake
World disorder. Alteration
People watching just behind their masks
trapped down by our madness
into sewers like some water rats
no way back
Living just underground, underneath
Buried alive and down on our knees
desolation roaming over lands
of destruction and infection
spreading all around the world so fast
we can only try to fly back
into memories to find some rest
no way back
Living just underground, underneath
No more to save. Atomic days.
Buried alive and down on our knees

Sounds like the result of a nuclear war. Basically, the Earth is screwed and people are forced into living underground because living above ground has become dangerous. They have to rely on synthesised pills for food because there is nowhere to grow plants or raise animals. The air is so toxic that people need to wear masks. Unfortunately, there is no way to reverse the effects the nuclear war has had, and the only way to they can find rest is by remembering what life was like before the war. Kind of scary really.
Yeah I think that's what it's about too...really frightening post-apocalyptic visions of the Earth after a destructive nuclear war. I could never really understand the lyrics until I looked them up. They're really well written. These songs have a lot more meaning to me now.
