Epilogue
ave;new Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Finger pointed
In guarded stance
You'll listen
If you'd like to share
New thoughts, new ideas
Welcome in
If you're not venal
Praise veracity
Count me in
Count me in
I am not afraid of trying
We are not afraid
But are you
We don't inherit
The planet from our parents
It's borrowed from our children
You
You guys have the time
The half of you are old
The other half's still young
Take the mic
Before it gets too late
Take ther microphone now
We shouldn't take more out of the Earth
Than we give back
Are our lives really better?
We just don't know yet when and by whom
All that we get will be due later
The interest will paid
What we possess in technology
We lack in humanity
What we possess in technology
We lack in humanity
We've got everything we need
Are you awake?
Are you ready?
Remember awareness is the first step towards change
In a world of self-destruction
Is it mentioned that in these days
You don't have to be dead
To give your body away
To the profits of power and science
May I
May we speak?
May I
May we speak?
We don't inherit
The planet from our parents
It's borrowed from our children
Learn from your mistakes
Learn from your mistakes
Let's keep singing
Please keep singing
And screaming
Something's wrong
When peace cannot get the attention
How can Rock change the world?
Let's give it a try with new songs
This is an anti-war, bombing, power
Pollution, fear, greed album
Let's keep singing
Will we touch your heart
Please keep singing
As all of this touched ours
Let's keep singing
Let's keep singing
Please keep singing
Please keep screaming
The lyrics of ave;new's song "epilogue" present a passionate plea for change and introspection in today's society. The song opens with a confrontational tone, as the singer screams in the face of someone, demanding their attention and willingness to listen. However, the tone quickly shifts to a more welcoming one, as the lyrics express a desire for open dialogue and the exchange of new thoughts and ideas. The artist emphasizes the importance of honesty and integrity, inviting those who are not venal (corrupt) to join the cause.
The lyrics then delve into the theme of responsibility towards future generations and the planet. The song reminds the audience that we do not inherit the Earth from our parents but borrow it from our children. It highlights the significance of taking care of the Earth and not exploiting its resources excessively. The lyrics question whether our lives are truly better off with all the technological advances, suggesting that we may be lacking in humanity despite our progress.
The song then calls for awakening and readiness for change, encouraging awareness as the first step towards making a difference. It acknowledges the self-destructive tendencies of society and raises the disturbing fact that in today's world, even the living can give their bodies away for the sake of power and science. The lyrics emphasize the importance of learning from mistakes and continuing to sing and scream for a better world.
Overall, "epilogue" serves as a rallying cry for a more conscious and compassionate society, urging individuals to take responsibility for the planet and be agents of positive change.

The half of you are old
Half of you are aged

While the rest are still youthful
Take the mic
Seize the microphone
Before it gets too late
Act before the situation worsens

Are you awake?
Are you aware and conscious?
Are you ready?
Are you prepared?
Remember awareness is the first step towards change
Recognizing the need for change is the initial phase
In a world of self-destruction
In a society wrought with harm and ruin
Is it mentioned that in these days
Is it even acknowledged that nowadays
You don't have to be dead
You do not need to be deceased
To give your body away
To sacrifice yourself
To the profits of power and science
To benefit those in control and scientific advancement
May I
Can I
May we speak?
Can we have a voice?
Learn from your mistakes
Gain wisdom from your errors
Let's keep singing
Continue to sing
Please keep singing
Continue to express yourself through music
And screaming
And shouting in protest
Something's wrong
There is a problem
When peace cannot get the attention
When the importance of peace goes unnoticed
How can Rock change the world?
How can music influence global transformation?
Let's give it a try with new songs
Let's experiment with fresh music
This is an anti-war, bombing, power
This album opposes war, bombing, and abuse of authority
Pollution, fear, greed album
It addresses issues of pollution, fear, and excessive desire
Will we touch your heart
Will our music resonate with you emotionally
As all of this touched ours
Just as these issues have affected us deeply
