"What to do, oh
What to do
When the walls are built to crumble."
--- MAN is born into ORIGINIAL SIN, meaning we are born sinful and built to crumble from the beginning or birth.
"There's a mad man with a mad plan
And he waits for us to stumble."
---SATAN always is looking for us to stumble thru SIN allowing him to come in & destroy, corrupt & take your SOUL.
"Oh, but our eyes are open
Yeah, they're really open"
Aaron is stating that HE or CHRISTIANS will not be fooled by the great deceiver (SATAN=MADMAN) As once you accept CHRIST in your life you know the TRUTH.
"I say we rob from the rich
And blow down the door.
On to the next
To dance with the poor."
---DANCE with POOR refers to how CHRIST came for the poor to preach the good news (Luke 7:22 New International Version
So he replied to the messengers, "Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are
cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.)
"Jump on my shoulders.
You can jump on my shoulders."
---This reference is from the Poem - Footprints in the Sand:
The Lord replied,
‘The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you.’
"Live in the water
I'm scared of the city
Stay in the water
I'm scared of the city
Live in the water
I'm scared of the city."
---LIVE IN THE WATER is referring to John 4:14 New International Version
but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
---IM SCARED OF THE CITY could possibly reference the ESSENES a sect of Jews that lived in the desert, not seeking desires of the city. The Dead Sea Scrolls are a testament and the oldest word of God attributed to the Essenes. (http://www.fsmitha.com/h1/ch19.htm)
---STAY IN THE WATER obviously refers to stay in CHRIST, and be a model image of him,(i.e. Christian)
"It's not supposed to be easy
That's why it feels so fucking good."
---God states that being a CHRISTIAN will not be easy and Satan will constantly try to deceive and destroy us. But if we do it FEELS F'ING GOOD!!! (It's taken me 40+yrs to realize this FACT)
Aaron Bruno is a lyrical GENIUS! I am constantly amazed how this ALT artist never claims to be an outright CHRISTIAN. But if you follow what he is truly saying, ALL of his SONGs are CHRISTIAN in nature IMHO.
@lewis72tx YES!!! Thank God someone else is hearing the gospel in Aaron's lyrics (almost all of his songs)! Once you hear it, it's so obvious! It's stunningly beautiful. Love it - thank you Aaron! God bless you <3

"There's a mad man looking at you And he wants to take your soul."
---The MADMAN is SATAN who is always trying to literally take your SOUL.
"There's a mad man with a mad plan And he's dancing at your door."
---SATAN is always dancing at our door as God gave him dominion ove the earth until Christ comes again.

"Everybody it's OK if You're mad at what I'm saying. Make peace, baby shake my hand 'cause I'm pretty sure I'm staying."
--- Aaron is stating his FAITH IN CHRIST sustains him and he will live eternal life (staying)
"I'll say the devils lost control"
--- Accepting Christ is the first human act of the DEVIL LOSING CONTROL of your life! (http://www.tscpulpitseries.org/english/1990s/ts991227.html)
