Mother Nature Is A Terrorist
Greeley Estates Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's always watching
She's in the air, hear her whisper
Calling me...
I watched the skies turn dark
Now the storm will take me away
Could this be all that I'm longing for,
To join her again?
I can taste her in the rain now
While her clouds surround me
She's so lovely as she kills me
This is it...
I watched the skies turn dark
Now the storm will take me away
Could this be all that I'm longing for,
To join her again?
Come down and take me away
The lyrics in Greeley Estates's song "Mother Nature Is A Terrorist" convey the complex and conflicted emotions of the singer towards nature. The first verse suggests an awareness of nature's omnipresence - "I can sense it, feel her presence/She's always watching" - which is soon followed by a yearning to belong to her world - "Could this be all that I'm longing for,/To join her again?" The second verse seems to suggest the onset of a storm, which the singer welcomes - "I watched the skies turn dark/Now the storm will take me away" - and sees as an opportunity to finally become one with nature. The third verse takes on a more ominous tone, comparing nature to a lovely entity that is also capable of killing - "She's so lovely as she kills me/This is it..."
In effect, the lyrics suggest that nature can be both beautiful and deadly, and that the singer is willing to embrace both aspects of nature in order to become one with it. There is a sense of longing and surrender in the lyrics, as the singer eagerly awaits to be taken away by the storm, suggesting that perhaps the singer feels disconnected from the human world and sees nature as a way to escape it.
