Borrowed Time
Awakening Earth: A Cry for Action Against Nature's Decline
Lyrics
Deny the fucking science, but the evidence is there
Denial of scientific facts despite the available evidence.
The world's on fire so you better start to care
The world is in crisis (on fire), urging the listener to take action.
Temperature's rising, sea level's getting high
Global warming is evident through rising temperatures and sea levels.
Exhausted our resources, the well is running dry
Depletion of resources, emphasizing the impending scarcity (well running dry).
Pollution in the air, cutting down the forest
Environmental degradation, including air pollution and deforestation.
Overshoot day is already upon us
Overshoot day indicates resource consumption surpassing Earth's capacity.
You need to wake up, you need to finally see
An urgent call for awareness and understanding of the environmental crisis.
You need to realise that there is no planet B
Recognition that there is no alternative planet (no planet B).
We've lost, the tide is turning
Conveying a sense of defeat, acknowledging a turning point against humanity.
We're dead, cos the world is burning
Highlighting the severity of the situation – the world is in flames.
Our end will become a fact
Expressing a fatalistic view that the end is inevitable.
If we fail to act now
An urgent plea to take action immediately to prevent a grim fate.
We're living on borrowed time, the future is gone
Stressing that time is running out, and the future is compromised.
We've doomed our kids humanity can't go on
The consequences have affected future generations, endangering humanity.
Led by morons, not a semblance of sentience
Criticism of leaders lacking intelligence and awareness.
Bound by our greed, blinding by our arrogance
Being bound by greed and blinded by arrogance, hindering positive change.
They'll only be content when the world is left a husk
Leaders' satisfaction only when the world is devastated (left a husk).
Death and decay, it has a certain musk
Describing the aftermath with death and decay having a noticeable scent.
We've can't go back, there is no reset
Emphasizing the irreversible nature of the damage, no chance to reset.
We are humanities greatest fucking threat
Declaring humanity as the greatest threat to itself.
