We've woken up alone
No song to sing us off the edge
The speakers are blown
This planet is an orphanage
Deep abandonment issues at our core
But if not each other, there's fuck all
to really keep hustling for.
Ain't got no ride
Least not one that returns our message
Our parents aside
This planet is an orphanage
And it cheapens us
The way you and I torment each other
It's just the way we combine
To me, the chorus seems to be about how there isn't a god to guide us, and our collective struggle to cope with this fact. The only reason we live is for each other, yet our cultures often clash violently out of frustration and a refusal to acknowledge our solitude in this world. We're all orphaned by a god who'll never answer our message or give us a ride to another life/world.
