About Earth
Gargantua Soul Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thousand-headed mother divine
The Earth's been dying all of my life
Praise and love, highest of heights
Please don't die, please don't die

The trees are breathing
Showing your splendor
I am your lover

But I can't remember
Love is crashing with the passion
But truth is so out of fashion

We don't really know about Earth
For me it's like destroying beauty
Moment to moment pass me by
And all I do is long to save you
We don't really know about Earth
For me it's like destroying beauty

I want to live like I never was here
Only my message for the masses to hear
My flesh soon enough disappear
And Mother Earth, she lives in pain

We don't really know about Earth
For me it's like destroying beauty
Moment to moment pass me by
And all I do is long to save you

We don't really know about Earth
For me it's like destroying beauty

Overall Meaning

The song, "About Earth" by Gargantua Soul, carries a message centered around the love and appreciation for Mother Earth. The opening verse speaks of the Earth as a divine mother with a thousand heads, but the sad reality is that the Earth has been dying for a long time. The plea to the Earth not to die is imbued with a sense of despair and helplessness. The next verse elaborates on the immense beauty of the Earth - the trees are breathing and the Earth is beloved, but there is a sense of forgetfulness and tragedy in the air. Love may still exist, but truth and honesty are irrelevant now. It feels like we don't really know the Earth- we are destroying beauty by living life in a way that is unsustainable.

The chorus says, "We don't really know about Earth, for me it's like destroying beauty". This line represents the theme of the song, where the artist paints a picture of how little we seem to understand about the planet that we all live on. The song conveys a sense of a call to action, to live a life that is conscious, and one that seeks to solve the problems of our world. The closing verse is a reminder that we should aspire to live a life that leaves a positive legacy - one where our actions can make a difference, and we can help to ease the suffering of life on Earth.
