Dare to Be Aware
Agathocles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Buy that,
It's useless,
But what the heck
Millions of things are shoved down your throats,
for you to consume, useless crap is being sold,
The garbage dump is growing because of what you bought,
fucking up this planet, fucking up our earth,
Get that,
Is what the medias sell,
to empty heads,
Millions of things are shoved down your throats,
for you to consume, useless crap is being sold,
The garbage dump is growing because of what you bought,
fucking up this planet, fucking up our earth,
Refuse this,
Refuse that,
Selective buying,
'cause our earth is dying.
The song "Dare to Be Aware" by Agathocles is a powerful critique of consumer society and the impact it has on our planet. The lyrics are a call to action for listeners to be more mindful of their consumption and refuse to contribute to the destruction of the Earth. The song starts by mocking the constant barrage of advertising and the many useless products that are marketed to us. The line "Millions of things are shoved down your throats, for you to consume, useless crap is being sold" highlights the overwhelming nature of this consumer culture. The chorus urges listeners to refuse to participate in this cycle and to be more selective in their consumption to help protect our environment.
The song is a rallying cry for socially conscious individuals to take action and make a positive impact on the world. The phrase "Dare to be aware" encapsulates the message of the song, with the word "dare" suggesting that it can be difficult to break free from the pull of consumer culture and make conscious choices. However, the importance of being aware of our own actions and their impact on the earth is emphasized throughout the song.
