Symbols Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But they've never excuse their blamed hearts
They never mind about life they never mind about death
You know life always seems just like steps
Sometimes I wonder about the distant future
All I can see's just darkness and pain
The sky is the limit, the limit of what
This fucking World's near of it's end
In the name of the Lord, somebody would say
But they'd never excuse their blamed hearts
Never mind, never mind it will never happen again
I will kill someone if they try again
I will never change my mind again
The money and the power, the couple of death
Are always letting people down to ruin
No matter we try, no matter we try
They do come back over and over again
I cannot believe. I can't understand
People are trying to destroy our World
I know they can do. I know they will do
They are planning to live on the Moon
But we could save our World
We don't have to be like Mars
We owe this to our children
They have an entire life to pass through
Do not destroy
Do not pollute
It must not have been right
So forever, goodnight
The lyrics of Symbols' song "Like Mars" addresses the issue of human negligence towards the environment and the bleak future that lies ahead if we keep on living in this manner. The song starts with mentioning how some people use religion to justify their actions, but they never pay heed to the consequences of their deeds. The lyrics touch upon the human tendency to think about the present and overlook the future, and how this short-sightedness can lead to the destruction of our planet. The mention of darkness and pain in the lyrics is a way of describing the consequences of our actions that we might not realize until it's too late.
The chorus of the song further emphasizes the point that we must not repeat our mistakes, and we must take accountability for our actions. The use of the phrase "I will kill someone" can be viewed as a metaphorical reference to how strongly the singer feels about this issue and how far they are willing to go to get their message across. The second verse talks about how the people in power and their greed are responsible for the destruction and that despite our best efforts; they will continue to bring misery to the world as they only care about their money and power. The lyrics mention how people are planning to move to the Moon, further drawing attention to the dire state of the Earth.
In conclusion, the song "Like Mars" by Symbols is a wake-up call to humanity to take accountability for our actions and to consider the consequences of our short-sighted decisions. It emphasizes that if we continue to neglect our environment, we are headed towards a catastrophic future. The use of metaphors and powerful lyrics conveys a strong message, urging people to act before it's too late.
