The Only Heirs Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The sun, it hasn't set yet
It's just gone behind the hill
We take the waning minutes
And wonder how and if we will
Keep all of the lights on
It's bright enough for now
You mocked my color blindness
But even I could tell
[Chorus]
Are you? Am I?
You and I, we are the only heirs
You and I, we are the only heirs
Are you? Am I?
You and I, we are the only heirs
You and I, we are the only heirs
[Verse 2]
Behind the jungle backdrop
The orange and green and pink
The kindly smiling waitress asks what you need to drink
The pilot lets the wheel go
These things can fly themselves
The less you do, the better
When the wind begins to wail
[Chorus]
Are you? Am I?
You and I, we are the only heirs
You and I, we are the only heirs
Are you? Am I?
You and I, we are the only heirs
You and I, we are the only heirs
[Bridge]
You want a better look, you're leaning on the railing
I know it ends, I just don't wanna know the ending
Let's live alone together, far from everything
I hear him howling, I hear 'em howling
You want a better look, you're leaning on the railing
I know it ends, I just don't wanna know the ending
Let's live alone together, far from everything
I hear him howling, I hear 'em howling
[Outro]
Are you? Am I?
You and I, we are the only heirs
You and I, we are the only heirs
The sun, it hasn't set yet
It's just gone behind the hill
We take the waning minutes
And wonder how and if we will
Keep all of the lights on
It's bright enough for now
You mocked my color blindness
But even I could tell
Are you? Am I?
You and I, we are the only heirs
You and I, we are the only heirs
Are you? Am I?
You and I, we are the only heirs
You and I, we are the only heirs
Behind the jungle backdrop
The orange and green and pink
The kindly smiling waitress asks what you need to drink
The pilot lets the wheel go
These things can fly themselves
The less you do, the better
When the wind begins to wail
Are you? Am I?
You and I, we are the only heirs
You and I, we are the only heirs
Are you? Am I?
You and I, we are the only heirs
You and I, we are the only heirs
You want a better look, you're leaning on the railing
I know it ends, I just don't wanna know the ending
Let's live alone together, far from everything
I hear him howling, I hear 'em howling
You want a better look, you're leaning on the railing
I know it ends, I just don't wanna know the ending
Let's live alone together, far from everything
I hear him howling, I hear 'em howling
Are you? Am I?
You and I, we are the only heirs
You and I, we are the only heirs

This song came on my old job all the time and only recently I found out what it’s called. I rarely pay attention but I feel like I’m the last one to figure this out lol.
It honestly sounds like they’re the only ones who can see past the lies we see as true. “The sun, it hasn’t set yet. It’s just gone beyond the hill.” The next two lines I honestly don’t know what it means yet. “Keep all of the lights on It's bright enough for now You mocked my color blindness But even I could tell” I’m probably gonna get this wrong but this sounds like it’s saying we’re short on our power source and we’ll soon forever run out. Yet truthfully, we have many sources and it’s just blindly following the majority. Mocking color blindness sounds more like mocking them for being literal about life rather than figuratively. And the chorus sounds like they and you are the only ones to see the truth; the only rightful rulers because they won’t turn lies into truth.
Although that’s what it sounds like to me. As weird as I sound, probably why I don’t pay attention to lyrics all the time lol.
