Juggernauts
London Elektricity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I do not think we're invincible
And I'm thinking that it's a sign
'Cause I do not think we're invincible
Crushing all in its path
Crushing all in its path
Crushing all in its path
Now don't get me wrong, I love what you done with the place
I just wish we had a chance to help build it
Instead of just moving into this home of disrepair
And expect it to work, prosper and then share
Constantly relying on consuming to feel content
But only because we lost such with this home that we've spent
Trillions of dollars paying for our wants and not our needs
And now we're growing tired of planting bleary-eyed seeds
And I'm not saying that we could do better
But given the chance we'd try
We dig up the earth's not won soil
And feel the drench with greedy eyes
And I'm not saying that we could do better
But given the chance we'd try
We dig up the earth's not won soil
And feel the drench with greedy eyes
Imagine
Switch
And I know that we've still got time
But I do not think we're invincible
And I'm thinking that it's a sign
Deep breaths, clenched fists
Here comes another juggernaut
Crushing all in its path
Crushing all in its path
Crushing all in its path
Crushing all in its path
What the hell, what happened now?
I really don't know, man
We'll do what we've always done
Shut our eyes and hope for the best
No, we're gonna face this
And step out onto the tracks
Stare it right in the face
Thou shall not pass
And I know that we've still got time
But I do not think we're invincible
And I'm thinking that it's a sign
'Cause I do not think we're invincible
Crushing all in its path
Crushing all in its path
Crushing all in its path
Crushing all in its path
And I know that we've still got time
But I do not think we're invincible
And I think that it is a sign
Deep breaths, clenched fists
Here comes another juggernaut
And I know that we've still got time
But I do not think we're invincible
And I'm think that it's a sign
And I do not think we're invincible
And I hope that we've still got time
'Cause I do not think we're invincible
The idea of community
Will be something displayed at a museum
The lyrics of "Juggernauts" by London Elektricity convey a deep reflection on humanity's impact on the environment and the consequences of our actions. The repeated motif of not being invincible suggests a sense of vulnerability and realization that our actions have repercussions. The singer expresses a concern about the destructive path that humanity is on, symbolized by the juggernaut, a force that crushes everything in its way without regard for consequences.
The lyrics juxtapose the singer's admiration for what has been created with a sense of regret for not having contributed positively to it. There is a recognition of the unsustainable nature of our consumer-driven society and the consequences of prioritizing material wants over essential needs. The imagery of "planting bleary-eyed seeds" highlights the fatigue and disillusionment that comes from chasing material possessions at the expense of the environment.
The repeated lines emphasize the urgency and inevitability of facing the consequences of our actions. The singer acknowledges the need to confront the challenges ahead, rather than turning a blind eye or hoping for the best. The reference to "staring the juggernaut right in the face" signifies the importance of taking responsibility and standing up against the destructive forces that threaten our future.
The final verses express a sense of hope and a call for action. The singer acknowledges that there is still time for change, but it requires a collective effort and a shift in mindset. The mention of the idea of community being displayed in a museum hints at the potential loss of genuine connection and shared responsibility if we continue down the current path. Overall, the lyrics of "Juggernauts" serve as a poignant reminder of the fragility of our world and the urgency of taking meaningful action to protect it for future generations.
