Trees
Dr. Octagon (a.k.a. Kool Keith) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oxygen gone, you ne, you never heard of this
From the forest fire
Movin' out, movin' out from the forest fire
Movin' out the elements
Y, Y, Y, you know my central intelligence
Like the elephants
Trees are dying
(Trees are dying)
Trees are dying
(Trees are dying)
Trees are dying
(Tees are dying)
Information is more concealed
Trees are dying
(Trees are dying)
Trees are dying
(Tees are dying)
Papers get printed
Trees may be extinct like the elephants
(Like the elephants)
You know the advancement for the elegance
Dow Jones Industrial, real like my reels
You know the environmental change and its appeal
Information is more concealed
Info, information is more concealed
Trees are dying
Trees, trees, trees, trees are dying
Scientific study, ask your chemical buddy
Cut McGillicuddy
Dispatchin' out to you, imagine, imagine
Usin' material for Christmas, I doubt you
Back, back, back to the lab
Back, back, back, back to the lab
Oxygen, oxygen come in
Carbon dioxide comin' out to you
Car, carbon dioxide comin' out to you
Carbon dioxide comin' out to you
Trees are dying
(Trees are dying)
Trees are dying
(Trees are dying)
Trees are dying
(Tees are dying)
Information is more concealed
Trees are dying

Usin' material for Christmas, papers get printed
Trees may be extinct like the elephants
You know the advancement for the elegance
Dow Jones Industrial, real like my reels
You know the environmental change and its appeal
Information is more concealed, trees are dyin'
Carbon dioxide comin' out to you
Carbon dioxide comin' out to you
Carbon dioxide comin' out to you
Carbon dioxide comin' out to you
Where you get that bench and table from?
Add to the mortgage, one
You made a deficit evilly to boost your sum
Cuttin' trees down all around to make you king of the mighty dollar
Increase your ground, sellin' boxes from Fort Knox
To challenge your wooden stocks
Breakin' into vaulted areas with locks
The trees are
Trees are dying
(Trees are dying)
Trees are dying
(Trees are dying)
Trees are dying
(Tees are dying)
Information is more concealed
Trees are dying
(Trees are dying)
Trees are dying
(Tees are dying)
Watch your atmosphere, pesticides
Control damagin' trees and the roots
A bunch of chemicals, y'all turnin' it loose
A bunch of chemicals, y'all turnin' it loose
The song "Trees" by Dr. Octagon (a.k.a. Kool Keith) is a commentary on the destruction of nature due to human activities. The repeated phrases "trees are dying" and "information is more concealed" highlight the urgent need for attention and action towards preserving the environment. The lyrics talk about the detrimental effects of deforestation and pollution on oxygen levels and the ecosystem as a whole. The song also criticizes consumerism and the greed that motivates the destruction of natural resources to satisfy human wants and desires.
The lyrics are laden with environmental imagery and metaphors. For instance, the line "like the elephants" compares the central intelligence of the singer to the memory of elephants, which are among the most intelligent and social animals. The use of "Christmas" and "Dow Jones Industrial" symbolizes the materialistic nature of contemporary culture, which encourages the overuse of resources for material gain. The song also mentions "pesticides" and "chemicals" that have harmful effects on trees and the environment.
