Story Behind the Song
Overpopulation is an increasingly troubling problem for the human race. In fifteen or twenty years, we will have doubled the world's human population AGAIN. 1995's six billion people will soon be our twelve billion. And what have we, as a culture, decided to do? Increase food production, to compensate for increased population, and rely on birth-control methods. Increasing food ALWAYS results in a higher birth rate, and the world produces too much food as it is. We must decrease food production as soon as possible to steady the population or else we risk a total destruction of earth and all of her creatures.
Lyrics
And I smile as my eyes meet the horizon.
The sun, only just risen, has vanished beneath the skyline.
The sky wraps around clouds, devouring oceans and mountains, lakes and plateaus,
A cerulean blanket to cover a mother's corpse.
Imagine the sound of twelve billion hearts beating at once the world over, pounding through the earth and the sea. Twelve billion mouths will need feeding, but how?
Another day and a veil of blue invades every line of sight.
A sky once admired has collapsed under its own weight.
The beauty which once inspired hope has smothered the hopeful and drowned the beautiful.
What for earth cares the sky when she lives above all?
Hoard, overproduce, and underdistribute. We must guarantee cultural collapse and, to that end, it's important that the economy supercede well-being. We need to produce more to starve poverty and to feed the poor, but that means an increase for the wealthy as well so that we all know who's who. Nevermind that an increase in food always results in an increase in population. We suffer from the blessing of human exemption.
The more we lie to ourselves, the more we fade. Our global lack of trust we must betray. Our cultural vision demands a change and all we've thought to do is to sit and to wait.
They all will stress "economy." Perhaps that isn't what we need.
