Continuum
Defecation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I face the world with brave face
We're evolving at a pace
To surpass the human race

Start with the farming of man
In a natureless plan
With a chip in your hand
Continuum
Continuum
All in time-continuum
Adjusting time-continuum

Back when the water was clean
And the trees were once green
It's a desolate scene

Still is an ocean so vast
The resources didn't last
We abused them so fucking fast

All in time-continuum
Adjusting time-continuum




All in time-continuum
Adjusting time-continuum...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Defecation's song Continuum reflect upon the impact of human activities on our planet and how it has affected our future generations. The opening lines, "I face the world with brave face, We're evolving at a pace, To surpass the human race" suggest that we are trying to outgrow ourselves and become something that is no longer human, possibly due to our technological advancements. The next lines, "Start with the farming of man, In a natureless plan, With a chip in your hand" indicate that human activities have become automated and mechanized, to the extent that even our very selves are being farmed and controlled.


The chorus of the song, "Continuum, All in time-continuum, Adjusting time-continuum" suggests that humanity's impact on the planet has set in motion a continuous cycle of events that are difficult to stop or reverse. The next set of lines, "Back when the water was clean, And the trees were once green, It's a desolate scene" emphasize on how the world was once beautiful and natural, but human activity has turned it into a desolate and polluted place. The final lines, "Still is an ocean so vast, The resources didn't last, We abused them so fucking fast" bring attention to the reality that our resources are finite, and we have used them up at a rapid pace, causing irrevocable damage to our planet.
