Cover art for The Flood lyrics by Take That

Oh my,

Well this is my meaning about this song

Like maybe its describing the war against the nazies, or something, like:

Standing, on the edge of forever,(the battlefield) At the start of whatever, Shouting love at the world.(idk, defending the motherland?) Back then, we were like cavemen,(brutal war) We'd beam at the moon and the stars, Then we forgave them.(today it's forgiven)

We will meet you where the lights are, The defenders, of the faith we are. Where the thunder turns around they'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away.(when the tide turns, the reinforcments come, bluh, bluh...)

You know no one dies, in these love drowned eyes,(they don't consider themselves killers, only doing the mission) Through our love drowned eyes, we'll watch you sleep tonight.(defend, watch while you sleep)

Although no one understood we were holding back the flood,(well back tehn the nazies where realy like a flood, they meant buissnes) Learning how to dance the rain.(idk, rain of bullets) We were holding back the flood they said we'd never dance again.(many parents thought it's over, their kids are dead... but NO!)

Bleeding, but none of us leaving,(many injured, many dead, but stiil holding the charge) Watch your mouth son or you'll find yourself floating home.(isn't that logical?) Here we come now on a dark star, seeing demons, not what we are.(seeing nazies and their stuff) Tiny minds and eager hands will try to strike but now will end today.(nazies)

There's progress now where there once was none, where there once was not, then everything came along.(logic)

Although no one understood, we were holding back the flood learning how to dance the rain. There was more of them than us now they'll never dance again.(There was more of them, perhaps the fear factor, + the size, but they were beaten.)

Although no one understood there was more of them than us learning how to dance the rain, We were holding back the flood they said we'd never dance again.

We will meet you where the lights are, The defenders, of the faith we are. Where the thunder turns around they'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away.

Although no one understood, there was more of them than us learning how to dance the rain. (learning how to dance the rain) There was more of them than us now they'll never dance again.

Now we'll never dance again.(the war is over.)
