CONDEMNED NEKROPOL
BatAAr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Our world has fallen
We have no place to run
The horizon is disappearing
The fog begins to rule
What are we gonna do?
You feel the road
This path has lead us to an end anyway
The sky is turning to grey
Grey as our feelings
And grey as we've always seen the world
The air is filled with smoke
Our lungs are filled with dirt
What are we gonna do?
We saw it coming
But we never did anything to stop it
We expected it to come
But we gave our hope to the future people
You have no place to sleep tonight
But probably the world will be gone tomorrow
We didn't care at all yesterday
Today is present day, our fuckin' last day
The lyrics to BatAAr's song CONDEMNED NEKROPOL portray a bleak and hopeless world that is falling apart, with the singer questioning what they can do in the face of such overwhelming destruction. The opening lines set a haunting scene where the sunshine is fading and the horizon is disappearing, replaced by a pervasive fog that seems to be taking over. The second stanza finds the ground falling away under the singer's feet, leading them towards an inevitable end. The world around them has turned gray, reflective of their own feelings of despair and their pessimistic view of the world that has always been this way.
The air being filled with smoke and their lungs filled with dirt suggest a polluted and unclean environment, creating a sense of fear and discomfort. The repetition of "What are we gonna do?" emphasizes the feeling of being helpless in the face of such destruction. The lyrics also highlight humanity's failure to act, as they saw the collapse of the world coming but never did anything to stop it. The final lines leave the listener with a sense of urgency and tragedy, as the singer has no place to sleep and expects the world to be gone the very next day, lamenting how humanity did not care the day before.
