Earth
Atheist Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A bounded sphere of wisdom
Spinning to create the now
Upon it all will wonder who, what, where, and how
Liquid covers most of her features

Sunlight covers one site at a time
Breathes in to keep everything closer
So it's never far away from
"Earth"!!! That little planet on the hill

Turning out days to guide by
Each with its own display
Some with voltage spinning from the skytop
Some with light in a peaceful way

An appearance second to no other
Such a magnificent face
So broad and full of perspective
Known to everyone as

"Earth"!
That little planet on the hill
Seems Earth could last forever
But for us it's not the same
The neglect to protect the creation

Leaves us little chance to remain
All in all it seems to go around in circles
Like the path followed by the moon
Enhanced by the human evolution

The wisdom of the




"Earth"!
That little planet on the hill

Overall Meaning

In the song "Earth," the band Atheist speaks of the wonder and wisdom of our planet, which spins to create the present moment. The lyrics describe Earth as a bounded sphere, covered in liquid and sunlight, breathing in to keep everything closer so it's never far away from us. Each day on Earth has its own display, some with voltage spinning from the sky and some with light in a peaceful way. The planet has a magnificent appearance, full of perspective, and is known to everyone as "Earth." However, the neglect to protect this creation leaves us little chance to remain, and all in all, it seems to go around in circles, like the path followed by the moon. Yet, it is the wisdom of the Earth that sustains us, that fills us with wonder and awe.
