Appleseed Cast Lyrics

that a solar event takes us by surprise in 99.

The Appleseed Cast's song Storms is a thought-provoking track that deals with the theme of apocalyptic events. The opening lyrics of the song set a somber tone as the singer expresses his belief that humanity will not survive to see the year 2000. This is based on his analytical assessment of the possibility of a solar event taking place which would spell our doom. The song goes on to suggest that even if we were to survive until then, the Y2K problem (a computer bug widely feared to cause global crises at midnight of January 1, 2000) was unlikely to be the cause of our demise.
The singer then addresses the person he is speaking to, referring to them as "Doctor Doom." This implies that they are an expert in predicting disastrous events. The final lyrics of the song are perhaps the most chilling, as they leave the listener with a sense of unease and foreboding. The phrase "well, they don't call you doctor doom for nothing" suggests that the singer believes that the person he is speaking to is not simply making unsupported predictions but has genuine cause for concern.
Overall, Storms is a haunting track that explores our collective fear of the unknown and the inevitability of our mortality. It is a reminder that despite our technological advancements and our capacity to predict future events, ultimately, there are elements beyond our control that could bring about our downfall.
