The human race constantly boasts about it's abilities. Being recognized as the strongest race , is not the same as being the brightest. It was once said,' the sharpest race is the one that can adapt to the changing environment the best', We fail to realize that day by day our earth is ruining itself because of our actions. The inconvenient truth of a shriveled up toxic planet doesn't seem to make us cringe. Instead of facing the worse to come, we're ready to pull out the last few bottles of beer and celebrate the remaining days we have to live. Gotye in his composition of 'eyes wide open' mentions so ;
'So this is the end of the story ? '
everything we had , everything we did,
is buried in dust , and the dust is all that's left of us'
Expressing contempt towards the human race , Gotye asks ' So is this the end of the story ?'.
The thought of a full fledged annihilation doesn't seem to stir a single emotion in us. I suppose man will never understand the value of our earth until it is nothing more than dust and earthy crumbs. Looking at how ignorance is keeping us bliss , we are surely to be remembered as nothing more than dust.
' But only a few are worried ,
While the signs were clear , they had no idea,
You just get used to living in fear ,
or give up ,
when you can't even picture your future. '
The environmentalists , climatologists and workers bring shocking news to our homes everyday. The rate of natural disasters has gone up rapidly. The immediate aftermath of the disaster often drop our jaws when we hear of the nature's wrath. Gotye admits that we succumb easily. Without putting up a fight , we simply lay back and wait for defeat to cliam us. How shameful can we be? Whether it is laziness or fear , we are utterly demotivated. We seemed to have accepted it as an inevitable end.
Gotye couldn't have said it better,' we walk the plank with our eyes wide open'.
