Flight Song
Eyes on the Horizon: Climate's Urgent Call
Lyrics
She stares at the sky
She is gazing at the sky.
How her mouth hangs open wide
Her mouth is wide open in astonishment or shock.
How the tears form in her eye
Tears are forming in her eyes, suggesting emotional distress.
As the engines rumble by
The noise of engines passing by, possibly representing a disturbance or change.
Aha! Oh Yeah!
Expressing a realization or acknowledgment with enthusiasm.
Aha! Oh Yeah!
-She stares at the sun
She is looking at the sun and questioning human impact on the environment.
Says "My god what have we done?"
Expresses concern or regret about human actions.
Its getting hotter by the day
Describing the increasing heat and its impact on melting ice.
Its melting all the ice away
-Aha! Oh Yeah!
Reiteration of acknowledgment or realization with enthusiasm.
Aha! Oh Yeah!
-Men with money don't wanna stay
Wealthy individuals are leaving, abandoning those without means.
Building rockers to run away
-All the people with the funds
-Save themselves, leave everyone
-I say you'll be fine
Assuring that everything will be fine, downplaying environmental concerns.
What's a little degree or nine
-Its just a little deeper at low tide
-Its just little warmer in the summertime
-Aha! Oh yeah!
Expressing amusement or disbelief at claims about the world's dangerous state.
Aha! Oh Yeah!
-Laughing at the claims
Laughing at the idea that the world is in danger until a catastrophic event occurs.
That the world is living through dangerous day
-Till I'm swept away by a tidal wave
-And none of the continents
-Look the same
-Aha! Oh Yeah!
Reiteration of acknowledgment or realization with enthusiasm.
Aha! Oh Yeah!
-Men with money don't wanna stay
Wealthy individuals are running away, even if their actions harm others.
Building rockets to run away
-Like a looney with a gun
-Threat to themselves
-To everyone
-Warming all the time
Commentary on global warming and its consequences being considered a relic.
This should surely be a crime
-Do you want ice with that, never mind
-Its relic of a bygone time
-Aha! Oh Yeah!
Reiteration of acknowledgment or realization with enthusiasm.
Aha! Oh Yeah!
-People live in fear
People fearing the end and suffering from environmental pollution.
Some say that the end is near
-They're choking on the atmosphere
-They're waiting for the lung to clear
-Aha! Oh Yeah!
Reiteration of acknowledgment or realization with enthusiasm.
Aha! Oh Yeah!
-Men with money don't wanna stay
Wealthy individuals leaving Earth, leaving others behind, emphasizing social inequality.
They build rockets to run away
-All the people with the worth
-Leaving their brothers way back on earth
