| Kansas – Song For America Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
This song basically highlights humanity's disregard for nature. It mainly centers around the Colonists sailing to what would become the United States of America. The Colonists came with good intentions that would end up going bad, what with the killing of the Native Americans, and how we've essentially destroyed the land and its beauty, and continue to do so, with regard to the latter, in the modern day. We destroyed what was once a paradise. Here's the one part the rest of you failed to mention: "So we rule this land, and here we stand upon our paradise- Dreaming of a place, our weary race is ready to arise"... That is meant to be a warning with regard to space exploration. Essentially, they're saying humanity is a greedy, destructive race that hasn't learned to live peacefully with even itself, let alone nature. They're saying that we have no business exploring space, because we'll end up taking the very same disregard, disrespect and destruction we have spread all over Earth, to wherever we travel to in space and attempt to colonize. |
