Behind the Lyrics

This Is The Collapse delves into the deep sense of hopelessness and fear that comes with watching the world unravel. Inspired by the discussions on the /r/collapse subreddit, the song captures the anxiety of witnessing environmental and societal breakdowns.

Unlike other tracks, This Is The Collapse doesn't offer a call to action but rather sits in the discomfort of helplessness. It’s a portrayal of the silent storm of doom on the horizon and the uncertainty of what comes next. This song serves as a somber reflection on the fragility of our world and the pervasive sense of dread that many feel as they watch the slow-motion collapse unfold.

The Lyrics

Horizons darken, storms in sight,

Empty words as the world ignites.

Tipping points tumble, one by one,

Silent cries, and nothing’s done.

Time runs out, fear grows near,

Holding on tight, future’s unclear.

This is the collapse, the silent storm,

This is the collapse, watch the world transform.

This is the collapse, tipping points fall,

In the quiet, what will we do?

This is the collapse, doom in view,

This is the collapse, what will we do?

What can we do?

Towers falter, foundations weak,

Powerless as structures creak.

Borders close, societies fray,

Years of growth, gone in a day.

Feel the rush of panic, the surge of fear,

Voices lost in chaos, the end draws near.

This is the collapse, the silent storm,

Societies collapse, one by one they fall.

This is the collapse, what’s the point of it all?

This is the collapse, the final call,

In the silence, do we rise or fall?

This is the collapse, doom in view,

This is the collapse, what will we do?

What can we do?

What can we do?
