R.I.P
Rage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Say, to where do we belong
Say, how far did we come

It seems to me we all agree
Humanity can rest in peace
Too bad but love is dead

Hey, who wakes the world
When there's no one that will hear




Who makes the clouds in our heads disappear

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "R.I.P" by Rage are thought-provoking and melancholic. The first lines, "Say, to where do we belong / Say, how far did we come," suggest the singer is questioning humanity's purpose and progression. The repetition of "say" emphasizes the urgency of these questions. The next line, "It seems to me we all agree / Humanity can rest in peace," takes a dark twist, suggesting that humanity has failed and is better off dead. The final line, "Too bad but love is dead," furthers this sentiment of hopelessness and despair, potentially pointing towards societal issues that led to humanity's downfall.


The next part of the song shifts to a more desperate tone, with the lines "Hey, who wakes the world / When there's no one that will hear / Who makes the clouds in our heads disappear." The singer seems to be addressing a higher power or a person who may be able to fix their problems but laments the lack of response or acknowledgement. The imagery of clouds in the head suggests confusion or despair that clouds our perspectives and prevents us from finding a way out of our problems.


Overall, "R.I.P" is a song that delves into existential questions and the potential downfall of humanity. It highlights the importance of love and the consequences of neglecting it, as well as the desperation that arises when hope is lost.
