“A song lamenting dying crops and abused nature, inspired by Matt’s concerns of industrial greed and business monopolies. ‘Explorers’ is drenched in the sense of not belonging in your own world. Nearly called ‘Alien Explorers,’ Matt claimed, but "not in the way of aliens from outer space but in the...
[Verse 1]
Once I hoped to seek the new and unknown
This planet's overrun
There's nothing left for you or for me
Don't give in, we can
Walk through the fields and feeling nature's glow
But all the land is owned
There's none left for you or for me
Who will win? 'Cause I concede
[Chorus]
Free me, free me
Free me from this world
I don't belong here
It was a mistake imprisoning my soul
Can you free me, free me from this world?
[Verse 2]
A world lush in bloom, with rivers running wild
They'll be rerouted South
With none left for you or for me
Don't give in and hear the
Engines roar and save our crops from drought
But when the black gold's in doubt
There's none left for you or for me
Fuse Helium-3, our last hope
[Chorus]
And free me, and free me
Free me from this world
We don't belong here
It was a mistake imprisoning our souls
Can you free me, and free me from this world?
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Free me, I'll free you
Free us from this world
We don't belong here
It was a mistake imprisoning our souls
Can you free me, and free me from this world?
(Free me, free me
Free me from this world)
(We don't belong here)
(It was a mistake imprisoning our souls)
Running around in circles, feeling caged by endless rules
Can you free me, and free me from this world?
[Outro]
Ah-ah, ah-oh-oh
Shh, go to sleep
