Aftermath
M.I.R. Lyrics

Now the radio stutters, snaps to life
The radio suddenly turns on and there is some static before a song starts playing.

Some sour song that sets it right
The song that is playing is a sad one, but it somehow brings comfort.

And when London falls
In a chaotic world where even big cities are at risk, causing concern.

He'd like to call
The artist desires to call someone despite the chaos in the world.

But the stars collide
Even celestial bodies are subject to chaos and conflict.

They're beautiful and much maligned
The stars can be breathtakingly beautiful but can also result in disaster.

In a universe where you see the worst
In a world full of chaos, it's easy to focus on the negative.

And it's up to you to fix it
Despite the chaos, the responsibility to find solutions lies with the individual.

Now you've worked it out
The artist has come to a realization.

And you see it all
The artist has gained insight and understanding.

And you want to shout
The singer has a desire to express their newfound understanding loudly.

It's easy to dismiss the "what's it all about" crowd
People who question life's meaning are often ignored or disregarded.

There is no doubt. it's this, here, now
The present moment is what is important, and there is no doubt about that.

And you close your eyes
The singer takes a moment to reflect.

He's not coming back
Someone important is gone and will not return.

So you work it out, overfeed the cat
To deal with grief, the artist focuses on taking care of their pet excessively.

And the plants are dry and they need to drink
The artist's plants are in need of water.

So you do your best. and you flood the sink
The singer tries to satisfy their plants' need for water.

Sit down in the kitchen and cry
The singer takes a moment to grieve and release their emotions.

Now the universe left you for a runners lap
The universe seems to have left the artist behind in a race.

It feels like home when it comes crashing back
Despite the chaos, the artist takes comfort in familiar things.

And it makes you laugh
The artist finds humor in the ridiculousness of their situation.

And it makes you cry
The singer is also emotional in the face of the chaos.

When London falls
The destruction of a significant city symbolizes the consequences of chaos.

And you're still alive
Despite the chaos, the singer has survived.

And the aftermath
The aftermath of destruction and chaos is difficult to navigate.

Open up your eyes
The singer encourages the listener to see the world for what it truly is.

You're so alive
Despite the chaos, the artist emphasizes the importance of living and being present in the moment.

How you've worked it out
The artist has come to a realization.

And you see it all
The singer has gained insight and understanding.
