Shapeshifter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do we not see the tears that are falling down? Burn her skin
Do we not heed the call? Do we not hear her cries?
In wake of all progression, she weeps
In wake of all progression, she weeps
Do we not see the tears that are falling down? Burn her skin
Do we not heed the call? Do we not hear her cries?
Will we be the death of her?
Will we be the death of her?
Will we be the death of her?
Will we be the death of her? She weeps
She weeps
The lyrics of Shapeshifter's song Earth express a deep concern for the wellbeing of the planet we call home. The singer reflects on the destructive impact of human progress and development on the environment, conjuring vivid images of a weeping and wounded Mother Earth. The repeated refrain "In wake of all progression, she weeps" serves as a call to action, urging listeners to pay attention to the harm we are causing and take responsibility for our actions.
The lines "Burn her skin / Do we not heed the call?" suggest that we are ignoring the signs of environmental degradation and continue to destroy the Earth's natural resources. The repeated question "Will we be the death of her?" highlights the urgent need for change and warns of the dire consequences if we do not act to preserve and protect the planet. The final line "She weeps" is a somber reminder of the real-life consequences of our actions and a plea to take action to ensure a better future for our planet.

dont listen to DnB much anymore, but I had heard this song years ago and it got so stuck in my head. i LOVE the use of real instruments with a jungle beat. this album was as fantastic back then as it is now.
