RED
Little Green Cars Lyrics

The sky is red but I can't see the sun
The world is distorted and confusing, making it difficult to find clarity and direction

Or the moon
Even the usually reliable sources of guidance are not visible or accessible

I don't know if there's a storm to come
The future feels uncertain and ominous, and it's impossible to predict what will happen next

Dogs are barking there's a ghost in the room
There is a pervasive sense of danger and unease in the environment, making it hard to relax or feel safe

He throws the books off the shelves
The ghost is powerful and destructive, disrupting the order and knowledge that the books represent

Turns the lights off too
The ghost is also capable of extinguishing the sources of illumination and understanding

Priest is standing there he says he knows my god
Even those who claim to have divine knowledge don't truly understand or have an answer for the complexities of the world

But still it shows
Despite the chaos and confusion, there are indications that certain patterns or truths persist

Everybody knows
These patterns are universally recognized or experienced

Who gets left behind
Those who are unable to adapt or navigate the challenges of the world are at risk of being lost or forgotten

Gets blown away by the wind
The forces of change and uncertainty can sweep away even the most carefully laid plans or aspirations

And washed away by the tide
The unstoppable and unpredictable nature of the world's natural rhythms and cycles can also erode our sense of stability and purpose

Being dead is not as easy as it looks
Even the release of death doesn't necessarily provide relief from the burdens or struggles of life

You know I can't sit still because these pills that I took
Even when we try to escape reality through drugs or distractions, our restlessness and discomfort persist

The side effects they get the best of my rage
Our attempts to manipulate our mental or emotional states through substances often backfire, exacerbating our negative feelings

There's a big red dragon coming out of its cave
The metaphorical dragon represents a looming threat or challenge that seems insurmountable

I packed up all my things but then I lost my bag
Even when we try to prepare for or control our circumstances, unforeseen obstacles can undermine our efforts

No matter how much I cry I know I'll never get it back
Even when we mourn our losses or failures, we must accept that they are permanent and irreparable

Sorry girl for taking you for a ride
Our attempts to cope with our struggles can sometimes hurt or deceive those closest to us

When I just crashed the car and then I left you, yeah I left you inside
Our failures can have serious and lasting consequences for ourselves and those around us

I'm not gonna wait for an oh my god
In the face of adversity, we must take action and persevere instead of waiting for divine intervention

Ooah waah waah waah
