Mother Man Lyrics

Cover art for Mother Man lyrics by Atheist

The vocalist states before this song in a live recording that it is (at least to some degree) about marijuana legalization. I think that'd only be these 3 lines though: And nature becomes illegal According to rules Made by fools

Incorrect. He said they dedicate the song to the cause of legalization of marijuana when they play it live. It is not explicitly what the song is about.

The song is clearly about nature falling to mankind.

Combining the fact that he dedicates the song to marijuana legalization, I think the "nature becomes illegal" thing is clearly about pot. Anyway, yes, of course the rest of the song is about man's rape of the natural world. The two ideas are not incompatible.

Yeah, no. I think that line is more just talking about how we're destroying nature so fast it seems like we want it to just be gone.

Atheist isn't really the type of band to just throw in a "legalize pot bro SWED SWED SWED" in the middle of a serious song... Even if they do dedicate it to legalizing marijuana live.
