►Lyrics
And we sit here so close in the dark
And we’re so close to being torn apart
Ever crash I can feel in our foundation
It runs through my veins and I hate the sensation
But I know that I’m safe here with you
Cause we made it through everything the old and the new
Just wake me up when all this is over
wake me up and tell me it’s not true
My sweet love watch the air raids
As the streets of London are not safe
And I wish that we could escape
As the beat of the drum keeps on its play
And I long to feel the rain on my face
So I wait, I want the bombs to fade away
And the hum of the airplanes is such a sweet sound
As we’re coming up from underground
Coming up to see our ruined state
Coming up to see those ruins you made
And in the east I hear a nation shout
And we wait for the day that we can sing it out

I keep coming back here, after oh- 3 years.. I still remember feeling the good vibes, it just felt like old times in another fantasy world that I may or may not exist. Maybe it was a bit exaggerated but why would I lie about the feeling that this song makes me feel? The adventure and old treasures that we get to discover, this song is like one of those moments when the protagonist is escaping a danger with a laid back manner.

So happy to hear that

[@max.larionov]

As a Ukrainian, this song is especially close to me. The streets of our cities are not safe for over 1.5 years in all regions. I met 24.02.22 in Severodonetsk and for the first time I lived in a basement, russian troops advanced so fast to my city and started bombing our houses. But soon I was able to escape from the besieged city and now I am in a safe place. I feel similar emotions as in this song, but I wish no one would ever have to relive such emotions. It's very painful. Thanks to everyone who supports Ukraine! We must stand together to defend freedom.

[@VianIzak]

Wow. I am humbled that you shared this. Thank you and I am so glad you are safe. My heart goes out to you and your family and friends in that area. I will keep you all in my prayers. Thank you Max. God bless you.

Wait a big moment, so this song is based on an actual event during WW2 called the Battle of Britain and the Blitz from 1940-41? If so, that shit insane. And did anyone also notice that the clouds show scenes of bombing raids and fighting during WW2?

[@cacovonluca]

I love the message here. The images of war and the "Wake me up and tell me it's not true". The idea, that one wants to feel the rain. But you can't feel the rain above the clouds, and in the streets you are not safe in war.

"Let's go to the London Underground shall we" ~british civilians

[@domenicocastagna6774]

My fellow citizen. If you are hearing this tape, then the world as we knew it has finished. The sky has broken, the ground heaves with the tramp of terrible feet, and all the horror and madness from the dark corners of the world has broken free to exact its vengeance on the world of Man. Those who sought to contain them are killed or scattered, and we soon learnt that to attempt to fight these creatures is almost invariably to face one’s death. Countless billions have been slaughtered in their attempt to sate their endless appetite for death, and there is nothing-was nothing- we could do to stop them. Evil has raised its bloody flag upon all nations of the world and crowed its unholy victory to the broken sky. Yes, this is the end. But there is a new hope. Welcome to UnLondon, a city of the survivors, a city of the free. Together, fellow citizen, we will wait and prepare for the new beginning, the grand new world that is soon to come. Let the world above burn. We will endure. Let the monsters have their world. We will prepare. And let the ground tremble with a new Armageddon, as evil consumes itself, for I tell you, citizen, upon the day of the ruination of Man, their insatiable appetites will turn them against one another in their endless lust for death. We will wait. And I tell you, citizen, that there will be a new morning. And you will emerge from UnLondon, and stand blinking in the sun, as our children play and laugh in the bones of horrors long dead. And you will walk, hand in hand, to the sea, our faces skywards, as the rising sun ushers in the new age of Man. And you will gather, citizen, at my feet as I summon UnLondon from its rest, and it shall burst, phoenix-like, from the ashes of the old. And on that day, citizen, there shall be a new order, as we raise the Union Flag over the entire world. I welcome you to UnLondon, the Last City. And the first.
