Lyrics:
[Intro]
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
[Verse 1]
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
[Pre-Chorus]
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above
[Chorus]
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
[Verse 2]
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settled around us
[Pre-Chorus]
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above
[Chorus]
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
[Bridge]
Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?
Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?
[Pre-Chorus]
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
(Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?)
Grey clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above
(Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?)
[Chorus]
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
If you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
[Outro]
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu

Let me point out that whoever wrote the subtitles included the “Eh, eheu eheu”s. Someone deserves a raise.

I heard this song on the radio for the first time a few years back when the California wildfires were happening and my town was on fire. It was really surreal. Beautifully depressing song.

This reminds me of rememberance of times before September 11th 2001. "And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love Grey clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like you've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

This song refers to Ancient City of Pompeii that was destroyed by Mt Vesuvius in A.D 79

[@KoAk-hk1db]

i remember this like it was yesterday it was 2015 and my dad got in a horrible car accident in his 2014 black dodge challenger the drivers in the old Lincoln sedan were accusing him of causing the accident in reality they ran a red light but thankfully my dad survived just a minor headache and during that time this song would play man this song brings back nostalgic memories.

[@Gigan10610]

@@kimmycormanfd2 hey I feel you I grew up in the Midwest and went through 4 tornadoes. They really tear everything apart if you get the joke. Though the disaster itself is no laughing matter. I had a EF2 in Illinois when I was 10, a EF1 in Arkansas while visiting my great-grandparents as a baby, an EF3 in Kansas while on my way to Colorado when I was 14, and just a few months ago I managed to see an EF0 in the country while on the interstate at 21 years old. Thankfully there were no fatalities/injuries in the last one. Twisters have become my biggest fear and my family still says I'm crazy
