God bless us everyone = Let there be a catalyst that changes the hard times into good times
We're a broken people living under loaded gun - We're just humanity at the breaking point, any second and we'll expose the animals that we truly are.
And it can't be out fought, it can't be out done, can't be out matched, can't be out run = our demise is inevitable no matter how hard you try to combat it. We are a primitive dangerous species.
And when I close my eyes tonight
to symphonies of blinding light When we dream of world that is overwhelmingly different for the better
(God bless us every one we're a broken people living under loaded gun) basically it's saying never mind that dream, we are what we are. We're hopeless.
Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away = recollections of the past that linger coldly in our "souls" and transmit a feeling of pity that keeps amplifying.
Far from the world of you and I where oceans bleed into the sky Is saying that wanting such a thing as that dream is implausible and that it's just so far out of reach of the reality between us all as human beings.
God save us everyone we will burn inside the fires of a thousand suns = Let there be some way that we can change ourselves before we destroy ourselves
The sins of our hand = all the wrong things that we have caused to happen, pain, suffering,
the sins of our tongue = (I'm going to keep this literal) this is about dogmatic and hurtful speech. The words we write, the words we say, the ideas we come up with are all dragging us further into a pit of our own immorality
The sins of our father (you can take this as God or you could not) Basically it means the sin of the ones who come before us, we're paying for and if you take it to mean God then it means the hypocritical bullshit that a deity had bestowed upon us all.
The sins of our young What we teach our children, not raising them to be honest and moral beings , and knowing that even if they are good there is still a chance they are corruptible.
Lift me up = Let us raise above the failures of our humanity
Let me go = Let us evolve into something better or else we'll just keep regressing and eventually destroy ourselves
