We Share Our Mother's Health

This song is clearly about the conflict between the enviromentalism and consumptionism, the female voice represents the first while the male voice represents the second.

We came down from the north Blue hands and a torch Red wine and food for free A possibility We share our mothers' health It is what we've been dealt What's in it for me? Fine Then I'll agree

Trees there will be Apples, fruits maybe You know what I fear The end is always near

The utopia here is man couping with the nature, a simple life our ancestors led thousands of years ago. When food had to be grown, and the life was short, and unsure. This passage is song by a woman's voice because women are more intune with the nature than men can ever be (figure yourselves why is that).

Say you like it Say you need it When you don't Looking better Shining brighter Than you do

The part that is being sung by a man, cuts in suddenly, and is louder than the woman's voice. It clearly represents the ideas that are almost fundamental in our western culture: consumption ("say you need and want it when you don't") the constant improvement that makes our science, and the strife to become the best (being famous is a clear symbol of that, shining better than others, even when in fact, you're not better than an ordinary joe).

Now the mens voice overpowers the female voice, that can be read as the dominance of men in the western culture, which pushed the woman back, at the same time pushed nature away. We made it submit to human needs, we produce more than we need, we have doctors and medicine so our lifes have greatly improved.

But is everthing ok? the title of this song seems to hint that there is a price we pay for all of this. And that we have hurt the planet and ourselves in the process, thus "We share our Mothers Health"
