The Dance of the Insane
Dance of Despair: A Call to Save Our Burning World
Lyrics
Fire in the forest,
Reference to a destructive force symbolized by "Fire in the forest."
It burns with no rest;
Emphasizes the continuous and unrelenting nature of the destructive fire.
Smoke darkens the sky,
Describes the environmental impact, with smoke darkening the sky.
Despair is in the air...
Expresses a sense of hopelessness and distress permeating the atmosphere.
Birds resist to leave their breed alone,
Wildlife reluctance to abandon their habitat amid the destructive events.
Deer, monkeys, jaguars, bees and butterflies
Lists various animals facing displacement: deer, monkeys, jaguars, bees, and butterflies.
Will find no home, will just be gone.
Indicates the inevitable loss of homes for these creatures.
On the other side, people live their lives
Contrasts the obliviousness of some people to the environmental crisis.
As if it was a funny game,
Describes people's attitude towards life as if it were a frivolous game.
Dancing the dance of the insane;
Introduces the concept of "Dancing the dance of the insane" as a metaphor for destructive behavior.
Setting the world on fire,
Suggests the intentional destruction caused by people, likened to setting the world on fire.
To feed selfish desires
Implies that destructive actions are driven by selfish desires.
Till the day they will awake
Anticipates a moment of awakening or realization for those responsible.
And probably gonna be too late
Foresees regret for the delayed understanding, possibly when it's too late.
To realize that the fire they set
Reflects on the consequences of the destructive actions, with the fire now smoldering.
Is now smoldering under their seats,
Specifies that the consequences are now affecting the perpetrators directly.
They will be then so upset
Anticipates the emotional response of regret and upset when individuals realize the aftermath.
About what they will see
Emphasizes the impact on individuals when they finally comprehend the broader consequences.
That we all are just as one,
Highlights the interconnectedness of humanity as one entity.
Sharing the same planet home
Stresses the shared responsibility for the planet as a collective home.
On fire....
Reiterates the urgency with the repetition of "On fire."
Birds, bees and butterflies, monkeys, deer and jaguars,
Repeats the fate of wildlife losing their homes due to human actions.
Will find no home, will just be gone.
Reiterates the theme of loss for wildlife as humans persist in their destructive behavior.
While some people play their vain and funny game,
Restates the idea of people engaging in a frivolous and destructive "game."
Dancing the dance of the insane.
Repeats the metaphor of "Dancing the dance of the insane" to emphasize human folly.
Save the Amazon forest and all the rain forests
Issues a plea to save the Amazon forest and rainforests, connecting personal protest to environmental conservation.
Before it’s too late, this is my humble protest.
Underlines the urgency of the plea by stating it's a humble protest and warns of potential irreversible consequences.
