Wasteland
Rage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's the daily truth, we interfere with everything
Annihilation of our life's space - it is such a
Wasteland
Nothing can exist without being disturbed
Civilization kills!
Wasteland
That's already been perfect
It's always been the same, we take
Ourselves too serious
We're not the best of all, we are just a part of it
Is there any race as destructive as we are?
Wasteland
Children are dying for what they do not see
Ideology kills!
Wasteland
Knowledge is something for people with reason,
With responsibility
Wasteland The more we even learn
Wasteland The less we understand
In the song Wasteland by Rage, the lyrics talk about humanity's destructive tendencies towards the planet, often disregarding the consequences of our actions. The lines "Though it's nothing new: we still rob our planet" and "It's always been the same, we take ourselves too serious" suggest that this behavior is not a recent development, but rather a long-standing issue. The song highlights the idea that our interference and destruction of the environment is causing the degradation of the world we live in, turning it into a wasteland where nothing can exist without being disturbed.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of civilization being responsible for killing, and how our ideologies can contribute to this destruction. "Civilization kills!" and "Ideology kills!" emphasize how our societal constructs can often overlook the harm they cause to the planet and its inhabitants. The song suggests that it's time for a change, and that there needs to be a greater focus on knowledge and responsibility to transform the current system into something that works in harmony with the planet instead of destroying it.
