Black Dresses Lyrics

All the water in the world
The abundance of a resource that should be widely available to all beings.

All the money in the world
The ultimate symbol of power and control that shapes society's values and aspirations.

Can you really take it with you?
A rhetorical question that questions the materialistic mindset that dominates society.

I don't know I don't know what it's gonna look like
The uncertainty and anxiety about the future that stems from the current state of the world.

All I know is that nothing's gonna be alright
The bleakness and gloom that dominates the artist's outlook on the future.

It'll kill you first, it'll kill you slow
The impending doom and destruction that awaits all living beings due to humanity's reckless actions.

When? When? I don't fucking know
The frustration and despair that arises from the lack of immediate solutions to the world's problems.

Right now bitch
The urgency and immediacy of action needed to address the world's issues.

You know
The implication that the listener is aware of the severity of the issues at hand and should take action.

Okay, sure
The casual and dismissive response to the rhetorical question, highlighting the complacency of many towards societal issues.

I pray things will be alright
A desperate plea for a better future for all beings.

And I wish we had the time to talk it out
The acknowledgement that a meaningful and constructive dialogue is needed to address the world's issues.

But we don't have the time
The recognition that time is running out for humanity and the environment.

As they kill us all
The indictment of those in positions of power that prioritize profit over the wellbeing of people and the planet.

Over and over
The cyclical nature of humanity's destructive actions and the failure to learn from past mistakes.

When they never had the right
The injustice and inequality of the current system that perpetuates the suffering of marginalized communities.

That thing is not a person
The dehumanization of corporations and institutions that prioritize profit over people and the environment.

We can break that spell
The power of collective action to challenge and dismantle oppressive structures.

We can always kill something that never lived
The recognition that corporations and institutions are not living beings and should not have more rights than actual people.

And if that doesn't work someone might find out where you live
The threat of violence against those who prioritize profit over people and the environment.

Your pictures are all on the internet
The vulnerability and exposure of individuals in the digital age, highlighting the need for privacy and security.

Who'd really be afraid
The challenge to the notion of power and control, as ultimately nothing can save someone from the destruction that is to come.

If the world ends?
The implication that humanity's current actions will inevitably lead to the end of the world as we know it.

Something that you might expect
The resignation and despair that despite warnings and calls for action, humanity continues down a path towards destruction.

2019, who's really left to be afraid of death?
The recognition that the world has become so desensitized to violence and destruction that death no longer holds the same weight as it once did.

Sorry
The acknowledgment of the severity and offensiveness of the upcoming statement.

Sorry for what I'm about to say
The preface and warning of what is to come, highlighting the controversial and taboo nature of the topic being discussed.

I don't mean it
The denial and disavowal of responsibility for the upcoming statement, highlighting the fear of backlash and condemnation.

I would really do some shit
The frustration and anger towards the current state of the world, and the desire to take action to address the issues at hand.

Somebody might do some shit
The recognition that change can come from unexpected sources and that collective action can lead to meaningful change.

We know your names
The warning and threat to those in power who prioritize profit over people and the environment.
