Eye Water
Cassius Lyrics

They call the planet Earth "Tears, eye water"
The name given to Earth is associated with sadness and tears. The planet is seen as a place of sorrow.

They call the planet Earth "Fear, eye water"
The name given to Earth is associated with fear and anxiety. The planet is seen as a place of danger.

Such a waste of clear eye water
The tears people shed are a precious resource that shouldn't be wasted on unnecessary negative emotions.

Such a waste of real eye water
People should try to preserve their tears for genuine moments of sorrow or joy, rather than expend them needlessly.

Noone uses energy savers
People don't take enough steps to conserve energy and protect the environment.

Car emissions kill ozon layers
The pollution caused by cars is damaging the earth's protective ozone layer.

Look at your life now
People should take a moment to reflect on how their actions are impacting the world and those around them.

Little children say their prayers
Children have a simple faith and are more sincere in their religious devotion than adults.

But the grown-ups don't say theirs
Adults often lose their sense of spiritual connection and become preoccupied with material concerns.

When they first went to the moon
During the space race of the 1960s, human beings achieved remarkable feats of exploration and discovery.

Beyond the moon didn't they see
Looking back at the earth from the moon, astronauts gained a new perspective on our planet and its place in the universe.

There wasn't anything they couldn't do
Human beings are capable of incredible achievements when they set their minds to it.

There wasn't anything they couldn't be
Human beings are capable of adapting and evolving to new environments and circumstances.

They discovered nuclear power
The discovery of nuclear energy opened up new possibilities for human progress and technological advancement.

Not for the best but for the worst
Unfortunately, nuclear energy has often been used for destructive purposes and caused environmental damage.

Revelations warned you first
The Book of Revelation in the Bible contains warnings about the dangers of human arrogance and greed.

First your living was so simple
In the past, people lived more simply and relied on fewer technological conveniences.

There was no gas, oil or rentals
People didn't depend on fossil fuels or consumer goods to the extent they do today.

Then technology would teach you
Advances in technology can offer new knowledge and opportunities but also bring new challenges.

That it's robots replace people
Increasing automation in the workplace threatens to displace many workers and create economic inequality.

All the Christians, Muslims, Jews
The world's major religions have often clashed and led to violence and conflict.

Kill each other, they're so confused
Religious discrimination and intolerance have caused enormous suffering and calamity throughout history.

From light to dark, big to small
The diversity of life on earth is enormous and encompasses all sorts of creatures and environments.

They didn't know God loved them all
Despite religious differences, all people are loved and valued by a higher power.

As if to fullfill the dues they curse
Human beings often act recklessly and create problems that they then struggle to solve.

For what happens next, my heart hurts (oh)
The singer is pained by the uncertainty and potential for disaster that lies ahead for humanity.
