about

‘After the Flood’ is a meditation on growing up in the existential shadow of climate change. While on the surface jadedly mocking conventional ‘thoughts-and-prayers’ politics in lines like “the captains say we’ll make it if we pray”, the verses read Rush’s earnest confession on the guilt of humanity destroying planet Earth, though hidden between rhymes and tongue twisters. Dualities between sincerity and sarcasm, truth and subversion, spirituality and nihilism offer a window into the anxious experience of 2020. “We’ll go through limbo”, the chorus echoes; “Bon Voyage”.

lyrics

Heat’s breaking
Damnation
Sensing sweat
Sky cries rejuvenation
Our relegation
Sacrificial lesson
Earth’s evanescence
Elysian neglection

Heaven to hades
Soil to the stars

Bon Voyage

Anchors aweigh
The Arch goes one way
The captains say
“We’ll make it, if we pray”

We’ll go
Through limbo
We’ll go
Through limbo

Luciferian temptation
Washed us from Eden
Garden’s a blast, but
Now we’re beaten
All the sin, all the smog
All the treason
Can’t last
Born cheating
