06 - The Last Weather Report, Window Weather

[Intro - radio static, weather broadcast sample, drums enter] "This is your final weather alert..." "Conditions deteriorating rapidly..." "Please stand by for further..." [Verse 1 - rhythmic guitars, newscaster-like vocal delivery] Tuned in for the forecast Signal breaking up Weather person smiling As the radar showed corruption Numbers without context Percentages of change Maps with colors shifting In patterns growing strange [Pre-Chorus - building tension, static interference] And we turned up the volume Trying to hear the truth But between every measurement The silence gives the proof [Chorus - driving, urgent energy] The last weather report Ended mid-sentence The last weather report Never gave conclusions They're still broadcasting data To an audience at home While outside our windows The evidence has shown What no one wants to know [Verse 2 - news broadcast structure, more urgency] "Expect scattered warnings Throughout your afternoon System moving faster Than models could assume" Meteorologists arguing Over how to name the storm While satellites stop sending Images back down to earth [Pre-Chorus - static increasing, vocals more desperate] And we switch between stations Looking for better news But every channel's breaking With the same terrible truths [Chorus - full band intensity] The last weather report Ended mid-sentence The last weather report Never gave conclusions They're still broadcasting data To an audience at home While outside our windows The evidence has shown What no one wants to know [Bridge - broadcast dissolving, instruments fragmented] Signal interrupted Weatherman gone pale Maps replaced with static Satellite feeds fail Experts making statements That dissolve into noise Information systems Losing all their poise [Spoken interlude - over atmospheric instruments] "We interrupt this broadcast to bring you... [static] Please remain... [interference] This is not a test of the emergency... [cuts out] Authorities advise... [silence]" [Final Chorus - most intense, emergency broadcast tone underneath] The last weather report Will end mid-sentence The last weather report Will give no conclusions They'll still be analyzing data As the systems all go down While outside our windows The evidence has shown What we've always known [Outro - broadcast systems failing, instruments fading to static] "This concludes our broadcast day..." "Please stand by for..." "We apologize for the..." [Signal lost]
