about

As part of my concept album, this song is sequenced between "Zigzag Spambots" and "The Chaotic Nature of the UpBeat Music Program".
The title is inspired by the Manic Street Preachers song "Ifwhiteamericatoldthetruthforonedayit'sworldwouldfallapart"; being one word with no spaces, and likewise the title never actually appears in the lyrics.
The instrumentation was recorded at the UpBeat music program (Visy Cares Hub), while the vocals were recorded at home. The vocals are treated with reverb, while the rhythm guitar is treated with chorus and reverb, and the lead guitar is treated with distortion and flange.
"Church Bells, Distant, A.wav" by InspectorJ of Freesound.org

lyrics

It's getting late, the time has come
Nothing's learnt when all is said and done
Silent raindrops fall against the window pane
Think of times you won't live through again

Life is very short.
That is clear, all my friends
There's no time for making a mess
Leave all you have; it's almost the end
There have been things left unsaid
Words cannot hold the inside of our hearts
Plans come to nought, and fates never led
Success is throwing darts in the dark

Every second one spends is precious
You wouldn't want to make life reckless
Bury your fears in the fiery ground
Nowhere else is your salvation found

Life is very short.
That is clear, all my friends
There's no time for making a mess
Leave all you have; it's almost the end
There have been things left unsaid
Words cannot hold the inside of our hearts
Plans come to nought, and fates never led
Life is like throwing darts in the dark
