What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Take that noise out in the street
2
This rubble out from under my feet
3
No rest for the weary in here
4
And make a fuss, you're a volunteer
5
These days they lord above me
6
Growing mean as they grow shorter
7
Like a flag on a closing border now
8
Closing right behind you
9
In a crowd come off the hill
10
Full of bloodlust and goodwill
11
We carried our pride above our heads
12
Like a flag we could cheer to wake the dead
13
And when we could go no further
14
And were drowning on a desert, we
15
Raised our flag to follow the breath of God
16
But it was blowin' every which way
17
I loved you long before I knew
18
Love is something one decides to do
19
My vanity and fear conspired belief
20
That love's just a mirror for a thief
21
So when you held me tight against you
22
And I mistook your heart for thunder
23
And like a flag hid behind and under you
24
Well who could blame me
25
When you held me tight against you
26
And I mistook your heart for thunder
27
Like a flag I hid behind it
28
Like a flag I'm hiding under you
29
Now I hang my clothes out to dry
30
Like waves of surrender they fly
31
The whore of this world looks old and played
32
Still she peeks from the alley like a waiting bride's maid
33
Laugh or bleed as you need to
34
Who of us doesn't know already
35
Every flag flies like confetti now
