Epilogue
Gao the Arsonist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The explosive device was scientifically designed to sense a larger than usual amount of manna in the vicinity
We found Koja's quarters in ruins
It was unclear whether that had to do with the impact of the explosion
There was a ghastly blue substance on
Everything
Everything
It was easy to find the Manna
We don't know how manna is produced
One day we will run out
There is nothing we fear more
And I don't know what we'll do
The song Epilogue by Gao the Arsonist is a haunting reflection on the destructive power of technological advancement and the terrifying consequences of our reliance on manna, a mysterious substance that seems to be vitally important to the society portrayed in the song. The lyrics describe a terrorist attack that results in a devastating explosion, causing Koja's quarters to be completely destroyed and covered in a ghastly blue substance. The explosion is triggered by an explosive device designed to sense manna, raising the question of what this substance really is and what its true purpose is.
The song suggests that society is driven by an endless pursuit of manna, yet we do not truly understand where it comes from or how it is produced. The fear of running out of manna looms large, and the consequences of such a scenario are unknown. Through these lyrics, Gao the Arsonist highlights the danger of blindly following technological progress and relying on substances without fully understanding their implications. The song acts as a warning against the potential for destruction that can arise from the misuse of scientific progress.
