Our Destiny
Tarantula Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mother nature's crying
For her rebel son
Signs are clear
Final countdown has begun

Is there a future?
Is this the end?
We're on the edge of insanity

Are We All Too Blind To See
What's For Our Future
Can We Change Our Destiny
Is This The End?
Are We All Too Blind To See
What's For Our Future
Can We Change Our Destiny

Mother nature's crying
For the bleeding earth
Signs are clear
Humankind should be alert

Is there a future?
Is this the end?
We're on the edge of insanity

Are We All Too Blind To See?
What's For Our Future?
Can We Change Our Destiny?
Is This The End?
Are We All Too Blind To See?
What's For Our Future?
Can We Change Our Destiny?

Mother nature's crying
For her rebel son
Signs are clear
Final countdown has begun

Is there a future?
Is this the end?
We're on the edge of insanity

Are We All Too Blind To See?
What's For Our Future?
Can We Change Our Destiny?
Is This The End?
Are We All Too Blind To See?
What's For Our Future?
Can We Change Our Destiny?

Are We All Too Blind To See?
What's For Our Future?
Can We Change Our Destiny?
Is This The End?
Are We All Too Blind To See?
What's For Our Future?
Can We Change Our Destiny?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tarantula's song "Our Destiny" reflect on the current state of the environment and the potential consequences of mankind's actions. The first verse establishes the idea that Mother Nature is upset with her rebellious son, which in this context refers to humans who have been destroying the planet. The signs of the damage are clear and the "final countdown" suggests that time is running out for us to take action.


The following verses ask whether there is a future for humanity and whether this could be the end. This desperation is reflected in the repeated refrain "Are we all too blind to see?". The song suggests that we are on the "edge of insanity", meaning that our reckless behavior could lead to our own destruction.


The final verse again references Mother Nature's cries for her "rebel son". This time, the focus is on the bleeding earth and the signs that we should be alerted to. The repetition of the chorus at the end of the song emphasizes the urgency of the situation and the need for us to change our path before it's too late.

I just have to say this one scene is the most iconic moment in all of Spider-Man's career so much so that even DC has drawn upon on it twice. (Batman beyond episode terrific trio and Ted cord comic) but sometimes I feel very few understand nor appreciate the (no pun intended) weight of the whole story.

I love this! You’re so good at voicing Spider-Man! This was brilliant!

MikeTheEditor

Spider Man may be forever haunted by Uncle Ben's death,but he uses it to remember why he fights.

That is why he is a hero and we love him.

So was this scene the one spectacular Spider-Man used where Gwen gets kidnapped or is it something else
