The War on Trees
Environmental Reckoning: Unchecked Impact
Lyrics
My sympathies to anyone who never asked for this
Expressing sympathy for those who didn't seek the situation they're in.
Just appreciated what they had and wrote themselves a list
People were content with what they had but made a list of things they appreciated.
A molehill never has to be a mountain you can't climb
A small problem doesn't need to become insurmountable.
Level heads are achievable if you can spare the time
Having a clear mind is possible if you allocate time for it.
But you let it get out of hand
Someone allowed a situation to escalate.
Why'd you let it get out of hand
Questioning why the situation was allowed to escalate.
And now you're forced to rearrange your plans
Consequence of letting things spiral - plans need to be reorganized now.
Did you let it get out of hand
Reiterating the fact that it got out of hand.
Bet you let it get out of hand
Asserting a belief that the situation escalated due to negligence.
And now I hope you understand
Expressing hope for comprehension of the gravity of the situation.
That we can't
An inability to sustain a plentiful environment for future generations.
Keep beauty in abundance for the generation's sake
Offering condolences for those affected negatively by current actions or behaviors.
Condolences to every soul that bleeds softly in our wake
Describing the repercussions of ignorance as an unpleasant destiny.
A consequence of ignorance
Indecision arising from a compromised mental state.
What an ugly fate
Repeated assertion about allowing a situation to spiral.
Indecision is the decision of a compromised state
Emphasizing the assumption that the situation escalated due to negligence.
But you let it get out of hand
Repetition indicating the extent or emphasis on how much the situation was allowed to escalate.
