White Skull Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no price you can state or politicians to pay
No million dollars spent
And i raise my head and
Look for happiness but
I can't statr i can't stop
I can't go i can't walk
War is all around.
But you think at once it will change
All around leaving you astray
And you raise your head and
Look for happiness but
I can't start i can't stop
I can't go i can't walk
War is all around.
"planet earth is calling all of us
Have you ever heard her pray ?
We will be living through ruins
We won't survive ".
You think it's all dirty and nothing means
So you cry something and try to find a new reality
I know i know your fears
You got you got your tears
But i've got an illusion 'cause i wanna
Reach the sky and
Get real high.
Time slowly pass by and it's all the same
The rich get rich the poor get poor and that's the way
I know iknow your fears
You got you got your tears
But i've got an illusion 'cause i wanna
Reach that blue sky
And get real high
Whatcha feel today (x4)
The song "Save The Planet" by White Skull is a powerful plea to the people to open their eyes to what is happening to our planet Earth. The lyrics suggest that no amount of money, nor any politician can save the planet. The song takes a rather critical tone, pointing out that people may seem to be living in wellness and freedom, but war is all around. White Skull points to the fact that people may be living in a bubble, thinking that their way of life will never come to an end. However, the truth is that if we continue at this rate, not only will the planet suffer, but humanity itself will likely not survive.
The chorus of the song is a cry from the planet Earth, who is calling out to all of us to listen. It's a call to action, asking us to change our ways before it's too late. The lyrics express the despair that our world is heading for ruin, and we are all contributing to it. The verses, on the other hand, are a reminder that hope still exists, that an illusion of reaching the sky is the driving force behind the call to action.
Overall, "Save The Planet" by White Skull is an urgent plea to take action before it's too late. It's a passionate reminder that we are all responsible for the future of the planet, and we need to treat it with the respect and care it deserves.
