EARTH
Dream Koala Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of a thousand exploding suns?
Kingdoms and cathedrals under the ocean
Because no god can save us from ourselves
No god can save me from myself
So I will remember the earth as it was
And let my dead body floating in space
We can't escape from here
Our time has come
As we see the world collapsing so close from the end
Our time has come
Dream Koala's song EARTH discusses the concept of a world on the brink of collapse due to the actions of humanity, with the singer lamenting that even if there is a deity, they cannot save humanity from destruction because humanity is causing its own downfall. The song's opening lines speak of the beauty of the universe, referencing the visual spectacle of exploding suns. This can be seen as a juxtaposition with the destruction happening on Earth as humans destroy the planet slowly but surely. The line "Kingdoms and cathedrals under the ocean" is poignant because it suggests that even the most majestic and lofty human constructions will be swallowed up by the calamity eventually.
The song's chorus is particularly melancholic, with the lyrics understated but powerful: "We can't escape from here/Our time has come/As we see the world collapsing so close from the end/Our time has come." This reveals the singer's sense of resignation about the dire state of the planet and the fate of humanity. The final lines of the song are particularly haunting: "So I will remember the earth as it was/And let my dead body floating in space/When my time will come." It is a sobering vision of the Earth as a once-beautiful place that has been left behind in ruins.
Line by Line Meaning
Have you ever seen the lights
Have you ever witnessed the brilliant hues of light
Of a thousand exploding suns?
generated by a thousand suns bursting into magnificent colors?
Kingdoms and cathedrals under the ocean
Empires and sacred structures resting deep beneath the ocean's waves
Because no god can save us from ourselves
Due to the fact that no divine being can prevent us from self-destruction
No god can save me from myself
I, too, cannot be rescued by any deity from my own destruction
So I will remember the earth as it was
I will hold onto the memory of the world in its former state
And let my dead body floating in space
And allow my deceased body to drift in outer space
When my time will come
Upon my approaching time of demise
We can't escape from here
We cannot flee from this planet
Our time has come
The end of our era is imminent
As we see the world collapsing so close from the end
Observing the globe deteriorating, nearing its conclusion
Our time has come
Our limited existence is coming to a close

The first time I listened to this song was when I was travelling around Iceland in the winter in -7°C, hiking the glaciers of Vatnajökull. The bitterness of the cold, the desolate icy tundras and the rare sighting of the aurora borealis in the night sky are the perfect setting to listen to this song.

This has got to be the greatest music video of the year, if not decade. I mean this sincerely. Such a strong message, and so many layers of beauty. Endless depth. I greatly appreciate everything about composition. The music, the visual, the wonder, all of it inspires so much from the viewer. Truly, this is a gift to us. I am grateful. Thank you. :')
