And the walls of my house are so thick I hear nothing at all. I followed you out in the storm but it carried you off. And I burned every picture of yours was that not enough? My gun is bigger than yours So let’s arm the masses and see what the bastards do then. Walking tall once set us apart now we’re down on all fours. Do you cry my name in the dark like I do yours? [Chorus 1] These storms are getting stronger now trusses all bend and sway. Lightning hits the power goes out in the fray. As the waves crash high and the shoreline disappears I will scream to the sky: "Hey people live here!" [Interlude] ’ | | | x2 [Verse 2] My dreams are not unlike yours   They long for the safety and break like a glass chandelier. But there’s laughter and oh there is love just past the edge of our fears. And there is chaos when push comes to shove but it’s music to my ears. [Chorus 2] May you be in heaven before the devil knows you’re dead. May these winds be always at your back. ’Cause when we’re all just ghosts and the madness overtakes us We will look at the ashes and say: "People lived here." [Bridge] G^ | | | x2 From the penthouse to the holy martyr Sea to shining sea From the coffins full of kindergartners Is this what you call free? From the hate that drips from all your crosses Are your hands so clean? And the wildfire it is spreading far From sea to shining sea. [End] When we’re all just ghosts and the madness overtakes us F^                        G^ I will scream to the sky yeah I’ll scream to the sky F^                                 G*                   Am Yeah I’ll scream to the sky: "Hey people live here."

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson aborde des thèmes de conflits et de luttes humaines, soulignant à quel point les ambitions et les souffrances de chacun se reflètent à travers leurs rêves et leurs réalités. Elle met en lumière la fragilité de notre existence face à des forces puissantes, tout en exprimant un désir profond de reconnexion et de survie. La voix de l’artiste dépeint un tableau de détresse, mêlant à la fois la colère et un appel à la solidarité. Dans un monde de chaos, elle évoque l'importance des liens humains et la mémoire collective, suggérant que même après la tempête, il reste des traces de vie, des histoires à raconter. Les images de destruction sont contrebalancées par une note d'espoir, où l'amour et la joie persistent malgré les difficultés.
