One Home
Echoes of Our Only Home
Lyrics
We got a couple years, to try to make it right
We have a limited time, a few years, to try to improve our situation.
Its never on the news, its always out of sight
Important issues are often not covered in the news and remain unnoticed.
We wonder why the kids protest
Questioning why young people engage in protests.
Its probably 'cus they know what's best
Suggesting that the youth may have a better understanding of what's right.
We've only got one home
Highlighting the significance of the Earth as our only home.
Maybe we're all alone
Expressing the possibility that humanity feels isolated or disconnected.
See I don't want to know
Expressing a desire not to be informed about certain things.
When you say you don't, you say you don't
Referring to a situation where someone claims not to do something.
Drink too much and then talk too little
Describing a pattern of excessive drinking and inadequate communication.
Smoke outside, we'll never get rid of these thoughts in our head
Suggesting that externalizing problems may not resolve inner conflicts.
We build them instead 'til we blow
Building up issues until they reach a breaking point.
We don't know about the middle
Expressing lack of awareness or understanding about a certain situation or concept.
Know, know, know, know about the middle
Repeating the lack of knowledge or awareness about the middle or a specific aspect.
Know, know, know, know about the middle
-They never teach us what we need to know
Criticizing the education system for not providing essential knowledge.
They barely teach us how we should grow
Indicating a lack of emphasis on personal growth in education.
You gotta try to learn for yourself
Encouraging individuals to seek knowledge independently.
You gotta try to better yourself 'cus
Stressing the importance of self-improvement.
We've only got one home
Reiterating the importance of taking care of our planet, our only home.
Maybe we're all alone
Repeating the notion that we might feel isolated or alone.
See I don't want to know
Reiterating the desire not to know certain things.
When you say you don't, you say you don't
Reference to someone denying involvement in a particular action.
Drink too much and then talk too little
Describing a pattern of drinking excessively and communicating inadequately.
Smoke outside, we'll never get rid of these thoughts in our head
Suggesting that external habits won't resolve inner conflicts.
We build them instead 'til we blow
Building up issues until they reach a breaking point (repeated).
We don't know about the middle
Expressing lack of awareness or understanding about a certain situation or concept (repeated).
Know, know, know, know about the middle
Repeating the lack of knowledge or awareness about the middle or a specific aspect (repeated).
Know, know, know, know about the middle
