Song lyrics
We're laughing in the face of fear again
We close our eyes and watch it disappear
Stepping on the stones as we sink in
We jump into the fires of hopelessness, forever

Cause it's falling again, catch me
We've swallowed the pills and the pain
It's falling again, but no one sees
It's a 21st century meltdown

Submitted to the fears of loneliness
Degenerate and jumping off the edge
We build our homes, but live inside our heads
Hoping that the dreams will keep us sane, forever

Cause it's falling again, catch me
We've swallowed the pills and the pain
It's falling again, but no one sees
It's a 21st century meltdown
It's a 21st century meltdown

It's not on the Earopean version of the album!
And that's a pitty, 'cause it's a great song!

I beleive it'll be on Picture Of Perfect Youth (new single B-Side collection album).

This was the last track on Echo Park, at least for the Japanese version (perhaps these tracks should be listed as tracks for the actual albums even if they're only on the Jap versions?)

It's track 15.

Echo park track listing:

1. Standing on the Edge
2. Buck Rogers
3. Piece by Piece
4. Seven Days in the Sun
5. We Can't Rewind
6. Turn
7. Choke
8. Oxygen
9. Tell All Your Friends
10. Under the Weather
11. Bug
12. Just a Day
13. Purple
14. Heads
15. 21st Century Meltdown


So for those who don't want to get an Import copy, keep an eye out at Feeders official site (http://www.feederweb.com) for the release of Picture of Perfect Youth (it'll only be available there). Of course, everyone look out for it

21st Century Meltdown must be on there.

You can find it on the Buck Rodgers B-Side.

I think some places are still selling them, so get a move on!

he is an amazing lyricist, and has only gotten better in the the light of tragedy

this is one really weird song, but, yeah, they are class lyrics

Very much one of Grants best lyrics.

I would even consider it one of the best songs of all time if the lyrics had been mixed with "Forget About Tomorrow"-like sounding music, with its orchestral symphony.


"We build our homes, but live inside our heads
Hoping that the dreams will keep us sane, forever"

Couldn't be more true. The world of angst ...
