Seasons Change
Marianne's Wish Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Gaia..."

Our egocentric minds built the Babel tower
Apocalyptic sight pixel up in TV color
And I … I can't believe it to this day. We did not see it comin'.

She will reclaim it all (like she has done before)

Wooo I can feel it comin, yeah!

CHORUS:
And as I lay there in the final hour I see it all before my eyes.
The rays of sun light up the sky that's falling down
Turn the page … the seasons change. Yeah.

The way we stood the test of time Can no longer follow
Don't need more proof to realize Our heart is dry and hollow.
Wooo and still we look for something yeah!

CHOR:

She will reclaim it all
She will reclaim it all
She will reclaim it all
She will reclaim it all

CHOR:

"Gaia..."

Overall Meaning

The first line of the song "Gaia" is a reference to the Greek goddess of the earth. It sets the tone for the rest of the song, suggesting a focus on themes of nature, the environment and humanity's relationship to the natural world. The following lines are a commentary on the destructive impact that humans have had on the environment. The Babel tower is a symbol of human arrogance - an attempt to reach the heavens through sheer force of will. The apocalyptic sight on TV suggests that humanity's actions have had a catastrophic impact on the earth, and we are now witnessing the consequences of our actions. Despite this, the singer claims they "did not see it comin'," suggesting that humanity has been blinded by its own hubris.

The second verse of the song continues this theme, suggesting that humanity's current predicament is the result of our own actions. The line "Our heart is dry and hollow" is particularly poignant, suggesting that humanity is lacking in empathy and compassion for the natural world. The final chorus reinforces the idea that nature will eventually reclaim what is rightfully hers. The repetition of the line "She will reclaim it all" suggests that there is no escaping the consequences of our actions.

Overall, "Seasons Change" is a warning about the dangers of environmental destruction and the importance of reconnecting with the natural world. It is a powerful statement about the ways in which humanity has gone astray, and the need for us to change our ways before it is too late.
