Lyrics
Signs are in the air
Signs of change or challenges are evident.
We spent it all too quickly
Expenditure was rapid, possibly without consideration.
No one seems to care
There is a lack of concern or attention from others.
Until there cup is empty
People only realize the value when their resources are depleted.
We fought and we survived
Survival after conflicts reveals a population surplus.
To find we are too many
Realization that the population is too large.
And now there's no more left to pour
No more resources are available from a once abundant source.
From the horn of plenty
Metaphorical reference to the exhaustion of available blessings.
Well the summer lulled us into dreams
The pleasantness of summer led to unrealistic expectations.
And we didn't plan ahead too well
Failure to plan adequately for the future.
Now it looks like were in for a long
Anticipation of enduring a prolonged difficult period.
Cold spell
Expression of being in a challenging situation.
Tell me what you see
Request for insight or understanding.
Underneath your microscope
Asking for observations at a detailed level.
Tell me what you hear
Seeking information from a broad perspective.
In your giant telescope i would like to know
Curiosity about potential threats or concerns.
If there's something to my fear
Apprehension about a future characterized by depletion.
That we'll be fossil fuel
Concern about humanity becoming a depleted resource.
In another million years
Reflection on the finite nature of human existence.
Well the summer lulled us into dreams
Recollection of the deceptive allure of a comfortable past.
And we didn't plan ahead too well
Acknowledgment of inadequate future planning.
Now it looks like were in for a long
Recognition of entering a prolonged challenging period.
Cold spell
Reiteration of being in a difficult situation.
Well the summer lulled us into dreams
Reiteration of the impact of summer's deceptive influence.
And we didn't plan ahead too well
Reiteration of the failure to plan for the future.
Now it looks like were in for a long
Reiteration of the anticipation of a prolonged difficult period.
Cold spell
Reiteration of expressing being in a challenging situation.
