"Well, it's too much to lose Ooh, it's time for self-destruct They don't care what the science says They don't wanna talk, no" (Climate deniers don't care what the science says, it's too much to be wrong, they'd rather self-destruct) 'Cause this time, ready or not This time, you fought us all 'Cause this time, you want it all, right You want it all, right Ten million other lives (Sea level displacement is expected to effect 10million people with a 1-2* Celsius increase [350 . org/science/] How can we save And how in this time The lessons we've learned To rescue the mind before it's gone (How can we save what we have left, with so little time remaining. How can we convince others to set aside tribalism long enough to achieve common goals?) |

I think this one is about former President Trump. Yeah, he does have a space thing going on with this album, but it's space as a consistent metaphor. Keep in mind that the other lead single, Self Destruct, was about climate change deniers, so this one being political isn't really that much more of a stretch. "Way out alone I sat up cold Can feel those crooked claws Steal hope" (writer wakes up from a nightmare) "Little man Little man, I guess Little hands Show your taste For all the gold in nome" (Little man - Trump was often portrayed as being short and fat, despite not being very short. He was frequently teased for having little hands, and for having very gaudy gold-everything. I believe "Nome" should be capitalized, Nome was the site a famous gold rush.) "Gentleman He says, "Just grab that peach" Who will know? Who do you trust? Who do you?" (The former President famously said, when speaking on taking advantage of women, that he could just "grab em by the p*ssy". Peach is a common substitute in pop-culture for vagina). "Who do you trust now? They'll take your arms now Then take your legs off Then take my hands now Who do you trust now?" (It's a common right wing talking point that "they", whether "they" is the left or immigrants, will take everything from right wing voters, as well as sewing mistrust in science and any non-conservative journalism. Who do you trust now?) "No conscious No conscious This narcissist with his conscious fits" (Former President was commonly referred to as The Narcissist by American late night and lacking a conscious by liberal op-eds. He threw "conscious fits" / temper tantrums on Twitter regularly.) |
