Mother Earth
Missa Mercuria Lyrics

The song Mother Earth by Missa Mercuria is a poignant and introspective ballad about the impact of human activity on our natural world. The opening lines, "Seasons circle with no chance to mend, feel the breast of nature come to an end," set the tone for the song as we witness the singer grappling with the devastation wrought by pollution, climate change, and deforestation on our planet. She expresses a sense of helplessness as she watches the soil slip through her hands and cries out in disbelief as the earth is stripped bare. The repetition of the phrase "Set in motion cold seasons will pass us by," reinforces the sense that we are on a dangerous path if we do not take action to protect our planet.

The song takes an unexpected turn in the next verse, as the singer imagines a person coming "through a dream" with the key to reversing the damage done to our planet. She acknowledges that the effects of human activity on the environment may have altered the course of nature irreparably, but that we as people might not be here to stay unless we take steps to undo what we have done. The final line, "All good things must come from within, not outside," emphasizes the importance of individual responsibility and the need to look within ourselves for solutions to the crisis facing our planet.
