Radiant City Lyrics
There's something inside this
Confusion we face
We marvel in silence
As time ticks away
Where's the ledge?
I can't touch it
But I feel it's so close
Where's the ledge?
I can't touch it
But I feel it's close
No one alive has taken me here
Nothing I've tried will replace your trick
If I ever choose to break in again
Promise me now you'll follow me in...
A moment of conscious
Then shocked to the head
Where's the ledge?
I can't touch it
But I feel it is so close
Where's the ledge?
Can't touch it
But I feel it's close
No one alive has taken me here
Nothing I tried replaced your tricks
Whenever I choose to break in again
Promise me now you will follow me in
'Cause nobody else cuts me the same
You've pulled me into a permanent trance
If you ever choose to break in again
I promise you now I'll follow you in
Promise you now... I'll follow in
Confusion we face
We marvel in silence
As time ticks away
I can't touch it
But I feel it's so close
Where's the ledge?
I can't touch it
But I feel it's close
Nothing I've tried will replace your trick
If I ever choose to break in again
Promise me now you'll follow me in...
A moment of conscious
Then shocked to the head
I can't touch it
But I feel it is so close
Where's the ledge?
Can't touch it
But I feel it's close
Nothing I tried replaced your tricks
Whenever I choose to break in again
Promise me now you will follow me in
'Cause nobody else cuts me the same
You've pulled me into a permanent trance
If you ever choose to break in again
I promise you now I'll follow you in
Promise you now... I'll follow in

I think this could be in reference to a sort of dystopian society if you will, a fictional society that imposes a harmful, oppressive, and miserable existence upon its members. It's the opposite of a utopian society, which is a fictional ideal society that couldn't be more perfect. The song is about the confounds of this world & the way it both imprisons and tricks its inhabitants in so many twisted ways.
As I’ve heard Stephen Carpenter is a flat-earther snd I’m unfortunately pretty sure, it’s what the song is about. He can feel the ledge, though he hasn’t seen that. He’s being fed lies etc.
