Cover art for The Failsafe lyrics by Misery Signals

this song is about the end of the world and how people are just waiting around not trying to stop it.... and they line up at the edge waiting for a sign... not doing anything about it themselves.. and how in the midst of everything.. they get scared and take their own lives

I agree with this.. that's exactly what comes to mind when I listen to/read the lyrics. There was some sort of apocalypse, and this group of people are waiting for a sign from God. Even in these dire moments they still keep faith. I think it's almost a double meaning.. hope is a very powerful weapon for humanity, it can lead to blindness and not accepting a situation for what it is, but it can also push us to keep going and to survive when it seems like all is lost.
