Area21 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But right now is not the right time
We'll be on our spaceship flying different places
Waiting for the day
When you done with all that fake shit
So many times we tried to help
Tried to save you from yourselves
We′ll be on our spaceship flying different places
Then you overcome your hatred (Yeah)
We came to your planet, but we had to leave
Saw too many things we didn't want to see
We are all together, you look at your screens
That's your problem, how can you be so naive?
People killing others
′Cause of their beliefs (Wow, wow)
We tried coming down, but we saw no light
(Saw no light)
We like species who represent good vibes
(That′s what we like)
We fly over Earth and we say goodbye
(Do we, do we?)
In time, we hope you recognize what's right
Waiting, patient, til′ the time is right for us to save it
Before you fade away
Maybe one day we'll come say Hi
But right now is not the right time
We′ll be on our spaceship flying different places
Waiting for the day
When you done with all that fake shit
So many times we tried to help
Tried to save you from yourselves
We'll be on our spaceship flying different places
Hoping for the day
When you overcome your hatred (Fuck, yeah)
We came to your planet, but we had to leave
Saw too many things we didn′t want to see
We are all together, you look at your screens
That's your problem, how can you be so naive?
People killing others 'cause of their beliefs (How?)
We see people fighting, ay
We see rockets flying, hey
We see babies crying, ay
Politicians lying, woah
Where is the unity? You′re so divided, woah
Where is the love? We can′t seem to find it
We tried to help
Tried to save you from yourselves
We tried to help
Tried to save you from yourselves
Switch
Maybe one day we'll come say "Hi"
But right now is not the right time
We′ll be on our spaceship flying different places
Waiting for the day
When you done with all that fake shit
The song "HELP" by Area21 is a commentary on the state of the world and the human condition. The spaceship represents an escape from the problems on Earth and the hope for a better future. The lyrics communicate a sense of frustration and disappointment with humanity's inability to overcome its divisions and work together towards a better world.
The repeated phrase "We tried to help, tried to save you from yourselves" suggests that the singer feels a sense of responsibility for humanity's fate. They have attempted to intervene but have been unsuccessful in getting people to change their ways. The reference to "fake shit" suggests a culture of superficiality and inauthenticity that stands in the way of progress.
The song calls for unity and recognition of what is right. The imagery of people fighting, rockets flying, and babies crying suggests the chaos and suffering that result from division and conflict. The singer asks, "Where is the love? We can't seem to find it," expressing a desire for a world based on cooperation and compassion.
