Lyrics

Seven billion fishes swimming in a bowl

Seven billion people living in a confined and limited environment

seven billion fishes have no goal

Humanity lacks a clear purpose or direction

seven billion kittens on a ball of yarn

A metaphor for the playful and carefree nature of people

seven billion chickens in a barn

An image representing crowded and confined living spaces


The glaciers are melting

Describing the environmental impact of climate change

the sky is turning gray

Indicating a negative transformation in the atmosphere

everybody's dying

Recognition of mortality and the inevitability of death

just not today

Suggesting a temporary reprieve from immediate dangers

why should we stay? when we can head on out to Mars

Questioning the reasons for staying on Earth when there's an option to explore Mars


Seven billion puppies playing in the sand

Symbolizing innocence and joy in a carefree setting

seven billion puppies have no plan

Reflecting a lack of long-term planning or purpose

seven billion birdies flying in the air

Expressing the freedom of birds, possibly in contrast to the confined humans

seven billion cows, they don't care

Depicting a lack of concern or awareness among a large population


The glaciers are melting

Reiteration of the environmental consequences, emphasizing urgency

the sky is turning gray

Reinforcement of the negative environmental shift

everybody's dying

Acknowledging the common fate of mortality

just not today

Emphasizing the postponement of inevitable challenges

why should we stay?

Raising a rhetorical question about the value of staying on Earth
