Headphone Actor

That day was quite ordinary
It was just a typical day
From the radio I was listening to kill time
Until that story started

It's a very unfortunate thing
Today the earth will end
Until a president from some country
Cries while speaking

Outside the window, large birds
Are taking over the sky
Swallowing the crescent moon
Heading somewhere

The game I was playing is on pause
The desk barely touched, textbooks untouched
To calm my trembling body
I immediately put on headphones

An unknown artist's item
An untitled number
Suddenly started playing in my ears
You must want to survive

The world starts to wriggle
Skyscrapers swaying like waves
This voice that can't be bent
Sounds like my own voice, tired of hearing

Once you cross that hill, in twenty seconds
You'll know the meaning whether you like it or not
Listen carefully without doubt, twenty seconds ahead

The intersection is naturally congested
The street housing complex is no longer relevant
Filled with shouts and babies crying

People going wild, girls starting to cry
Overtaking the faith they started praying
The only one aiming in the opposite direction
Is beyond that hill

A voice from the headphones
Says it's twelve minutes left
If everything disappears like this
There will be nothing left

The clamor of the screaming choir
Brushes past with teary eyes in ten seconds
I want to sing, but no matter how hard someone tries
The never-ending human anthem

Run through, there's only one minute left
Those words are already unheard
The hill we were aiming for
Is right in front of us

Gasping for breath, we finally arrived
In front of a wall reflecting the sky
Beyond that, scientists in white coats
Clapped their hands in amazement
I doubt it

The cityscape seen from there
Feels like an experimental facility
It's no longer necessary
The scientists threw bombs on their shoulders

In the small world inside the box
I've been living all this time
The burning city
Just through a telescope, in my ears
From beyond the headphones
I heard a voice saying sorry
