Dis' Ya Reggae
Slaves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
à dévasté nos forêt
à préférer faire coulé du béton
c'qui aujourd'hui nous sauverais
Mais dit moi qui
a transformé notre bonne aire
en une foutu pollution
qui f'ra mourir nos terres
Mais dit moi qui
a fait de l'amour de dieu
une méprisable guère
changer c'paradis en un triste enferiiiiére
maintenant dit moi si
l'homme pourrait se faire pardonner
même après mil prière
Il est devenu méchant
il se divise avec le temps
il est prêt à tuer son prochain
pour un peu d'argent
il croit tout contrôler
mais il est enfaîte incontinent
que la planète à pris feu
alors qu'il ne peut vivre sans
se decivillise
où il se voil la face
dans sa modernité
ne vois plus l'impasse
il se voit il se sent le plus puissant
mais l'or de la fin du monde
il cherchera des regards
compatissant
(mais dit moi qui)
The lyrics of Dis' Ya Reggae by Slaves paint a bleak picture of the state of the world, particularly the impact of human actions on the environment. The song begins by asking who is responsible for the destruction of forests and the preference for concrete over nature, the consequences of which are threatening our survival. The artist asks who is responsible for turning what was once a paradise into a miserable hell, transforming the love of God into a warlike conflict. The lyrics are intended to provoke reflection on the destructive tendencies of human beings and the consequences of our actions.
The chorus of the song asserts that humans have become evil, as evidenced by their willingness to kill their fellow man for financial gain. They believe they have control over everything, but in fact, they are powerless to prevent the destruction of the planet. The artist highlights the modern tendency to ignore the warning signs of impending disaster, the extent of which has already been displayed by the planet's current state.
Slaves's Dis' Ya Reggae is a powerful and poignant song with an important message about human impact on the environment. Through its lyrics, Slaves portray a stark warning that if we do not recognize the environmental challenges we are facing, we will eventually be consumed by them.
