The title is a somewhat literal interpretation of 'the quiet before the storm' that someone we know came up with. The lyrics are mostly worked out apart from the end of each verse, which Theo just makes up every time. The main bulk is inspired by Will's talk of a dictator who had controlled the population to a massive degree and Theo thinking on that.
lyrics
Your child is an animal
Your gift: a political manual
You tried to give us all
You tried to keep us all
These thoughts aren't friends to you
Your viewpoint's quite skewed
... ... ...
Time runs as arrow point only one way out of here and you can hear the rain hit
