Cult
Ezzy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eyes will water and so will the soul
Your poor belly
It craves my lips
When it howls you hear the shore
Rules apply where mother's cry
Starve evermore
Live it up and laugh
While you still can
The wait is over but CO2 warming up my window is still there
Too bad my kids won't see it
They'll be dead
Cuz you're stupid
The dark ages show
Today
Starve ever more
Starve ever more
The lyrics of Ezzy's song "Cult" dive into various societal issues and criticize the mindset of people who do not prioritize the environment, the less privileged, and the future generations. The opening line, "You can't touch the daisies," is a warning that the delicacy of nature needs to be handled with care. The following lines, "Eyes will water and so will the soul, Your poor belly, It craves my lips," may symbolize the pain that comes with the destruction of nature and the subsequent struggle for sustenance.
The next set of lines, "Rules apply where mother's cry, Starve evermore, Babies die without water," highlight the harsh reality of poverty and the lack of basic necessities in many parts of the world. Ezzy's lyrics argue that while some people are living luxuriously, others suffer and die every day due to inadequate resources. The lines that follow, "Live it up and laugh, While you still can," suggest that the situation is not going to change soon, and people should enjoy life even though it comes at the expense of others.
The final lines, "The wait is over but CO2 warming up my window is still there, Too bad my kids won't see it, They'll be dead, Cuz you're stupid, The dark ages show, Today, Starve ever more," bring together several themes in the song. The first line implies that the warnings about climate change have been ignored for too long. The next line speaks to the apocalyptic consequences that will follow. Ezzy then directly blames the current generation for ignoring what they know to be true with the line, "Cuz you're stupid." The final line is a call to action, challenging people to change their ways before it's too late.

@@V-LRE_m_D.yK-e I think Ezzy deleted it, I’ve been following her tiktok and she was gone for a few months before coming back. I don’t know what exactly happened or why she was away for a while but that’s all I can see happening
