Save The Humans
Ian Eskelin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Save the humans, we're an awful mess
Let me tell you, baby, we got problems
As a species we're unfit to solve 'em
We can purify the oily seas
We can empathize with manatees
Even chit-chat with chimpanzees
We're in the water and the water's hot
Yeah, we need somethin' that we ain't got
Oh, let's go
Whoa whoa, come and rescue me
Whoa whoa, gimme what I need
Whoa whoa, we're a dying breed
One hope, baby, only God can save the humans now
Sink the whaling ships save the whales
Kick out the French, save the baby snails
Stop the interstellar radiation
But we can never be our own salvation
We need somebody who can take control
We need somebody who can save our souls
Oh, let's go
Whoa whoa, come and rescue me
Whoa whoa, gimme what I need
Whoa whoa, we're a dying breed
One hope, baby, only God can save the humans now
Singing, one hope, baby
Only God can save the humans now, ooh, ooh
Save the humans, save the humans
Save the humans, save the humans
Save the humans, save the humans
Save the humans, God, save the humans
Whoa whoa, come and rescue me
Whoa whoa, gimme what I need
Whoa whoa, we're a dying breed
One hope, baby, only God can save the humans
Whoa whoa, come and rescue me
Whoa whoa, from my humanity
Whoa whoa, we're a dying breed
One hope, baby, only God can save the humans now
Singing, one hope, baby
Only God can save the humans now, ooh, ooh
Save the humans, save the humans
Save the humans, save the humans
Save the humans, save the humans
Save the humans, save the humans
Save the humans, save the humans
Save the humans, save the humans
Save the humans, save the humans
Save the humans, save the humans
Save the humans
The lyrics of Ian Eskelin's song Save the Humans touch upon the need for divine intervention in humankind's problems. In the chorus, he sings, "One hope, baby, only God can save the humans now," emphasizing the notion that as a species, humans have gone through so much turmoil that it has become challenging for them to save themselves.
Throughout the song, Eskelin presents examples of the extent to which humans have interfered with the environment and ecology. He says, "We can purify the oily seas, we can empathize with manatees, even chit-chat with chimpanzees," but despite these efforts, humans are still suffering from the negative impact of their own actions.
Eskelin is also critical of humanity's tendency to prioritize material possessions over things that genuinely matter. The line "Sink the whaling ships save the whales, kick out the French, save the baby snails" implies that humans frequently concentrate on shallow things while ignoring more significant issues that require attention.
Save the Humans is a poignant reminder of the state of humankind, where people continue to grapple with issues that are difficult to solve. Eskelin's lyrics emphasize the need for divine intervention, urging people to work together towards a common goal.
