Razed
SMP Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

New age science accident
Liquid malathon
Oil slicks on the surface
Underneath is all too much
Man wants to create
Man wants to kill
Man will meet her enemy
Her enemy are us

A prayer for the sacrifice
I guess we owe them that much
The road to discovery is lined with the innocent
Recovery impossible
Remission unlikely
When the future digs this up, they'll know
That selfish is how we expired

If it doesn't work, smash it
If it doesn't fit, force it
If it gets old, just throw it away
If you can't get along with it
Just squeeze this thing 'til the shit is empty

Torn out shells of factories
Pollution hatcheries
Records of the past
They reveal an abomination
They say that our ancestors lived care free




Those selfish bastards, they've robbed us
Of everything, 'cause everything is razed

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to SMP's song "Razed" describe the harm that humans have inflicted on the environment and the consequences of our actions. The first verse describes the dangerous and toxic experiments that humans have conducted in the name of science, without regard for the damage that they are causing to the planet. The second verse reflects on the sacrifices made by those who suffer as a result of these actions, including the innocent victims who are affected by the pollution and the destruction of the natural world.


The chorus highlights the selfishness and disrespect that humans have shown towards the environment, in their eagerness to exploit it for their own purposes. The imagery of the "torn out shells of factories" and the "pollution hatcheries" paints a bleak picture of the scars that we have left upon the landscape, and the legacy we are leaving for future generations. The final line of the chorus, "everything is razed," suggests that our actions are leading to the destruction of all life on earth.


The final verse of the song is a call to action, urging listeners to reject the destructive attitude of the past and work towards a better future for the planet. The lyrics suggest that if we continue along our current path, there is no hope for recovery or remission. However, by acknowledging the mistakes of the past and taking responsibility for our actions, there is still a chance for change.


Overall, "Razed" is a powerful statement on the state of the planet and the need for humanity to take responsibility for the damage that we have caused. It is a call to action for listeners to consider their own impact on the environment and to work towards a more sustainable future.
