Here They Come

Song Meaning

The lyrics paint a picture of an imminent, powerful arrival, described with celestial imagery. The repeated phrase "Here they come" builds anticipation for a force that is both awe-inspiring and universally impactful, suggesting a transformative event. The initial lines, "fly with the power of the Sun" and "touch everyone," establish a sense of overwhelming, almost divine, energy descending upon the world. This arrival seems to carry a profound, perhaps spiritual, message. The paradox of "fire on their wings doesn't burn" hints at a power that is intense yet not destructive, suggesting a purifying or enlightening force rather than a destructive one. The assertion that "they know everything we must learn" positions these arrivals as harbingers of crucial knowledge or awakening, forcing a cyclical "round, round we must turn" in human understanding. The lyrics then shift to address humanity directly, issuing a stark warning: "Watch out, you sinners / Don't you know that your time has come?" This is immediately followed by a surprising inclusion of the successful: "Watch out, you winners / Now it's the same for everyone." This suggests the impending event levels the playing field, rendering past status or moral standing irrelevant in the face of this universal force. Ultimately, the lyrics suggest a moment of collective realization and the dissipation of fear. The "stars in their eyes seem to glow" and "the fear in our hearts starts to go" indicate a transition from apprehension to understanding. The final line, "Now, now, now we all know," signifies a shared, undeniable truth dawning upon everyone as these powerful entities make their presence known.
