Apocalypse 5
Gaia Mesiah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was a day the day of the birth
I was crying for material things
Everybody lived in childhood but now
You can make your childhood again
But you have to use your brain
No more pain no guilt
You have your own religion to build
It's a rotten system without future
Cause they fuck mother nature
We can make a little revolution
We can do it through musicians
Let's start start and make it
I know we can break it

I am going the night before

No more technology
Do you hear the sound of nature





Let's start and make it
I know we can break it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gaia Mesiah's song Apocalypse 5 are a commentary on the state of our society and offer a call for a new kind of revolution. The first verse talks about the day of birth, where the singer remembers crying for material things, hinting at the obsessive consumer culture that pervades our society. The second line, 'Everybody lived in childhood but now you can make your childhood again' can be interpreted as a call to return to the natural and simple pleasures of life, such as enjoying nature, finding joy in play, and nurturing our inner child. The next few lines talk about using our brains to escape the pain and guilt of our current system, and to build our own religion, which could be seen as a way to find a personal spirituality that is sustainable for individuals and the planet.


The chorus offers a stark critique of the current system, calling it a 'rotten system without future' that is destroying Mother Nature. The solution, according to the singer, is a new kind of revolution, one that is led by musicians and built on the foundation of nature. The final lines, 'Let's start and make it, I know we can break it' offer hope for a better future, one where we can go back to the basics of life and live in harmony with the natural world.
