Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gazelle Twin & NYX's song Folly seem to be questioning the current state of affairs in our world. The repetition of "What species is this?" and "What century? What atmosphere? What government?" suggests a sense of confusion and uncertainty about our current existence. The questions could be interpreted as a commentary on the changes that have occurred over time, particularly in regards to government and the environment.


The use of the word "species" implies a need to categorize and identify who we are as humans in a rapidly changing world. It also suggests a loss of connection to the natural world as we continue to build and develop at an unprecedented rate. The repetition of "What century?" highlights the rapidly changing pace of technological advancements that have been made in the past few decades. "What atmosphere?" may be alluding to the impact of climate change and the way that it is currently affecting our planet.


Overall, the song seems to be questioning the identity and direction of our world, and challenging us to consider the consequences of our actions.
