Worlds Gonna End
Apocalyptic Reflections: Worlds in Peril by Codename Colin
Lyrics
We might as well do as we please because humans have fucked it
We might as well do as we please because humans have caused irreversible damage.
We turn a blind eye, we're not to blame for it
We choose to ignore the consequences and deny responsibility for the problems.
The well's run dry but we keep trying to take from it
Despite the depletion of resources, we continue to exploit and exhaust them.
I think the world's gonna end before I die
The speaker believes the world will end before their death due to human actions.
We keep on kidding ourselves that the world is gonna right our wrongs
We deceive ourselves into thinking that global issues will be corrected over time.
And that we shouldn't worry about a thing
There's a lack of concern, and we're advised not to worry about the deteriorating state of the world.
We're running low on supplies but we keep on over indulging in everything
Despite shortages, we continue excessive consumption without regard for consequences.
But it's ok as long as we're not suffering
Indulging in excess is deemed acceptable as long as it doesn't directly cause personal suffering.
The oceans are failing
The oceans are in decline, facing environmental issues.
But we just keep on taking
We continue to exploit resources even when it's clear they are dwindling.
The trees are disappearing
The destruction of forests and ecosystems is occurring without widespread concern.
But no one seems to care about the world we're destroying
The general apathy towards the environmental damage is highlighted.
We're a plague upon ourselves
The speaker sees humanity as a self-destructive force.
We're at the point of no return but we don't seem to fucking learn
Despite reaching a critical point, humanity fails to learn from its mistakes.
We're a plague upon ourselves
Reiteration of humanity's self-destructive nature.
When everything's gone with nowhere to turn
A point of no return is emphasized, with no solutions in sight.
Too little too late we'll all just burn
Humanity's efforts are too little, too late, leading to inevitable destruction.
Saving the world won't earn any money
Highlighting the lack of financial incentives for saving the world.
Pump the life from the earth, cut the forests down to nothing
Describing destructive actions like draining life from the earth and deforestation.
But it's ok as long as it's not our home being destroyed
Indifference towards environmental destruction unless it directly affects us.
It doesn't matter when the planet starts to crack
Environmental damage is dismissed until it directly impacts our living space.
In a few short years there will be nothing there to frack
Predicting the depletion of natural resources in a few years.
Once it's done there is no going back
Once environmental damage is done, it's irreversible.
The sea it keeps on rising
Reference to rising sea levels, a consequence of climate change.
The ice caps just keep melting
Mention of the ongoing melting of ice caps, contributing to rising sea levels.
Soon we'll all be drowning
A grim prediction of a future where drowning due to rising sea levels is imminent.
But no one seems to care about the world we're destroying
Emphasizes the lack of concern for the environmental crisis despite its severity.
