A Lot to Fear
Tree Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

People will have a lot to fear
When there's no oxygen in the atmosphere
Everyone will die while they're holding their breath
And we'll all swim in our own polluted death
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND
WE MUST SAVE THE LAND
WE'RE NOT JUST A BAND
WE'LL KILL FOR THE LAND
Greenhouse effect was anticipated
But everybody sat around watched and waited
When the enviable came to be
They all begged for God's mercy
Better come up with a final solution
And figure a way to deal with all this deadly pollution




We need some action and some action soon
Or we're certifying our certain doom

Overall Meaning

In the song "A Lot to Fear" by Trees, the lyrics depict a future where humans have destroyed the planet through pollution and neglect. The opening lines are particularly striking, as they describe a situation where the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere has decreased to such an extent that people are dying from lack of air. The lines "Everyone will die while they're holding their breath/And we'll all swim in our own polluted death" are particularly devastating, as they evoke a sense of chaos and hopelessness.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of taking action to protect the environment. Tree emphasizes that "we must save the land" and that they are "not just a band" but rather individuals who are willing to take drastic action to protect the planet. The lyrics also touch on the issue of climate change, with the line "Greenhouse effect was anticipated/But everybody sat around watched and waited." This suggests that humans have known about the consequences of our actions for some time but have failed to take sufficient action to address them.


Overall, the song "A Lot to Fear" is a powerful plea for environmental action. The lyrics warn of the dire consequences of continued inaction and emphasize the need for immediate, concerted efforts to protect the planet.
