Earth and Pillars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Searching for our light
Sun shines brightly
Fuel for all our sight
What are we to do
Resist all our might
They will find us
And we all die
Hollow well
Placed in their jar to consider
Void of color, trapped in a jar, trapped in a jar
It's weird I feel the same
Consciousness split in three
The odd sensation of drowning
Lungs fill with water
It stares into my eyes
Needle hits the skin
Downloading our shared memory
Trapped in a jar, trapped in a jar
Earth invaders
They will see us blind
Who are we to know
What they seek to find
What are we to do
Should we run and hide
They will find us
And we all will die
The lyrics to Earth and Pillars' song Earth depict an invasion by extraterrestrial beings on planet Earth. The opening lines set the stage for the invasion- space invaders searching for our light, where the sun shines brightly fueling our sight. The singer wonders what they are to do in the face of such an invasion- resist with all their might or simply succumb to the inevitable. The following lines reveal that the extraterrestrials have already taken one's brain, leaving them hollow and devoid of emotion, trapped in a jar to consider.
The imagery created throughout the song is vivid and unsettling, with references to the odd sensation of drowning, the piercing of a needle into skin and a shared memory being downloaded. The lyrics paint a picture of helplessness in the face of a greater force, with the singer acknowledging that they will find us, and we all will die. Throughout the song, there is a pervading sense of dread and desperation, as the singer grapples with the reality of the invasion and what it means for their existence on Earth.

This stands right there on top with paysage d'hiver. absolutely amazing. this is in my opinion their best release. I don't like the new one as much... too much synth.
