Crowded streets are cleared away
One by one
Hollow heroes separate
As they run
You're so cold, Keep your
hand in mine
Wise men wonder while
strong men die
Show me how it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright
Lets give this another try
If you find your family,
Don't you cry
In this land of make believe,
Dead and dry
You're so cold
but you feel alive
Lay your hand on me
One last time
Show me how it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright
Lets give this another try
Show me how it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright
Lets give this another try
(It's Alright) repeat x9
One by one
Hollow heroes separate
As they run
You're so cold, Keep your
hand in mine
Wise men wonder while
strong men die
Show me how it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright
Lets give this another try
If you find your family,
Don't you cry
In this land of make believe,
Dead and dry
You're so cold
but you feel alive
Lay your hand on me
One last time
Show me how it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright
Lets give this another try
Show me how it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright
Lets give this another try
(It's Alright) repeat x9

Religion's followers have always been two-faced, and this song only shows the dark side of them.
When i listen i'm getting the holocaust out of this.
Crowded streets are cleared away
One by one
(hitlers forces)
Hollow heroes separate
As they run
You're so cold, Keep your
hand in mine
(self explanitory)
Wise men wonder while
strong men die
(people cannot understand the mentality behind the persecution)
Show me how it ends, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright
Lets give this another try
(people reasuring eachother that it will be okay and stating hitler had to be mentally and emotionally defenseless, essentially challenging him)
If you find your family,
Don't you cry
(reassurance or potentially warning a person of the horror)
In this land of make believe,
Dead and dry
(germany, potentially a camp like Auschwitz)
You're so cold
but you feel alive
(people terrified prior to execution)
Lay your hand on me
One last time
(perhaps a final goodbye to a loved one prior to execution.
and just repeat chorus from here. again, i think this is a pretty powerful song, but definitly cut and dry explanatory.
i feel as though its remniscent of existentialist ideals
and possibly masochism: lay your hand on me
abuse being the only tangible thing in a "world of make believe dead and dry"
an abusive relationship, they cant help but return to old ways knowing nothng is real anyways
"If you find your family,
Don't you cry!
In this land of make believe,
Dead and dry!"
Its a reference to that apocalyptic world from the film as well as referencing our collective unconscious tendency to cold shoulder everyone else, isolating yourself as if in a baron wasteland. If you find your family don't think all is well right away, there may be obstacles in your family, or maybe not even a possible way of rekindling the harmony of family and love... Be wise and optimistic to all available options and possibilities. That way in they end all your options have been logically thought over and the best possible solution chosen... being wise... while in the end makes you strong through wisdom?
Maybe I'm reading into it to much... I probably over did my own interpretation of the song lol

...When are people going to start waking up to the fact that these "New World Order Imperialist's" will not stop for anyone until they've accomplished there sadist fantasies of world order by---among many other things to come---brute force resulting in many millions more lives lost---and for what---the greater good?!!!
How dare these people act in such a way as to violate our moral conscious for their greedy purpose---and then turn around and deny accountability all together as soon as the spotlight is turned upon them!
Never have we seen such an era of corruption such as this---and yet people just go about their day as if there's not much to be concerned about...[Of course that's just how these creeps want it to be (i.e. the corporate media) to keep us drugged-up and dummed-down]
...If we have learned anything valuable from history at all, we should not forget the atrocities committed by people like Hitler and Mao and Stalin and Lenin. These men did not act alone!!!
They received funds for the Wars they fought in order to do what?!---Cleanse the human race?!
Who made these people God?!!!
The answer is nobody!---And yet, they continue to murder innocent lives, lie to us, suppress the truth, steal from us what rightfully belongs to us, and if that isn't enough---oppress us even more until we give up and give in and lose strength and determination to fight back---either that or we just end up too distracted by the system of their making to even notice or care because they've filled our minds with so much junk that we hardly have enough gumption to even turn OFF the TV!!
...Oh...How frightful it will be for these people on Judgment Day!
Only those who have heeded the warning signs will escape the coming of the war of the great day of God the Almighty...(Revelation 16:14)
This song is a great song---especially if it brings people to their senses!
Time is running out---If we don't wake up now---we may never wake up!!!
Beware, these fascist new world order creeps are highly organized and quite capable of inflicting far more pain upon their victims than we could have ever imagined since the worlds inception...
NSA, CIA, FEMA, FBI, HOMELAND SECURITY, THE LINCOLN ASSASSINATION, KENNEDY ASSASSINATION, THE END OF POSSE COMITATAS, VIETNAM, NASA, BOHEMIAN GROVE, 911, THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS, THE BILDERBERG GROUP, THE TRILATERAL COMMISSION, THE SOON TO BE NORTH AMERICAN-UNION, THE END OF NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY, SURVEILLANCED-SOCIETY, NEW WORLD ORDER, OLD WORLD EMPIRE, MASONS, THE ILLUMINATI...GLOBALIZATION...
...THE SIGNS ARE ALL AROUND US!
WE'D BETTER WAKE UP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!
THESE LOONY-TUNES ARE GAINING STRENGTH---DON'T LET THEM WIN!!!
WAKE UP AMERICA...DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE WARNINGS OF OUR PAST LEADERS...LINCOLN, JACKSON, WILSON, AND ABOVE ALL ELSE, JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY, WHO OPENLY ACKNOWLEDGED HIS DISDAIN TOWARD THESE SICK INDIVIDUALS WHEN HE SAID..."WE ARE OPPOSED TO SECRET SOCIETIES, SECRET OATHS..."
AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM AFTER THAT...
