Trapped in Snugness
Awakening from Dormancy: Permutation's Message on Environmental Crisis
Lyrics
We know the earth is warming, we know the system´s failed
We acknowledge global warming, recognizing the failure of the existing system.
Diversity is perishing, life can`t be recreated
Biodiversity is diminishing, and once lost, life cannot be restored.
We build up toxic mountains, drown in polluted seas
We are creating hazardous mountains of waste and facing the consequences in polluted oceans.
Stand on the fruitless soil, sickening air and dying trees
Standing on unproductive soil, surrounded by unhealthy air, and witnessing the demise of trees.
We are lost in dormancy, trapped in snugness
Humanity is in a state of inactivity, trapped in a false sense of security.
We know the truth but won´t see that we‘re standing on the edge
Despite knowing the harsh reality, we refuse to acknowledge our precarious position.
We are lost in dormancy, trapped in snugness
Continuation of the theme of dormancy and complacency in the face of impending challenges.
We know the truth but won´t see that downfall has just begun
We understand the truth but remain oblivious to the imminent downfall.
Your profit won´t save you, the force that you build up
Material wealth and success cannot provide salvation when faced with inevitable consequences.
Is void and forgotten, when your time has run out
Any influence or power amassed becomes insignificant when one's time is up.
Obsceneness won´t save you from death by starvation
Indulgence and excess won't prevent death from starvation, especially in the context of self-inflicted global crop failures.
When worldwide crop failure is self-made damnation
Highlighting the irony of human actions leading to worldwide crop failure as a form of self-made damnation.
We are lost in dormancy, trapped in snugness
Reiteration of the theme of dormancy and the feeling of being ensnared in comfort.
We know the truth but won´t see that we‘re standing on the edge
Despite knowing the truth, we ignore the fact that we are teetering on the brink of disaster.
We are lost in dormancy, trapped in snugness
Continuation of the sense of being lost in inaction and complacency.
We know the truth but won´t see that downfall has begun
Awareness of the truth is present, but the realization of impending downfall is deliberately ignored.
Pandemic disease, aridity and floods
Reference to various crises such as pandemics, droughts, and floods, suggesting a grim future.
Conflagration, extinction is our destination
Describing a scenario of destruction and predicting extinction as the ultimate outcome.
We are lost in dormancy, trapped in snugness
Reiteration of the theme of being trapped in dormancy despite the looming threats.
We know the truth but won´t see that we‘re standing on the edge
We remain blind to the reality of standing at the edge of a crisis.
We are lost in dormancy, trapped in snugness
Continuation of the theme of being lost in inaction and comfort.
We know the truth but won´t see that downfall has begun
Despite knowing the truth, we fail to recognize that the downfall has already commenced.
There are toxic mountains, there are polluted seas
Repetition of the environmental degradation, emphasizing the dire state of the planet.
There are fruitless soil, sickening air and dying trees
Highlighting the environmental problems of unproductive soil, polluted air, and dying trees.
