Dinosaurs
Embrace Today, Evade Tomorrow: A Musical Plea for the Now
Lyrics
Did you hear about the fire
Reference to a fire, possibly a metaphor for a crisis or disaster
The water's rising, maybe that'll put it out
Suggesting that rising water levels might extinguish the fire, addressing environmental concerns
It's getting down to the wire
Highlighting urgency or a critical situation
Did we all just forget about the drought
Questioning collective awareness about a drought, indicating potential negligence
The end is coming
Declaring an impending end or crisis
Did you hear the word on the street
Spreading information about the approaching end
The end is coming
Reiteration of the impending end, emphasizing its seriousness
Tragedy, you know what I mean
Linking the end with tragedy, suggesting a significant negative event
The end is coming
Repeating the message of the approaching end
Hurricanes, endangered species
Mentioning specific threats like hurricanes and endangered species in the context of the end
The end is coming and I want you to be coming with me
Expressing a desire for companionship during the impending crisis
So we gotta live right here, right now, so let's
Advocating for living in the present moment
Live it up, live it up
Encouraging a lively and celebratory approach to life
Live it up, live it up
-Live it up, live it up
-Before we die like the dinosaurs
Stressing the urgency to enjoy life before a catastrophic event, using the metaphor of dinosaur extinction
Live it up, live it up
-Live it up, live it up
-Live it up, live it up
-Before we die like the dinosaurs
-Will you be ready when the big one comes
Prompting readiness for a major event
They got a plan to evacuate the rich
Referencing plans to protect the wealthy during a crisis, possibly critiquing societal inequality
I'm just waiting for the sound of drums
Anticipating the chaos of war and its impact on society
When the war hits the city they'll be living in a ditch
Foreseeing the difficulties faced by those not prepared for the war
The end is coming
Reiteration of the approaching end, emphasizing various environmental threats
Did you hear the word on the street
-The end is coming
-Tragedy, you know what I mean
-The end is coming
-Glaciers gone, super tsunamis
Specifically mentioning glacial melting and super tsunamis as threats
The end is coming and I want you to be coming with me
Expressing a desire for companionship during the impending environmental crisis
So we gotta live right here, right now, so let's
Reiterating the importance of living in the present moment
Live it up, live it up
Encouraging a celebratory attitude towards life before the perceived end
Live it up, live it up
-Live it up, live it up
-Before we die like the dinosaurs
-Live it up, live it up
-Live it up, live it up
-Live it up, live it up
-Before we die like the dinosaurs
Repeating the urgency to enjoy life before a catastrophic event, using the metaphor of dinosaur extinction
So we gotta live right here, right now
Emphasizing the need to live in the present moment before the perceived end
Before we die like the dinosaurs
-So we gotta live right here, right now
-Before we die like the dinosaurs
Reiterating the urgency to enjoy life before a catastrophic event, using the metaphor of dinosaur extinction
Tornados killed the pterodactyl
Describing historical events (tornados, comets, volcanoes) that led to the extinction of dinosaurs
Comets killed the kotasaurus
-Volcanoes killed velociraptors
-But we ain't nothin but mammals
Asserting that humans are also mammals, highlighting vulnerability
So, do you have a place to go?
Asking if there is a plan or place to go during a crisis
I have a shelter, you could come, just let me know
Offering shelter and inviting someone to join
We could talk over the sound of falling bombs
Suggesting a conversation amidst chaos, maintaining human connections
If she lives we could go have dinner with my mom
Humorous mention of having dinner plans despite the impending crisis
The end is coming
Reiteration of the approaching end, emphasizing various environmental threats
Did you hear the word on the street
-The end is coming
-Tragedy, you know what I mean
-The end is coming
-Fracking fires, burning all the bees
-Extinction's coming and I think you should be coming with me
-So we gotta live right here, right now, so let's
Reiterating the importance of living in the present moment
Live it up, live it up
Encouraging a celebratory attitude towards life before the perceived end
Live it up, live it up
