volcano
Marty and Ben Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

People people people, People people people.
We would raise roof in the spring.
Dig for the wells and lie like the lowest of things.

We light the fire that roll underground make volcanoes sound,
Together we are saviours, together we are killers, killer or maker, killer or maker.
We light the fire that role underground makes volcanoes sound.
Here is the hail storm we throw,
Bark out the sparks breathing and breathing and breathing.

Together we are saviours, together we are killers, killer or maker, killer or maker,
Brave like the nature which run every day, run every day toward, run every day toward.

People people people.
All the people, all the people, all people, all people.
Together we are saviours, together we are killers, killer or maker, killer or maker.




Together we are saviours, together we are killers, killer or maker, killer or maker.
Killer or maker, killer or maker, killer or maker, killer or maker, killer or maker.

Overall Meaning

The song "Volcano" by Marty and Ben appears to be about the power of people coming together and the duality of that power. The repeated phrase "People people people" emphasizes the importance of the collective and the need for unity. The line "We would raise roof in the spring" suggests a sense of celebration and community.


However, the next line "Dig for the wells and lie like the lowest of things" has a darker connotation. It could imply the exploitation of resources or people within the community. The following stanza speaks to the destructive power of the people when they come together, likening them to both saviors and killers. The idea of a fire rolling underground and making volcanoes sound is a metaphor for the simmering tension that can erupt in explosive ways when people band together.


The final stanza seems to suggest a kind of reckoning or confrontation with this power, as the people run "toward" something. Overall, the song seems to be grappling with the potential for both positive and negative outcomes when people join forces.
