So Long, Mother Earth Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fill you with lust
These sad eyes hurt no more
There's fire down below
'Cause time is now your bitch

[Pre-Chorus 1]
So with miles and miles to go, you never left
Or found your purpose
Get up you can and you will
Time is so vast and risky as hell
How dare we
Time is vast as hell
How dare we

[Chorus 1]
So long
Another view of mother earth
From other worlds

[Post-Chorus]
Imagine this

[Verse 2]
Connect
Well, I hope you like yourself
Connect
Such a perfect mind should know
Sold by this calm soulless beast
Fast as this rat comes to feast

[Pre-Chorus 2]
So with miles and miles to go, you never left
To find your purpose
Get up you can and you will
Life is a task and scary as hell
How dare we
Broken damage souls
How dare we

[Chorus 2]
So long
Another view of mother earth
From other worlds
So long
So what advice to Mother Earth?
You other worlds

[Post-Chorus]
Through those eyes
Through those eyes

[Chorus 2]
So long
Another view of mother earth
From other worlds
So long
So what advice to Mother Earth?
From other worlds
So long

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It’s about humans leaving earth toward another destination, perhaps another planet. The earth is on fire down below due to our negative influence on the planet. I think it’s also taking about how leaving earth isn’t changing anything and the next destination will suffer the same fate (you never left to find your purpose)... the way I take it is that we tend to think we are finding purpose but it’s always coming from a self-centered origin when true purpose comes from serving the world as a whole in one way or another (you never left to find your purpose... you left to be able to continue serving selfishness).
