Lyrics
They try to hide it
Acknowledgment of an attempt to conceal something.
and most of us just straight deny it
Many people refuse to accept or admit the truth.
But things are changing
Recognition of ongoing changes in the world.
and soon we'll be too far from saving
Fear that the situation is reaching a point where it may be irreversible.
So what happens to the rest of us?
Questioning the fate of the general population.
When the ice has melted
Imagining a scenario where the ice caps have melted due to climate change.
Cities fall and turn to dust
Describing the catastrophic consequences: cities crumbling and turning to dust.
What happens when we've lost control?
Pondering the outcome of losing control over global events.
and nobody cares enough
Expressing a lack of concern or apathy from others.
To try and save us all
Highlighting the need for collective effort to save the planet.
The world was crying
Reflecting on the world's distress, possibly due to environmental damage.
And we just watched as she lay dying
Observing a passive response as the world suffers.
Then broke her silence
Noting a change in the world's condition and the emergence of a global crisis.
See now we're in a Global Crises.
Explicitly stating the current global crisis.
So what happens to the rest of us?
Reiteration of concern for the general population.
When the ice has melted
Continuing the imagery of environmental devastation.
Cities fall and turn to dust
Reinforcing the catastrophic vision: cities disintegrating.
What happens when we've lost control?
Repeating the concern about losing control on a global scale.
and nobody cares enough
Emphasizing the lack of care or action from others.
To try and save us all
Underlining the urgency of collective action to save humanity.
What happens to the rest of us?
Reiteration of the inquiry about the fate of the general population.
When the ice has melted
Revisiting the imagery of melted ice and fallen cities.
Cities fall and turn to dust
Reemphasizing the dire consequences of environmental neglect.
What happens when we've lost control?
Repeating the concern over losing control globally.
and nobody cares enough
Reiterating the lack of concern or action from others.
To try and save us all
Restating the need for collective efforts to save humanity.
