A Swarm of Bees
Reflections on Humanity's Failures: A Swarm of Bees
Lyrics
Keep listening as I speak
Encouraging continued attention while speaking.
There will be one true reckoning
Anticipating a definite moment of judgment or accountability.
We're gathering as we prevail
Coming together and gaining strength as we succeed.
So I will sail before we fail
Choosing to depart before experiencing failure.
As the world keeps spinning around
Despite the world's constant motion, striving for stability.
We're trying to grab a piece of ground
Attempting to secure a place or identity in a changing world.
I simply can't complete any sort of feat aside from breathing.
Expressing inability to accomplish anything significant beyond basic survival.
Increase in temperature is the fault of all, we suffocate ourselves
Attributing rising temperatures to our own actions, causing suffocation.
We are only breathing
Emphasizing the primary act of survival: breathing.
There are so many ways to rearrange there are so many reasons that life must change
Highlighting the myriad ways and reasons life undergoes change.
Look to the children who have no home
Directing attention to homeless children, neglected by society.
Look to the children, what have they done?
Questioning the innocence and responsibility of children in societal issues.
We paved the roads of destruction, what have we done
Acknowledging human responsibility in creating paths of devastation.
We paved the roads of destruction, we've let them down
Expressing a sense of disappointment or betrayal in failing the younger generation.
What are we waiting for
Pondering the delay in taking necessary action.
Never again will we see the worlds dreams.
Declaring a belief that the collective aspirations of the world won't be witnessed again.
They're all dying.
Indicating the imminent demise of those dreams.
We are the visitors here and the air is failing.
Realizing our role as temporary guests and observing the declining environment.
There is no world to punish, we destroyed it all.
Asserting that there's no external force to punish us; we've caused the destruction ourselves.
