Earth's Anthem: Rejecting Conformity
Lyrics
I fell asleep watching planet earth and dreamt about the end times
I had a dream about the apocalypse while watching "Planet Earth."
There was only jellyfish and no one left to tell me to appreciate it
In the dream, only jellyfish remained, and no one reminded me to appreciate the world.
The earth is not your mother or your keeper or your lover
Earth is not a nurturing figure; it didn't choose to undergo the changes humans brought upon it.
She didn't ask for any of this
Earth didn't request the current state it's in.
She doesn't owe you shit
The earth doesn't owe anything to humanity.
Fuck yer lawns plant a garden
Reject traditional norms like maintaining lawns; instead, focus on creating a garden.
Fuck yer landscape fuck a handshake
Disregard societal landscapes and formalities like handshakes.
You cant make me sing the earth is crying
Refusing to sing about the earth's distress because it's the individual who will face the consequences.
It's me who's gonna die
Personal acknowledgment of impending mortality.
And she will be fine
Assurance that the earth will survive despite human demise.
How many times does David Attenborough have to put a special out
Rhetorical question about the frequency of David Attenborough's environmental specials.
Will you watch it in your Tesla with a sirloin in your mouth
Mocking the idea of watching environmental content in luxury (Tesla) with extravagance (sirloin).
I could wax poetic about all beauty of the forest
Acknowledging the beauty of the forest but highlighting the pre-existing harsh conditions.
But before us was primordial hell so let's just cue the chorus
Advocating for a straightforward response rather than poetic contemplation.
Fuck yer lawns plant a garden
Reiteration of the rejection of traditional landscaping for personal cultivation.
Fuck yer landscape fuck a handshake
Rejection of societal norms and formalities.
You cant make me sing the earth is crying
Resistance to singing about the earth's distress as it's the individual who faces the consequences.
It's me who's gonna die
Reiteration of personal acknowledgment of impending mortality.
And she will be fine
Reassurance that the earth will endure despite human mortality.
It's not armageddon, no, it's slow but it's getting worse
Clarification that it's not an immediate apocalypse but a gradual worsening of conditions.
Waters rise from high rises you can bet who perishes first
Highlighting the vulnerability of those in high-rises to rising waters in environmental crises.
Tell Thomas Malthus he can suck it he's a fuckin classist prick
Criticizing Thomas Malthus and his class-based views, rejecting the concept of scarcity.
Scarcity's a lie we're fed so we don't eat the rich
Asserting that scarcity is a fabricated notion to prevent challenging the wealthy.
So fuck yer lawns plant a garden
Reiteration of rejecting traditional landscaping for personal cultivation.
Fuck yer landscape fuck a handshake
Rejection of societal norms and formalities.
There's no compromising oceans rising
Emphasizing the non-negotiable rise of oceans due to environmental issues.
Fuck your profit we're fuckin dying
Rejecting the pursuit of profit when humanity is facing existential threats.
Forests reborn from the ashes
Expressing hope for regeneration of forests from destruction.
Mother earth won't kiss our asses
Believing that Mother Earth won't tolerate human arrogance.
We can thrive or we can die, she won't wonder why
Humanity has a choice between thriving and perishing, and the earth won't question the outcome.
Cause she will be fine
Reassurance that the earth will endure despite human choices and actions.
