Man on the Moon
Challenging Societal Hypocrisy: Man's Quest for Change
Lyrics
Hey, we need to talk
Expressing a need for a conversation.
I'm getting tired of politicians, their excuses and their forked tongues
Expressing frustration with politicians and their deceptive speech.
They put a man on the moon
Acknowledging the achievement of putting a man on the moon.
But now they're blinded by the money from the gasses filling our lungs
Criticizing the prioritization of money over environmental concerns, referencing air pollution.
Stand your ground, as you turn it upside down
Encouraging standing firm while causing a significant change.
Let the tide roll in as a solid rain
Symbolizing change with the metaphor of tide rolling in as a solid rain.
And don't mind me
Downplaying one's significance in the grand scheme.
I'm just another worthless nobody
Expressing a feeling of insignificance.
But I'll do my best to make a change
Committing to making a positive difference despite feeling insignificant.
We took the power into our own hands
Describing taking control and power in one's own hands.
Like we were Gods in our own lands
Feeling god-like in one's own domain.
But when it comes to judgement day
Considering the consequences on judgment day for one's actions.
What will God say
Pondering what God will say about how humanity squandered its opportunities.
About how we had it all and we threw it all away
Reflecting on the abundance wasted and lost.
Stand your ground, as you turn it upside down
Reiterating the call to stand firm while causing significant change.
Let the tide roll in as a solid rain
Symbolizing change with the metaphor of tide rolling in as a solid rain.
And don't mind me
Downplaying one's significance in the grand scheme.
I'm just another worthless nobody
Expressing a feeling of insignificance.
But I'll do my best to make a change
Committing to making a positive difference despite feeling insignificant.
It won't be long before its gone (Hold on, Hold on to me!)
Anticipating the imminent loss of something valuable, urging to hold on.
You know this life aren't very long
Highlighting the brevity of life.
We've always gotta have it all (Oh yeah, oh yeah I said)
Commenting on society's constant pursuit of material possessions.
A new television or a barbie doll
Mentioning specific examples of consumerism – a new television or a barbie doll.
Stand your ground, as you turn it upside down
Reiterating the call to stand firm while causing significant change.
Let the tide roll in as a solid rain
Symbolizing change with the metaphor of tide rolling in as a solid rain.
And don't mind me
Downplaying one's significance in the grand scheme.
I'm just another worthless nobody
Expressing a feeling of insignificance.
But I'll do my best to make a change
Committing to making a positive difference despite feeling insignificant.
