Lyrics
Ignorance is bliss, the power's in the lie
Ignorance is seen as comforting, and the ability to deceive holds power.
Willing ears will listen so you don't have to say it twice
People are willing to hear and accept lies without the need for repetition.
Our seas are crying oceans and our skies are filled with grey
Nature is suffering, with oceans crying and skies filled with grey, possibly indicating environmental degradation.
I'm sick and tired of all the lies, lying in this bed that we've made
Frustration with the falsehoods, lying in a metaphorical bed created by collective actions.
We're fooling ourselves with a conscience that's fake
We deceive ourselves with a fake sense of morality.
We keep calling out when there's nothing left to say
Communication is futile when there's nothing meaningful left to say.
We're pointing the finger with only ourselves to blame
Blaming others when the responsibility lies within ourselves.
And now we've got to wave this world goodbye
A decision to part ways with the current state of the world.
We might as well just wave this world goodbye
Suggesting a collective decision to bid farewell to the world.
Oh where's the voice of reason? Where's the love inside us?
Questioning the absence of reason and love within humanity.
Yeah we can act like we care with our thoughts and prayers; they ain't gonna save us
Mocking the ineffectiveness of caring expressions like thoughts and prayers.
See our children dying, Hear a mothers cry
Highlighting the harsh reality of children dying and mothers grieving.
We gotta recognise another simple way of life before we say goodbye
Advocating for recognizing simpler ways of life before it's too late.
Goodbye
Repetition of the word "Goodbye" emphasizing the finality of the decision.
Goodbye
Reiteration of the farewell theme.
We've got to wave this world goodbye
Reaffirmation of the decision to part ways with the world.
We might as well just, might as well just wave this world goodbye
Suggesting a resolution to bid farewell to the world.
Say goodbye
Explicitly stating the act of saying goodbye.
We're the enemy of all we know, We never listen we just burn it all
Humanity is its own enemy, recklessly destroying everything without listening.
We're destroying everything that we love
Expressing the paradox of destroying what is loved.
We love
Reiteration of the theme of love being at the core of the issue.
Our lack of love is so criminal, we don't give enough but we want it all
Criticizing the criminal lack of love and insatiable desires.
No sympathy for anyone who don't live inside of our four walls
Lack of sympathy for those outside one's immediate environment.
We've got to stop passing the blame 'cause all we do is feed the hate
Advocating for an end to blaming others, as it fuels hatred.
This world's become a place of shame and I can't take it
Expressing the world as a source of shame and the speaker's inability to tolerate it.
'Cause we're feeding on so many lies full of hate
Critiquing the consumption of lies and hate.
We keep calling out when there's no one left to save
Repetition of futile calls for help when there's no one left to save.
We're pointing the finger with only ourselves to blame
Blaming oneself rather than others, acknowledging personal responsibility.
And now we've got to wave this world goodbye
Reiteration of the decision to part ways with the world.
It's time to say goodbye
Emphasizing the timeliness of saying goodbye.
Wave this world goodbye
Repetition of the phrase "Wave this world goodbye" for emphasis.
Goodbye, bye to the world
A final farewell to the world.
Wave this world goodbye
