What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Your class, your caste, your country, sect, your name or your tribe
2
There's people always dying trying to keep them alive
3
There's bodies decomposing in containers tonight
4
In an abandoned building where
5
Squatters made a mural of a Mexican girl
6
With fifteen cans of spray paint and a chemical swirl
7
She's standing in the ashes at the end of the world
8
Four winds blowing through her hair
9
But when great Satan's gone... the Whore of Babylon...
10
She just can't sustain the pressure where it's placed
11
She caves, She caves
12
The Bible's blind, the Torah's deaf, the Qur'an's mute
13
If you burned them all together you'd get close to the truth still
14
They're pouring over Sanskrit on the Ivy League moons
15
While shadows lengthen in the sun
16
Cast all the school and meditation built to soften the times
17
And hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds
18
It's knocking over fences crossing property lines
19
Four Winds, cry until it comes
20
And it's the Sum of Man slouching towards Bethlehem
21
A heart just can't contain all of that empty space
22
It breaks. It breaks. It breaks.
23
Well I went back by rented Cadillac and company jet
24
Like a newly orphaned refugee retracing my steps
25
All the way to Cassadaga to commune with the dead
26
They said, "You'd better look alive"
27
And I was off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps
28
In the Black Hills, the Badlands, the calloused East
29
I buried my ballast. I made my peace.
30
Heard Four Winds, leveling the pines
31
But when great Satan's gone... the Whore of Babylon...
32
She just can't remain with all that outer space
33
She breaks. She breaks. She caves. She caves.
34
She breaks.
35
You better look alive
