Scenes - City of White Blankets

Copied!edit Lyrics

There's a blister in the sky
The sun's a darker red now
And it's not going to bleed out
But they're not going to run out

Someone shouts through the traffic:
"Play the swindle out!"
But it's not going to play out

Trying out isolation to get attention
It didn't stop there
Are we going to stop here
Feed the king

Someone shouts through the traffic:
"Play the swindle out!"
But it's not going to play out

There's a blister in the sky
The sun's a darker red now

★ Outro ★
How could we possibly get away from here? We've got a sick child, two women, onе woman out of her head, three men, and thе place is surrounded with these things

The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and isolation, with someone shouting through the traffic to play out a swindle that's not going to work. The imagery of isolation to get attention and the question of whether they will stop here adds to the feeling of unease in the song. The repeated lines about the blister in the sky and the darker sun reinforce the bleak atmosphere of the city. Overall, the song captures a sense of impending doom and the struggle to escape from a dangerous and chaotic environment.
