Gojira – Amazonia Lyrics 3 years ago
I may be stretching a bit, I know the song is about the Amazon, but also the inevitability of humanity\'s desire to consume and feed uncontrollably.\n\nthe lyrics "Embedded in these walls of green, is the curse that we follow"\nhas me thinking that it is humanity\'s inevitable desire to consume and feed off of the resources to drain them completely. This also goes hand with the previous lyrics "another gold mine is unveiled, the source of our sorrow which could mean the land being the goldmine is used for anything that institutions decide to do with, which is a big part of what is hurting nature, or "our sorrow" \n\nI can compare humanity to something such as a Virus as something that feeds off of another being(s) life force to sustain itself until everything has been used up and consumed and the lifeless corpse of what was a being dies and deteriorates into nothing. \n\nThough the thought of maybe sustaining some kind of middle ground of living in a state of sustainability for the human species and the planet and all the other beings would be ideal, but it is humanity\'s inevitable curse to always do too much of one or the other unconsciously as it is also living and with how many humans there are and how many resources they use up simply existing can be hard to sustain.\n\nI think I might be stretching just a bit but this is just what came to mind when I was listening to the song!
