The Wake
Rising Tides of Recklessness: The Wake of Environmental Indifference
Lyrics
Destroy everything, cleanse
Expressing a desire to destroy everything and purify.
Wipe away the filth
Removing impurities or undesirable elements.
Set fire to your waste
Igniting and eliminating waste or useless things.
Burn everything
Advocating for the destruction of all things.
Back into dirt
Returning to the earth, possibly symbolizing a reset.
Burn everything
Reiterating the call to burn everything.
Flood, drown the earth
Emphasizing a catastrophic flood as a deserved consequence.
Flood, drown the earth
-It's what we deserve
-Rehash the poisons
Suggesting the repetition of harmful influences.
You breathe in the air
Inhaling toxic elements present in the environment.
Tear down what you say your father created
Dismantling what one claims their ancestors built.
Constructing buildings over buildings
Continuing to build over previous structures.
Conceal history like a shameful scar
Concealing shameful aspects of history.
This world has lived for a million years with more to come
Reflecting on the longevity of the world and the consequences of indifference.
It's only a matter of time until you choke on your indifference
-Struggling to breathe as the water fills your lungs
Describing the struggle for survival as water rises.
Trying hard to scream as it rises into your throat
-The reckless, the careless
Indicating that those without care will dominate until a cataclysmic event.
Will reign until the oceans rise
-Flood, drown the earth
Repeating the idea of a deserved flood.
Flood, drown the earth
-It's what we deserve
-It's what we deserve
-It's what we deserve
-It's what we deserve
-It's what we deserve
-This world has lived for a million years with more to come
Reiterating the longevity of the world and the consequences of apathy.
It's only a matter of time until you choke on your indifference
-Struggling to breathe as the water fills your lungs
Depicting the physical struggle for breath as water rises.
Trying hard to scream as it rises into your throat
-Wake up
Calling for awareness and action.
And save yourself
Encouraging self-preservation and awakening.
The sea will reclaim
Implying that the sea will reclaim what humanity has built.
What it worked to create
-Wake up
Reiterating the call for self-preservation and awakening.
Save yourself
Urging to save oneself from the impending consequences.
Pick up the pieces
Advising to pick up the pieces and seek forgiveness.
Ask for forgiveness
