Annihilation
N.F.F.U. Lyrics

The song "Annihilation" by N.F.F.U. presents a bleak picture of a future that seems to be rapidly approaching. The song asks the listener to imagine what they would do when desperation sets in and the consequences of overpopulation and environmental destruction become too great to ignore. The lyrics use repetition to create a sense of urgency and emphasize the gravity of the situation.

The opening lines repeat the word "desperation," emphasizing the fear and anxiety that come with realizing that we are on a precarious path that could end in annihilation. The chorus asks what the listener will do when the crisis finally arrives and suggests that there is no escaping the fate that befalls us all. The reference to "more pills" suggests that society is already trying to cope with the overwhelming problems facing us by numbing ourselves and hiding from reality.

The second half of the song takes a more ominous tone, as the "drifters" invade the wealthy neighborhoods and the unprotected masses become the victims of annihilation. The song suggests that the wealthy elite have created a system that only protects them and leaves the rest of us vulnerable and unprotected. The last line of the song, "There go the generations / Annihilation," underscores the dire situation we are in and the high stakes of our failure to act.
