Mother Earth
Artension Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For soon you will find
Just like my brother tree, Mother's blood flows through me
And I will look to the sun
We welcome the rain, as were born again
Her majestic beauty, somehow sacred to me
And I know she'll never die
She will survive, she will survive
Mother Earth
Tell me when will they see what you're worth?
You're my Mother Earth
Tell me when will they see what you're worth?
My Mother Earth
And just like my Brother dust
Blood of life's within us
And we will, will never die
We will survive, we will survive
Mother Earth
When will they see what you're worth?
You're my Mother Earth
When will they see what you're worth?
My Mother Earth
Mother Earth
When will they see what you're worth?
You're my Mother Earth
When will they see what you're worth?
My Mother Earth
The lyrics to Artension's song "Mother Earth" are an ode to the Earth and its interconnectedness with all life. The song begins with the lines "How well do you know me? For soon you will find / Just like my brother tree, Mother's blood flows through me / And I will look to the sun." These lines suggest that just like the tree and all things on Earth, the singer is connected to the Earth through their shared origins and the blood that flows through every living creature. The singer acknowledges the majesty and sacredness of the Earth's beauty, and feels that she will never truly die, as she will continue to survive through the cycle of life and death.
The lyrics then move into a questioning of human understanding and appreciation of the Earth's true worth: "Mother Earth, tell me when will they see what you're worth? / You're my Mother Earth, tell me when will they see what you're worth?" The singer pleads for humanity to recognize the value of the Earth and its existence, and to treat it with the respect and care it deserves. The final lines "When will they see what you're worth? / My Mother Earth" leave a lasting impression of the singer's deep connection and love for the Earth, as well as a desire for others to feel the same.
