I believe this song is an anthem for the environment

“Trees will speak before you listen” This line talks of an intelligence existing within the natural living world. The humans appear to be the last animals to comprehend. This comes to us - partly through science and partly through spirituality. Consider the teaching of the Hindu “Dance with the Shiva”, The delicate balance between Creation and Death.

“We can change the world despite all our enemies” Talks about the people that don’t respect nature and the delicate balance. They live to a system of power, greed and consumption. The selfish focus on themselves through the mind and ego.
It’s the lack of respect to the environment, that them such a threat (enemies) to Mother Nature.

“Victory over the Sun” Means that the Sun will in the end be our the great equaliser. And without a change of worldwide thinking, it will become a people killer.
