Cover art for Speed The Collapse lyrics by Metric

When I hear this song I imagine a future generation living in space, in another planet or in any other place that isn't the Earth anymore.

In the first part they are telling how their "neighbour', Mars, collapsed because of a natural disaster. Something that we know nowadays. Soon enough we caused the same destruction and the Earth also died.

In the second part, they are now telling you, how this storm and mistakes are coming back to where they are now. They are kind of saying that human nature is unchangeable and the same motives that killed that generation are now killing them and destroying their new world.

My Interpretation
