Have in Mind
Cetu Javu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before the tragedy, have in mind
Look about the countryside
Can't perceive anything to hide
Nobody knows what's going on
Living beings, where have you gone?
Become polluted, don't try to deny
Remember the times when fish were alive
And realize what you need in life
Weak grows your heart, patiently
Before the tragedy, have in mind
Weak grows your heart, patiently
Before the tragedy, have in mind
Doesn't matter what you feel
As long as the others make a great deal
Don't wait so long in offer assistance
And don't give up with your existence
Step by step, we thus get nearer
But our fair must be clearer
When the sun will not rise
We have lost our paradise
Weak, grows your heart, patiently
Before the tragedy, have in mind
Weak, grows your heart, patiently
Before the tragedy, have in mind
Look around you
Is there anything you need?
If you follow our way
You'll pass one day
Therefore before the tragedy occurs
Have in mind, and don't forget
Weak, grows your heart, patiently
Before the tragedy, have in mind
Weak, grows your heart, patiently
Before the tragedy, have in mind
The lyrics to Cetu Javu’s “Have in Mind” are a commentary on humanity’s impact on the environment and the urgent need to act before it’s too late. The opening stanza, “Weak grows your heart, patiently, before the tragedy, have in mind,” suggests that while the consequences of our actions may not be immediate, we must be mindful of the harm we are causing even before the tragic effects become visible.
The second stanza describes the destruction of the natural world, with polluted rivers and disappearing marine life highlighting the devastating impact of human activity. The lines “Doesn't matter what you feel, as long as the others make a great deal” suggest that the pursuit of profit and power often overrides concern for the environment and future generations.
The final stanza provides a call to action for listeners to take responsibility for their impact on the environment and not wait for someone else to lead the way. The repetition of “Before the tragedy, have in mind” emphasizes the urgency of the situation and the importance of taking action now.
