Birth Control Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Declare no resolution
Though everything I say maybe bring you down
Take a look around and see the world
Damaged circulations
The weight of indecisions and fear is all around
Protective clothing, our uniform
Trees without leaves at summertime
Will never cast a cloud, never cast a cloud
And if your wife is near her time
You fear for malformation
I've been told Seveso, Seveso's everywhere
Contaminated molecules
Violate your life-strings
Just waste the cows and the sheep
Just take 'em bare
Protective clothing, our uniform
20 years from now
Trees without leaves at summertime
Will never cast a cloud
(Doom boom)
Your growin' soon, you torture every nation
(Doom boom)
Your out of tune with everything we knew
(Doom boom)
There is no room for hope and evocation
(Doom boom)
Are you the ruin of every human race
(Doom boom)
Your growin' soon, you torture every nation
(Doom boom)
Your out of tune with everything we knew
(Doom boom)
There is no room for hope and evocation
(Doom boom)
Are you the ruin of every human race
(Doom boom)
Your growin' soon, you torture every nation
(Doom boom)
Your out of tune with everything we knew
(Doom boom)
There is no room for hope and evocation
(Doom boom)
Are you the ruin of every human race
(Doom boom)
(Doom boom)

In Birth Control's song Doom Boom, the lyrics suggest a sense of urgency and concern about important issues affecting the world today. The songwriter acknowledges that expressing their opinion may bring others down, but also believes it is important to state what is on their mind. The overarching message is that there are destructive forces at play, damaging the world's natural resources and creating an atmosphere of fear and indecision. The use of protective clothing as a metaphor suggests the need to defend oneself against the pervasiveness of harmful substances, such as those mentioned in the line "I've been told Seveso, Seveso's everywhere", which references the Italian dioxin disaster of 1976.
The song also speaks to issues of reproductive health and concerns over the impact of toxic substances on fetal development, highlighted in the lines "And if your wife is near her time, You fear for malformation, Contaminated molecules, Violate your life-strings, Just waste the cows and the sheep, Just take 'em bare". The use of vivid, descriptive language underscores the severity of the situation, and perhaps suggests a call to action to address these issues before they become irreversible.
