What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
That was as far as the tide came in
2
I remember the starfish and the wails of the sirens then
3
We replaced the tridents, embraced Poseidon
4
And discovered ourselves living on an island
5
We flow like water across the lost city
6
Chalk prophecies and washed off graffiti
7
In continents
8
Trade off for payoff
9
And high concepts then lost to K-Os
10
Many tales radiate from one nexus
11
Defending a dream of a new directive
12
A call from the deep sums up a notion
13
The day when the people bum rushed the ocean
14
From the beaches they ran to meet the day after
15
Underneath the waves won't repeat the same chapter
16
Knew what they had to do
17
That which creates life has power to take it right back
18
Fucking with the icecaps
19
We've gotta push the tide back
20
We can survive collapse if we don't get sidetracked
21
If we visualize living underwater hidden by prisms
22
Countries fall but people transition if one for all we live in that vision
23
Hundred dollar bill origami
24
Balloon inflation new world economy
25
We float on tsunami to global warming
26
We need structures to control what's coming
27
Corporate monopolies obsolete
28
The philosophy leaves us lost at sea
29
But from Marwar to Cochabamba
30
We are the warriors that won't get conquered
31
"˜Cause rising tides drown all villages
32
Divided fighters succumb to pillage
33
Rescuers whatever your latitude
34
It's time to pioneer a new world attitude
35
Put local cycles first we're Global Islanders with nothing left to plunder
36
Alert the law alternate nations train in the streets
37
Act to limit all non-transparent industries so
38
We must defend Atlantis
39
Anchor the land and never transform into seas
40
Assets to liquify all netted toxic indices so
41
We must defend Atlantis
42
For centuries human beings have pursued the meaning of Atlantis
43
Central to their teaching is that it's existence answers man's essential questions
44
Much like the feeding of the 5,000
45
Even if the facts aren't accurate the story's magic is alive
46
Of utmost importance to convert the impertinent
47
Atlantis holds the answer to man"˜s ills at their most pertinent
48
Aspersions easily dispersed when I certainly answer
49
The most diverse aversions when I firstly channel _
50
Is this all that you hold
51
For a warriors role
52
The ground shakes
53
You claim my country not my soul
54
I fought I toiled, for the lost in the waves I will not tire
55
I die no slave
56
If the seas my grave
57
I sleep with my city
58
My people my oath
59
My shame my city is that
60
I cannot save my city
61
From waves that claim you
62
And curse the gods who can't explain
63
Who to blame
64
At the end of the reign
65
Heed me
66
The season passes Atlas
67
His keeps in the sediment
68
Failing monumentally
69
And leaving no monuments to see
70
Only sea to shining sea
71
(Assess the loss as new tidal inundations surface
72
Amidst the legions are now thousands in starfish
73
We must defend Atlantis
74
As the land acquiesces no tears in sympathy
75
Address the legacy and never treat it separately
76
Access telepathy last as neverending transcendency"¦)
77
And survival hinged on an attempt by the humble
78
And the sirens wailed as the empire crumbled"¦
79
With nothing left to plunder corporations drowned
80
Waves clapped like thunder and stormed the gates with sound
81
Forming a new nation now
82
As the icecaps melted water levels rose
83
We raised our hands together and made the levees hold
84
Heals in the sand we revealed the depths below
85
The population of starfish exploded from the ocean
86
Survival we unified to focus on
87
And the voices were many but we spoke as one
88
As the tale was retold we multiplied
89
And swelled across the faultlines to halt the tide
90
We let the altars die to keep our pulse alive
91
And from the barren wastelands of naked trash
92
We stitched together a shelter from fallen nation's flags
93
And chose to build a future from an ancient past
94
The crowns of thorns was worn we put the tritons down
95
We found new forms of anchors deep inside the ground
96
The world is an island now
