Reincarnation
Reincarnation Reflections: A Haunting Glimpse into Life's Cycles
Lyrics
The thing that I fear most is that
The speaker's greatest fear is reincarnation.
I'll die and come right back
Expressing concern about the possibility of being reborn after death.
Watch concrete choke this planet
Observing the negative impact of urbanization and industrialization on Earth.
Watch our murderous leaders attack it
Criticizing leaders for destructive actions against the planet.
And if it's the end times now
Contemplating the idea that the current era might be apocalyptic.
Then I don't like the sound of what comes next
Expressing discomfort with the potential consequences of the future.
But I guess I'll take it
Resigned acceptance of the uncertain future.
And I'll see you the next time around
Anticipating meeting others in the next cycle of life.
Can't take another round of this stiff drink
Expressing a desire to avoid experiencing life again.
You should cut me off at the neck, I think
Suggesting self-harm to prevent reincarnation.
Burn all the crops and salt the ground
Advocating for a radical approach to prevent future suffering.
Pray for me I don't come back
Pleading not to be reborn in the next life.
I don't want another go around
Expressing a strong aversion to another life cycle.
I hope I never live to see the 22nd century
Hoping not to witness the 22nd century, suggesting a bleak outlook.
I don't have much hope for our so-called "society"
Lack of optimism regarding contemporary society.
I'll take what I can get today
Embracing the present and appreciating what's available.
Live as close to the land as I can
Choosing a simple and close-to-nature lifestyle.
And if I die today and I'm reincarnated
Considering the possibility of reincarnation after death.
Maybe next time I'll make us a plan
Planning to make positive changes in the next life.
Maybe next time I'll make a goddamn fucking difference
Expressing a determination to make a significant impact in the future.
By living in a tree or
Suggesting unconventional living choices to make a difference.
At the hands of the policeman
Highlighting potential risks and challenges in making a difference.
If I'm coming right back around
Questioning the significance of caring in the face of reincarnation.
Why should I even care about
Reflecting on the lack of importance of material wealth in the long run.
My bank account or credit score?
Questioning the relevance of financial status in the cycle of life and death.
'Cause I'll get it the next time, I swear
Expressing confidence in acquiring material wealth in the next life.
Can't take another round of this stiff drink
Repetition of the desire to avoid another cycle of life.
You should cut me off at the neck, I think
Reiterating the suggestion of self-harm to prevent reincarnation.
Burn all the crops and salt the ground
Repeating the call for drastic measures to prevent future suffering.
Pray for me I don't come back
Repetition of the plea not to be reborn.
I don't want another go around
Strongly expressing the desire to avoid another life cycle.
