Cover art for Dead Planet lyrics by Sonic Syndicate

I don't know. If you look in the verse:

"When the power of love Overcomes the love of power The world will finally come to peace"

It is mainly focusing on talking about a type of world war in my opinion that has "razed and destroyed" the Earth because the love for power is much greater than "the power of love".

Global warming does sound probable also because it talks about the glaciers cracking and breaking. However, when you think of destruction and razed land, the best possibility is thinking of a war, kind of like a nuclear holocaust.

Also with the lines:

"God may be a kid with an ant farm And we made him shake the box Why wasn't to save the world on top of everyone's to do list?"

It is in a sense saying that we have screwed ourselves over as a civilization given a chance by God, and that we, basically, pissed him off to where he wants us to destroy ourselves.

My Interpretation

I don't know man.

I think "How many miles of ice have to melt before we show some sanity?" and "We can almost hear the glaciers/Breaking day and night/Still we don't do a damn thing and I just can't see why?" kind of speaks for itself. But thats just my humble opinion!
