Summary
This idea came up simply because I am a terrible lyric listener. Seriously, I always misunderstand the lyrics and tend to do the "Oh, so that's how it goes..." every time I go check them.
This time, however, I thought my misinterpretation was worth a short story. This song really gave me an apocalyptic vibe from the singer's voice to the whole atmosphere of it, and the horns like a war sign, everything.
This is the story of a man that has to stay behind. An emotional access to his thoughts and reactions to this erased world.
To really get into it I suggest listening to the music while reading and picture the moments throughout the song.
The lyrics, with changes included, will be in bold, while the rest of the text will follow the standard literary character.
I hope you enjoy!
