Colony Lyrics

A cry for help, a hint of anesthesia
The sound from broken homes
We used to always meet here
As he lays asleep, she takes him in her arms
Some things I have to do, but I don't mean you harm

A worried parent's glance, a kiss, a last goodbye
Hands him the bag she packed, the tears she tries to hide
A cruel wind that blows down to our lunacy
And leaves him standing cold here in this colony

I can't see why all these confrontations
I can't see why all these dislocations
No family life, this makes me feel uneasy
Stood alone here in this colony

In this colony
In this colony
In this colony
In this colony

Dear God in his wisdom took you by the hand
God in his wisdom made you understand
God in his wisdom took you by the hand
God in his wisdom made you understand

God in his wisdom took you by the hand
God in his wisdom made you understand
God in his wisdom took you by the hand
God in his wisdom made you understand

In this colony
In this colony
In this colony
In this colony

What is the Meaning of Colony?

"Colony" is it meant to be as a cell of man with his woman trying to find their way trought the suffocating demands of the outside world, or is it just him WANTING his woman with him, which is an even worse case?
