What I See
Planet P Lyrics

I see a planet that's glowing red
The planet is in a state of danger and destruction, represented by the color red.

I see the millions burning in their beds
There is great suffering and turmoil affecting countless people, perhaps due to war or other atrocities.

I see the beauty that might have been
There is a sense of loss or regret about what the world could have been, or what it used to be like.

Torn from the future by hungry men
The issues and problems that are causing such devastation are largely the result of human greed and selfishness.

I have the same dream every night
The artist is haunted by a recurring vision or premonition of some kind.

I wake up shaking in the morning light
This dream or vision is deeply unsettling and leaves the singer feeling anxious and fearful.

I don't know what could be expected of me
Despite having a sense of some impending crisis or challenge, the singer is unsure what role they are meant to play in addressing it.

I only know that I believe what I see
The artist trusts their instincts and perception, even if they can't fully explain or articulate their significance.

And you, do you see what I see
The artist is reaching out to someone else, hoping to find a sense of shared vision or purpose.

Yeah you, do you see what I see
The artist wants to make sure they're not alone in their concerns and hopes for the future.

This isn't quite the way I thought it would be
The singer may have once had different expectations or illusions about how the world should work.

It seems they want to make a symbol of me
Others may be trying to use the artist for their own purposes or agenda.

I have the power that can keep us alive
Despite feeling uncertain or helpless at times, the singer recognizes that they possess some kind of strength or ability that could be crucial for survival.

It's a sugar coated pill and it's bitter inside
Whatever this power or capability is, it may come with unanticipated downsides or consequences.
