Azelia's Kiss
A Human and his Stds Lyrics

14 - "Regret"
Look in these eyes, but don't look long. All that's human is long gone.
Poor Azelia sighs, but she takes too long. She tried to say hello...
but your dead and gone, so dead and gone, dead and gone.....
Azelia doesn't need to see to know her children are dying.
The by-product of the corporate design, there's no hope for them and no use for crying
She says:
Don't be mad, there's not enough time,
you won't live forever so don't deny,
The miracle of life, the gift of dying,
remember you're only good for one lifetime...
Earths smog is bad now and it burns my eyes, I'm begging for an answer but Azelia dies.
The ground is shaking while the end is waking, and while branches are breaking I feel so forsaken...
But something amazing, I didn't realize. While I sat and I closed my eyes,
She hasn't said a thing (not because she was angry), But because she leaning down and waiting to kiss me.
While I sat staring at a thousand sunsets, She was waiting to kiss me...
She says:
Don't be mad, there's not enough time,
you won't live forever so don't deny,
The miracle of life, the gift of dying, remember you'r only good for one lifetime...
There's not enough time
For you and me
There's not enough time
with destiny
There's not enough time
tried and true
There's not enough time
for me and you
There's just not enough time......
The lyrics of "Azelia's Kiss" by A Human and his Stds are reflective of the devastating effects of pollution and corporate greed on the environment and the people living in it. The lyrics imply a sense of nihilism, as the singer Azelia is resigned to the fact that her children are dying and there is no hope for them. She tries to impart some wisdom to the singer, telling them that life is short and they should cherish it while they can. The line "remember you're only good for one lifetime" is particularly poignant, as it highlights the fragility and transience of human existence.
The latter half of the song takes a somewhat more optimistic turn, as the singer realizes that Azelia has been waiting patiently to kiss them all along, despite the chaos and destruction happening around them. This suggests a kind of redemptive power in human connection and love, even in the face of despair.
Overall, the song can be interpreted as a cautionary tale about the dangers of neglecting our natural environment and our responsibilities to future generations, but also a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there can be moments of beauty and intimacy.
