Thrice - Lost Continent (lyrics)

"Lost Continent" by Thrice from their album The Alchemy Index Vol. II: Water.
I do not own the band nor their music.
School is taking up a lot of my time, but the rest of the Alchemy Index will come!

Lyrics:

Was there a time that we knew peace
When all the children had a place to sleep
When rhetoric was not enough?

Was there a time we weren't at war
When we knew what our hearts and hands were for?
I don't believe there ever was

It's always been a lie
A soothing lullaby
We'll soon be swallowed by the sea

Was there a time we looked around
And do we really even want to know what's going down?
Well I think no one really does

We'd rather close our eyes
Sing soothing lullabies
We'll soon be swallowed by the sea

The water's rising now
And we will surely drown
If we don't turn around

It's so sad that little people know 'em. Thrice is amazing <3

[LittleShyell]

@TheArweyn Is it weird that when I first read through, I interpreted it as "It's so sad that [people who are little] know 'em"? Probably.

ANYWAY, I agree. It's always such a lovely surprise though when you meet someone who's also a fan.

[TheArweyn]

@LittleShyell Gods, sorry for the atrocious spelling mistake --'

Yeah, I'm not English myself, but usually I don't make such mistakes ;P

I was in a hurry when I wrote this xD

Oh yes, I remember the first time I listened to a Thrice song. It was called 'Carol of the Bells'

Fell in love with it q:

[LittleShyell]

@TheArweyn Oh no, don't worry, there wasn't a spelling mistake. I actually have no idea why I read it the way I did, haha.

The first Thrice song I listened to/watched the music video was Image of the Invisible, after my piano teacher recommended them to me. I've been hooked ever since. :D

[xTheUndeadAvengedx]

hey was this in a movie or something? 'cause I swear I've heard this song before :P

[LittleShyell]

@xTheUndeadAvengedx To be completely honest, I have no idea, haha. I searched Google and YouTube, but I couldn't find anything about it being in a movie. It definitely sounds like it could be in Atlantis or something though, doesn't it?

@LittleShyell

Actually, you were correct in reading it that way

It should be few, not little. Little is what you use for something that can't be measured, like less. It's a common mistake, though. It should be "ten items or fewer" not "ten items or less," which sort of connects with the little and... and yeah

Basically, Arewyn didn't type anything inordinarily wrong, but your interpretation was correct based on what the arrangement and word choice suggested ouob

[xTheUndeadAvengedx]

@LittleShyell ooh, yeah now that you say it, it would fit in Atlantis or some kids' adventure movie like that
