The Earth Isn't Humming (Frodus cover) Lyrics
I hear these times are the end
And another one must fall down
I don't think I believe it
When another one must fall down
Give us the distance
And another one will fall down
The sun in the open sky
Fall down, fall down
Stare back into my own eyes
Fall down, fall down
A stranger in my own skin
Fall down, fall down
One decade later
And another one must fall down
The Earth isn't humming
I watched them all fall down
Fell into the sound in front of me
Unchanged by those around
Directionless
An open sea
We'll watch as time tumbles down
The sun in the open sky
Fall down, fall down
Stare back into my own eyes
Fall down, fall down
Fall down, fall down
Fall down, fall down
Fall down, fall down
Fall down, fall down
And another one must fall down
I don't think I believe it
When another one must fall down
Give us the distance
And another one will fall down
Fall down, fall down
Stare back into my own eyes
Fall down, fall down
A stranger in my own skin
Fall down, fall down
And another one must fall down
The Earth isn't humming
I watched them all fall down
Unchanged by those around
Directionless
An open sea
We'll watch as time tumbles down
Fall down, fall down
Stare back into my own eyes
Fall down, fall down
Fall down, fall down
Fall down, fall down
Fall down, fall down
Fall down, fall down

Can't say i've ever heard the Frodus version (gonna grab it and give it a listen) but the Thrice cover of this is amazing. listened to it on BBC radio and wow... banjo and really catchy bass line. Simply awesome!
Cover version of a song by Frodus. This'll be on Thrice's upcoming Earth disc.
the title is quite possibly a reference to this:

Personally, I think it relates to a war. Possibly between the Korean and Vietnam war (One decade later/ And another one must fall down). I think its a child, or teenager living in a city during the time of war, and watches how buildings around him are collapsing.
"The sun in the open sky" could mean that he was living in a city, whose buildings are collapsing, and the horizon is now clear. He escapes the first war (before "decades later"), and while in his new home, another war starts, and he remembers his past.
"The earth isn't humming" could mean that his parents didn't want him to know what was going on, when he was young, and told him that the earth was humming.
