The Warning
Under Threat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Invading silently
Crushing slowly
The crucial moment arrives
This words you can (hear) read
But you will never learn
Till the beast devours
So the warning is here
Be the strong one that survives
Crashing once, crashing twice
You will never know
When it's gonna end
Once I said: this chance could be the last,
But sometimes the animals are deaf
Living by their selfish genes
Losing perception of acts
Becoming the feast of time
And one of those who will fall
Living in the random of posibilities
We are the animal devouring or dying
Dragged by the change of times.
The Warning by Under Threat contains a message for those who choose to live their life carelessly, without considering the consequences or being mindful of their surroundings. The song describes a situation where danger, in the form of an unknown beast or force, comes suddenly and invades silently, before crushing slowly in a crucial moment. The lyrics warn that even though one might be able to hear or read warnings, they will never truly learn until the beast devours the last piece of their being. The message suggests that we should be prepared and vigilant, and perhaps even strong, to be able to survive such an event.
The song goes on to say that crashing once or twice, we will never know when it's going to end. It warns that even though we may have chances in life, sometimes we are deaf to them, living by our selfish genes, and we can lose perception of our actions. The lyrics suggest that we are all animals, constantly devouring or dying, being dragged by the change of times, and those who fall are those who do not respect the dangers that surround them.
Overall, the song is a warning to take a good look at our lives and make sure that we are not being thoughtlessly reckless, lest we fall prey to the beast that may come at any moment.

Israel and Hamas get into it and they think this is an option? It's not an option. Israeli Americans and Palestinian Americans, remember that you are Americans first and foremost. Please, remain peaceful with one another. 🇺🇸

A lot have been propagated by foreign groups. This is a huge problem. Lonely, broken men, under American education system means they're easy to convince.

The terror threat level has been "elevated" (condition yellow) for three years now. Now, according to Catherine Herridge, it's "high" (orange). The highest is "severe" (red).

With a whole myriad of options, I hope it’s only a protest.
