Tekst piosenki
[Verse 1]
I’m tired of tending to this fire
I’ve used up all I’ve collected
I have singed my hands
It’s glowing, embers barely showing
Proof of life in the shadows
Dancing on my plans
[Chorus]
They know that it’s almost
They know that it’s almost over
They know that it’s almost
They know that it’s almost over
[Verse 2]
The burning is so low it’s concerning
'Cause they know that when it goes out
It’s a glorious gone
It’s only time before they show me
Why no one ever comes back
With details from beyond
[Chorus]
They know that it’s almost
They know that it’s almost over
They know that it’s almost
They know that it’s almost over
(They know)
They know that it’s almost over
(They know)
They know that it’s almost over
(They know)
(They know)
(They know)
(They know)
[Bridge]
In time, I will leave the city
For now, I will stay alive
In time, I will leave the city
For now, I will stay alive
In time, I will leave the city
For now, I will stay alive
In time, I will leave the city
For now, I will stay alive
[Chorus]
They know that it’s almost
They know that it’s almost over
They know that it’s almost
They know that it’s almost over
(They know)
(They know)
[Verse 3]
Last year I needed change of pace
Couldn’t take the pace of change
Moving hastily
But this year, though I’m far from home
In Trench I’m not alone
These faces facin’ me
[Outro]
They know
They know
What I mean
Tłumaczenie piosenki
Analiza piosenki
Jednocześnie najważniejsze jest to, że bohater mimo wszystko wybiera pozostanie przy życiu. Powtarzane „for now, I will stay alive” brzmi jak świadoma decyzja, żeby wytrzymać jeszcze trochę, nawet jeśli nie ma pewności, co będzie dalej. W końcówce pojawia się też poczucie wspólnoty, bo choć bohater jest daleko od domu i nadal zagubiony, nie jest już sam. Całość można odczytać jako utwór o kryzysie psychicznym, wyczerpaniu i bardzo kruchej, ale jednak obecnej decyzji, by dalej trwać.
