Real World
B.W.N. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some say it was a warning
Some say it was a sign
I was standing right there
When it came down from the sky

The way it spoke to us
You felt it from inside
Said it was up to us
Up to us to decide

You've become a virus
That has eaten up its host
We've been watching you with all of our eyes
And what you seem to value most

So much potential
Or so we used to say
Your greed, self importance, and your arrogance
You piss it all away

We heard a cry
We've come to intervene
You will change your ways and you will make amends
Or we will wipe this place clean





Your time is tick-tick-ticking away [Repeat several times]

Overall Meaning

The alien entity tells humanity that they have become a virus, which is eating up its host, and that they have been watching humans with all their eyes, and what humanity seems to be valuing the most is their greed, self-importance, and arrogance.


The song sounds like a call to action to humanity to change their ways, or face the disastrous consequences. The chorus ("your time is tick-tick-ticking away") reinforces the urgency of this message. The overarching theme of the song is a cautionary tale about the trajectory of humanity's progress and warns of the ultimate consequences of humans' disregard for the planet and each other.
