Dinosaurs
Eureka Birds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Back from fossil fuels they are
So big destructive
To me and you they are
So big destructive

These reptiles belong locked in a cage
These cold-blooded minds
Locked in a cage
Why can't anybody see?
Why can't anybody see what they do?

There are dinosaurs in the kitchen
Lord! What are they mixin now?
They're with teeth and talon
Oh! Down down down

Dressed in suits and ties they are
So big destructive
All scaly skin and lies,
Oh dear, no no no

My fair-weather friend
I've got to go
I'm feeling the end's upon us




Why can't anyone see?
Why can't anyone see what they do?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eureka Birds' song, Dinosaurs, are about the destructive and dangerous nature of people in power. The "dinosaurs" represent people who hold political, social, or economic power and who use it recklessly for their own gain. The song urges people to recognize the harm that these "dinosaurs" do and to take action to stop them, by locking them up and restraining their influence.


The first verse uses fossil fuels as a metaphor to represent the old and outdated structures of power, and the dangers associated with them. The singer points out that these structures are destructive to both themselves and those around them, but people seem to be blind to the harm they cause. The second verse highlights the disguised, cunning, and manipulative nature of these people in power, as they often dress up in suits and ties to hide their true selves. The bridge of the song expresses a sense of urgency and despair, as the singer realizes that the end is near and that people need to act fast to avoid disaster.


Overall, the song is a call to action against corruption and abuse of power. It encourages people to wake up and see the harm that is being done by those in power and to work together to create a better future.
