Apocalypse Man
Rising from Ashes: Apocalypse Man's Message of Redemption
Lyrics
The ageing dinosaurs
The older generation, symbolized as dinosaurs, is facing consequences or punishment.
Are finally serving time
They are now experiencing the consequences of their actions.
And in these tiny bits and pieces
In fragments, we perceive a vision of a better world.
We visualize
We imagine this improved world in small details.
A better world
A vision of a better world.
An even field
Equality and fairness for everyone.
And a final destination for the ones making us feel
A final destination for those causing harm and making others feel inferior.
A little smaller
We feel diminished or less significant.
Lost in the carbon
Feeling trapped in a carbon-based existence, possibly related to environmental concerns.
Stuck here consuming
Stuck in a cycle of consumption that is harmful.
All of the poison
Consuming toxic elements or ideas.
Stop calling your arms guns
Discouraging the use of arms as a solution to problems.
And listen to the person standing right beside you
Encouraging listening and understanding, especially from those close to you.
She's got a lotta shit that could change the world
A person has the potential to make a positive impact and change the world.
Stop calling your arms guns
Reiterating the discouragement of using arms as a solution.
I know you did what needed to be done
Acknowledging necessary actions in the past but questioning their relevance now.
But as the times change you look stuck out in the mud.
Feeling outdated or out of touch with changing times.
I zoned out with my privileges
Being oblivious to one's privileges.
And I whined about my job
Complaining about one's job despite having privileges.
And when the government came after me
Facing consequences from the government and seeking support from the public.
I pleaded to the mob
Appealing to the masses during a crisis.
I lit a torch
Engaging in symbolic protest or resistance.
I raised my voice
Taking a stand and speaking out.
But it did a lot more damage
The protest or action causes unintended harm due to its timing.
Being 20 years too late
A belated realization of the negative impact of past actions.
We have a problem
Acknowledging a current problem.
Please forgive us
Seeking forgiveness for the mistakes of the past.
For our fathers work
Apologizing for the actions of previous generations.
And brothers words
Apologizing for the words of past generations that contributed to blindness.
Illuminating blindness
Revealing the obscured truth or reality.
They say fools seldom differ
Referencing a saying about the similarities between fools.
And a cough turns to a cold
Minor issues escalate into more significant problems.
The virus makes our winter season
Comparing a viral outbreak to a season of hardship.
A fortnights weight in gold
The impact of the virus is as valuable as a fortnight's worth of gold.
It's a simple chain reaction
A cause-and-effect relationship affecting everyone, from the wealthy to the poor.
From the richest to the poor
The system works against those in need.
And the system works against her
Inheriting a flawed system.
We inherit
Repetition emphasizing the inheritance of a broken system.
We inherit
-A fire
Inheriting a destructive force or situation.
A pile of garbage
Inheriting a significant amount of waste or negativity.
A soul survival
The survival of the soul amid challenges.
The end of all we love
An acknowledgment of the inevitable end of cherished aspects of life.
Stop calling your arms guns
Reiterating the discouragement of using arms as a solution.
I know you got a lot to prove now days
Recognizing the need for proof or validation in today's world.
But you should shut your mouth
Advising thoughtful consideration instead of impulsive speech.
And use your brain for once
