about

We are clearly disconnected from earth's ecosystem. The balance between us and our planet is damaged and fragile. We follow shallow urges to "make something of our lives" and to follow materialistic ambitions. In the meantime, the source that keeps us alive, nature, is visibly falling apart.

lyrics

So while the industries grow- Let's take a look around us.
Dysfunctional disconnection from the soil that ties us.
It's so clearly crumbling apart with no plan to guide us -
yet an urge that's blinding.

Dysfunctional disconnection!
And the ultimate question - answered with misdirection
It's so clearly crumbling apart with no plan to guide us-
Only sickness follows because our vision's hollow.

How to perceive this with a bit of positivity?
That those Machiavellists won't get the best of me?
Emancipate the actions that will stop these frictions
Slow down the imminent destruction -
Restore the balance.

It's so clearly crumbling apart.
Fumes form unbreathable skies.
Ice melt before our eyes.

We're so dissociated from what should drive us.
Dysfunctional disconnection from the soil that ties us.
The money-making systems are the source that drives this.
It's clearly crumbling apart -
Do we deserve that?
