In a time when people seem to only care about themselves, Major Moment delivers a message of strength and unity with an explosive female-led anthem. “The Flood” is here to remind us we’re ALL one big family, and despite our differences, we bleed just the same.
FUN FACT: During the writing session, Andrey and Sasha needed a strong punchline for the chorus, and were struggling to find it for hours. “We don’t care at all” was the notion, but it wasn’t cutting it. Being bilingual, at some point, they switched to speaking Russian, and by a mere accident, Andrey remembered one very well-known phrase in Russian, originated from French language “Après nous, le déluge” which translated means, “After us, the flood”. This was their “a-ha” moment.
LYRICS
We’ve seen better days
Say we bleed the same, the lies repeating
What a life to waste
In the dissonance of people screaming
Revealing we’re living in despair
Don’t let us trade our worth for what is trending
Why are we so condescending?
After us the flood
And in the world so cold and so demanding
There can be no happy ending
After us the flood
Did we miss the sign?
How could we ignore all premonitions?
Faulty by design
It’s implied we’re faultless but our ambitions
Are vicious, we’re going to lose it all
Don’t let us trade our worth for what is trending
Why are we so condescending?
After us the flood
And in the world so cold and so demanding
There can be no happy ending
After us the flood
It’s in my head
It’s something I can’t stand
Tell me how dare we
Treat everyone with disrespect
Why do we assume without a doubt
We’re the ones this planet spins around
It goes without saying
The levees are breaking
Forever we’ll bear what cannot be undone
Don’t let us trade our worth for what is trending
Why are we so condescending?
After us the flood
And in the world so cold and so demanding
There can be no happy ending
After us the flood
And in the world so cold and so demanding
There can be no happy ending
After us the flood
After us the flood
After us the flood
After us the flood
