There is a confrontational, dystopian edge, with lines that suggest breaking free but also watching the world burn and insisting “This is exile”.

Lyrics

Exile

Home, it's where the heart is
So just let me breathe again
Make me young again
And we'll go where we are free again
This is not the end
We'll be young again
So we'll say goodbye girl

And watch as the world burns
This is exile
We're in exile
So just let the heads roll

And we'll stand on this world alone
In this exile
We're in exile
Exile, exile, exile

Home, it's where the heart is

Where we'll never leave again
Suffer or bleed again
When we go

The vultures will feed on them
And fire will come around
And we'll be young again
So we'll say goodbye girl

And watch as the world burns
This is exile
We're in exile
So just let the heads roll
And we'll stand on this world alone
In this exile
We're in exile

We're in exile

We're in exile
Watch as the world burns
