There’s a clear message. Everytime i hear the chorus of Chorus, tears well up in my eyes. All the species of animals we have killed, all the ruin. Eventually if human beings can survive after mass ecological collapse, they will be living in a time when there are no bird songs, and no fish in the seas. The song is a warning, and asks every listener to think about what it will be like for future generations after we have killed most everything but ourselves. And it draws the direct line from our consumerist behavior (‘shop at home’) and these consequences.
The ending part, that ends ‘for a time when no-one’s cheating’ is about all the people in the world who desperately want to live in a world where corporate profit isn’t destroying our planet. I’m one of them.
At the end, the dawn chorus (the sound of birds in the morning) is just a memory. In the hearts and minds of mankind, who have to live with having destroyed God’s perfect creation.
