Blind to the Beautiful
Fish Lyrics

The lyrics do not come with any images or visuals

Blind to the Beautiful
Unable to perceive or appreciate beauty

The stars are fading, ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
The natural beauty of the planet is deteriorating and disappearing

The bread we have broken, the wine we drank from tarnished cups,
Even things that were once beautiful or meaningful have lost their value or significance

And I stopped believing in miracles a long long time ago,
The loss of hope or faith in something miraculous or beautiful

I lost my faith and I sacrificed my soul,
A personal loss or sacrifice of what was once cherished or held dear

I worshipped fallen idols, chased false prophets to an end,
Following or idolizing things or people that turned out to be unworthy or flawed

To where I just can’t see the beautiful anymore
The inability to recognize or appreciate beauty due to disillusionment or despair

The ice retreating, mountains exposed in the sun,
The effects of climate change and human impact on the environment are destroying natural beauty

The earth is baking, raindrops precede the floods
Extreme weather patterns and natural disasters are furthering the destruction of natural beauty

And hurricanes with children’s names write our history
The lasting impact of natural disasters on society and the environment

Signatures tracked by satellites on high,
The influence of technology and surveillance on the way society interacts with and perceives the world

We should have talked about the weather a bit more seriously,
A regretful reflection on failing to acknowledge and address environmental issues and their impact on beauty

More than stocks and shares and corporate wares,
The prioritization of economic gain over environmental preservation or appreciation of natural beauty

We were blinded by the sceptics and their greed
The influence of corrupt or selfish individuals or groups in preventing progress toward sustainability and preservation of natural beauty

I howled and I cried when the melody died, the song was finally over,
A metaphor for the loss of beauty and the accompanying emotional response

There was nothing to say, words stole away, their meaning lost in the ether,
The loss of the ability to appreciate or describe beauty due to its absence or destruction

What there was left stopped making sense, a broken up alphabet, language dispersed
A fragmented or incoherent response to the absence or destruction of beauty

I just can’t hear the beautiful anymore
The inability to perceive beauty through sound or other sensory stimuli

The oceans are rising, islands in time disappear,
The effects of climate change on the environment and the loss of beauty it entails

The canyons burning, forests consumed by the flames,
Physical destruction of natural beauty through wildfires and other disasters

Wildfires rage across the plains to be starved by barren soil,
Further destruction of the environment and natural beauty due to human impact and climate change

Deserted farms where seeds refuse to grow,
The loss of agricultural beauty and the impact of environmental destruction on human livelihood

I close my eyes to cloudless skies I dream of what we had before,
A longing for what once was, or what could have been, in terms of natural beauty and environmental preservation

I just can’t see the beautiful anymore
The inability to recognize or appreciate beauty due to its absence or destruction

Show me the beautiful; bring back the beautiful, show me the beautiful
An expression of yearning or desire for the restoration of natural beauty and environmental preservation

I want to see the beautiful once more
A plea or declaration of the desire to see and appreciate natural beauty once again
