Second

I believe this song (one of my favorites of all time by Katatonia) is about the devastation that follows a terrorist attack (Sun has lost Mountains fell, What took away our anchor, Escape is a long dead end). It deals with the aftermath, the suffering & guilt that burdens the survivors (their is always survivors guilt), also estranged friendships (Will you find me where I am now) and those who lose their friends completely in the attack. It addresses that we need to come together as a whole when acts of violence like this happen, we're much stronger together then divided (We need to rise higher) while also addressing the anger the victims families, friends and the world in general feels (What controls our anger) towards the terrorists. With so many terrorist attacks lately, its so sad but 911 of course is the first one I think of. Lastly, it recommends we cherish every second we're alive cause you never know when we could lose our own life or someone close to us, perhaps a family member, or a friendship we neglected to cultivate properly (Letting one second go on, To go over a lifetime) that's a warning to heed that we could regret that mistake for a lifetime so remember to value those who we hold nearest and dearest, don't take it for granted, cause you never know when your time with them could be up.
