Humanity
Greedy Black Hole Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why do you work so hard?
Leave it to the cold steel heart.
They count better than you, wanna try?
But you can't get a single calculation right.
Violet, green, pink and blue,
Orange, yellow red and many more.
How deadly do you think they really are?
Humanity,
Why do we keep it in the pool, what's the intention?
Humanity,
We tell ourselves there's no such thing as perfection.
Tell me why you fear the steel.
Blood is hot, your heart can feel.
Be aware of the green eyed monster,
It mocks your soul and feeds on your flesh.
Our flaws have taken us'so far.
How deadly do you think they really are?
The initial lines of Greedy Black Hole's song Humanity bring forth a pertinent question: Why do humans work so hard? The lyrics suggest that humans should leave things to the "cold steel heart" which is capable of superior calculation accuracy. The lyrics imply that humans are not competent or efficient enough in their work. However, the lyrics highlight the irony that despite being better at calculation, technology and automation, we still cannot get our calculations right.
Moving on, the lyrics introduce the "flaws" present in humans that have taken us far. The lyrics mention colors such as violet, green, pink, blue, orange, yellow, red, and many more, and questions the extent of how deadly they are. These colors may represent different aspects of human life such as emotions, behavior, and relationships. The song proposes that these human flaws are the root cause of all problems in the world.
The chorus of the song summarizes the central theme which questions why humans keep humanity in the pool and insists on believing that there is no such thing as perfection. It compels one to delve deeper and examine what humanity truly means and the impact of our flaws on it. The lyrics advise people to be aware of the green-eyed monster (envy) that feeds on our souls and flesh.
