Crisis
E.N. Ataraxia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Changes, we all can feel the changes (woah)
We are running never stopping
Lying, cheating photo shopping
Weary eves of ears are dropping
Blocking, stalking, no more talking
Money making backs are breaking
Politicians hands are shaking
Earth is quaking aching till it burns
Stop! Taking all these things for granted
Stop! we need to reunite the planet
Stop! what we have reaped must be replanted (oh woah woah)
Realize that we've got nowhere else to go (mmh no where else to go)
Crisis, we need to stop this crisis (woah)
Changes, your actions make the changes (woah)
Imagine mental satisfaction
Came from social interaction
Now it seems it's a distraction
So counteract this chain reaction
It's interesting and sickening
That inhibiting and distancing
Is limiting and crippling
Our social health that's fading till it burns
Stop! Taking all these things for granted
Stop! we need to reunite the planet
Stop! what we have reaped must be replanted (oh woah woah)
Realize that we've got nowhere else
Together we are strong
Together we carry on
Together all over the world
Even though we're apart
United we should work for a better future for all
Woah woah woah woah
Yeah yeah yeah, you know we have to
Stop! Taking all these things for granted
Stop! we need to reunite the planet
Stop! what we have reaped must be replanted (oh woah woah)
Realize that we've got nowhere else to go
Stop! Taking all these things for granted
Stop! we need to reunite the planet
Stop! what we have reaped must be replanted (oh woah woah)
Realize the earth is aching till it burns
Stop! (Ohh)
Stop! (We got to)
Stop! (Mmh)
Stop!
Stop!
