Hail The Size Of Grapes
Energy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
2 hands meet, on our knees, no one heard a sound
"Fall now, Into a dream"
"Come drown, down here with me"
Thousands Passed, Unwritten - How much time is left?
They're screaming "Salvation!" - False hope without shame
"Fall now, Into a dream"
"Come drown, down here with me"
Wake Up
Waiting outside in the bitter cold
Frozen winter brings the days of old
The time has come, to say our last goodbyes
Destination: final sunrise
The Energy's song "Hail The Size Of Grapes" is a solemn-sounding tune that packs an emotional punch with its contemplative lyrics. The words evoke feelings of detachment and uncertainty as the singer asks the question, "Are we all alone?" The lyrics suggest that he is seeking some sort of connection but feels isolated and detached from everyone around him. The second verse paints a vivid image of two people on their knees, who are not seeking salvation, but rather a dreamlike state where they can escape the harsh realities of life. The chorus repeats the lines "fall now into a dream" and "come drown, down here with me," suggesting a sort of oblivion where they can escape the pain of existence.
In the bridge, the lyrics shift somewhat, as the singer wonders about the passage of time and how much is left. The crowds around him are screaming for salvation, but the singer seems to have lost faith in the notion of salvation. The song ends on a somewhat ambiguous note, with the singer urging someone to awaken and prepare for their final journey towards the sunrise. The lyrics suggest a sort of somber resignation to fate, without any clear sense of hope for the future.
