East
Gaza Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When it ends, when heaven comes
angels are executioners,
and cold steel will be the new colors of the Gap.
We will use leaf blowers from the Home Depot to clean
up the hair and bones.
The scars on our wrists will open.
Some of us will faint before we sleep,
Because no one picked up at the NYSE.
We'll count and compare the flowers on our graves and




see whose mothers loved them more.

The reference to the NYSE implies that even financial markets and institutions that are thought to be secure will not be able to withstand the devastation.

​@@Visionary_of_LoveGood. Thanks to the algorithms implemented by the Western world on its YouTube platform, they ensure that these and such videos do not come to the fore in the Western world. Are you feeling comfortable now?
