This song is FULL of meaning.

"god save us everyone we are broken people living under loaded gun"

  • refers the police state being constructed all around us, and the fact that the majority of the population has been lulled into submission.

"it can't be out matched, it can't be outdone, it cant be outfought it can't be out run"

  • refers the NWO being worldwide and the ushering in of the new political and belief system of one world government.

"when i close my eyes tonight to the symphony of blinding light"

obviously referring the bombing of nations throughout the night (perpetual war in the name of "peace")

"memories in cold decay transmissions echoing away" refers to free speech becoming a cold distant memory, especially online.

"far from the world of you and I, where oceans bleed into the sky." a world we can't understand where anything destitute can happen... like a BP oil spill making the ocean floor literally BLEED and evaporate crude oil and other hydro carbons into the sky!

"god save us everyone will we burn inside the fire of a thousand suns?" will we be engulffed by our own nuclear war we stared to destroy ourselves?

"for the sins of our tongue the sins of our touch the sins of our father the sins of our young" the selfish, self fullfilling lifestyle of the past few generations, combined with the ignorance of the newest generation.

"lift me up, let me go" (repeated over and over!) elevate your conscious, wake up, break free from the mind prison.

The entire song is a WARNING, meant to provoke a reaction and an awakening of the masses. a "catalyst" by definition is the key component to begin a reaction, with significant results.

Cheers.

Yes. When we are going through the agenda that is coming, communication will be null if anything.

This reminds me of the lyrics of Radio Nowhere by Bruce Springsteen if anyone wants to check those lyrics too.

Many artists are trying to prepare us...

I would say the whole album (which is one 47 minute song) is a warning of a catalyst. This is probably the most intense and most relevant part, and this is how I interpreted it (pretty similar to yours):

God bless us everyone We're a broken people living under a loaded gun And it can't be outfought It can't be outdone It can't be outmatched It can't be outrun No From the perspective of the innocent. The government is in charge as they prepare to destroy the world in weapons, with civilians having no way to avoid it. And when I close my eyes tonight To symphonies of blinding light (God...

The entire ALBUM is a warning. About NWO and nuclear warfare. :(
