Stand and move and walk across the water.
Peel the cover from the city.
Watch its insides twitch and smoke and rotate endlessly.
Sinking. Moving deep beneath the water.
Lots of other worlds exist.
Soon enough we’ll tear them open.
Soon enough we’ll break them too.
Swimming. Watching concrete eat the ocean.
Metal fingers scrape the skies.
The windows look like Christmas lights from out here.
Floating. Counting clouds. They’re slowly fading.
Blending in with cardboard skies.
Soon we’ll manufacture replicas.
It’s all replaceable.
From the sky, the train tracks look like stitches.
Like they’re holding the world together; like it’ll blow any minute.
And I’ve got another thought I’ll keep to myself.
Until the skeletons walk free. Until the make-up all comes off.
There’s nothing new to discover, there’s nothing new to invent.
There’s nothing new to think that hasn’t been thought of before.
And there’s nothing to believe we haven’t already forgotten.
There’s nothing left, there’s nothing new, there’s nothing—
No, no, no, no.
And I’ve got another dream I’ll keep to myself.
Until the tyrants are dead and the patriots are swallowed whole.
And I’ve got a bottle I can aim at the center,
Full of letters, as a kid, I’d always meant to send.
We’d speak our minds and change the world.
We’d fix the past and pave the way.
But now we’re fresh out of heroes; now we’ve run dry on hope.
There are no saviors in technology: just quick fixes.
And holes, within holes, within holes, within you.
And a place to hang my head, and convince myself there is no difference.
The message of 'Metal Fingers' by Electric President is not completly obvious. The true meanings are hidden between figuritive language. At first, this song may sound gloomy, but the lyrics have a meaning, that has a large part to do with Global issues. For example in the first verse, the singers are describing how our world is smoky and un functional. It also describes how other worlds, like ours exist, and if we ever get to them, we will break and tear them too, like what we have done to our Earth.
In the second verse, you really have to think about what the lyrics mean. For example " When concreate eats the ocean". This does not litrally mean concreate is eating but it means us humans are covering the ocean with more land then we already have, covering it with concreate. This verse also says " Metal fingers scrape the skies'. This brings a very strong image to mind, which is the purpose. Metal fingrs are sky scrapers and they are getting taller and taller.
In the third verse, the singers describe the train tracks look like stitches holding the world together. This means that our world is falling apart. Later in the verse, they says theres nothing to discover or invent. It means we have used all our rescouces and there nothing more we can do.
This song has a negative message. The lyrics are quite gloomy and the music is very dark at the beginning.
