Nothing Else Lyrics
My angel clipped wings I know
Wonders in darkness on grimey ground
In a forest unclean unsound
Everything everything's gone wild
Make land for the cows to graze
Leaflets scatter around to advertise sell out
A swamp in it hands stretched out
To catch a passing dime
Donations to the rich widened
Pavements for the poor
Somewhere else to lie
But my friend the carriage door
Stands slightly ajar
And I know clipped wings make uneasy flight
But we've got to reach
Chorus :
A place where the feast never ends
A moment when the music celebrates
And a time when darkness belongs
To night skies and nothing else
Nothing else -No-
Tomorrow my spirit seen
Fears today my mind
Soul aches so deep
Always craves my body to reach
( Repeat Chorus )
Wonders in darkness on grimey ground
In a forest unclean unsound
Everything everything's gone wild
Make land for the cows to graze
Leaflets scatter around to advertise sell out
To catch a passing dime
Donations to the rich widened
Pavements for the poor
Somewhere else to lie
But my friend the carriage door
Stands slightly ajar
And I know clipped wings make uneasy flight
But we've got to reach
A moment when the music celebrates
And a time when darkness belongs
To night skies and nothing else
Nothing else -No-
Fears today my mind
Soul aches so deep
Always craves my body to reach

This is an amazing song... I'm surprised it has no comments.
It almost seems like it starts off describing a dark place, as if they're stuck in a shitty situation with a very bleak outlook. But then with the chorus, if you look at is as including the previous line, "We've got to reach a place where the feast never ends" and "a time when darkness belongs to night skies and nothing else". It sounds like she's saying we've gotta kinda hold our head up and press forward until we find a better life, until we find happiness. Dakrness belonging to the night sky and nothign else, I would imagine means basically that our lives aren't filled with darkness. the 'darkness' is all way off in the sky, away from us, not touching or polluting our lives. tl;dr we're in a hell hole now, but if we hold on and don't give up, everythign will get better.
I think the song is about human mankind industrializing, destroying nature just for the need to reach pefection and happiness in life. Land has been roded and pluged. The earth is ready for "sellout". And why all this? To become rich ("catch a passing dime") and increase human's wealth. Industrialization shall make us worry no more, celebrate life. All the things we feared will be gone. If only the world would be so perfect.
