All Go Together
Harmony Unraveled: The Ecological Symphony of 'All Go Together'
Lyrics
A skyhole here, the sun's let in
A metaphorical opening in the sky, allowing the sun to shine through.
It melts the ice, it melts my skin
The sun's warmth is causing the ice to melt, possibly symbolizing change or destruction.
The oceans rise, the lands recede
A description of the consequences of climate change, with rising oceans and shrinking lands.
Cities crumble, vermin feed
Depiction of societal decay, with cities falling apart and vermin thriving.
We will all go together when we go, when we go
An assertion that all individuals will face a collective fate, emphasizing unity in demise.
We will all go together when we go, when we go
-We will all go together when we go
-The chainsaw roars, the forests fall
The destructive impact of deforestation, represented by the roaring chainsaw.
The natives hide, the cattle call
Indigenous people retreat as a result of environmental destruction caused by human activities.
The water boils with toxic waste
The pollution of water with harmful substances, posing a threat to aquatic life.
We catch the fish to get a taste
Commentary on human exploitation of natural resources, even at the cost of environmental harm.
We will all go together when we go, when we go
Reiteration of the collective destiny, emphasizing the inevitability of facing consequences together.
We will all go together when we go, when we go
-We will all go together when we go
-The atoms split to heat the town
Nuclear fission is harnessed for energy production but also to create destructive weapons.
And build a bomb to knock it down
Reference to the dual nature of technological advancements, capable of both construction and destruction.
Nothing is done For all of this
Critique of inaction in addressing global issues until those with power and responsibility are directly affected.
Till most to blame is most at risk
-We will all go together when we go, when we go
Reiteration of the collective fate, underlining the inescapability of facing the consequences together.
We will all go together when we go, when we go
-We will all go together when we go
-A sky hole here, the sun's let in
Repeat of the opening stanza, emphasizing the cyclical and ongoing nature of environmental and societal degradation.
It melts the ice, it melts my skin
-The oceans rise, the lands recede
-Cities crumble, vermin feed
-We will all go together when we go, when we go
Final emphasis on the shared destiny of humanity, underscoring the urgency of addressing global challenges collectively.
We will all go together when we go, when we go
-We will all go together when we go
