One day we’ll wake up from this absolute nonsense. A star, long worshipped, will burn in the red. Disused and empty shell: icon of an old world.
Conscience awakened, we’ll take it from there.
-Gojira
The pessimist in me asks "will we ever have the chance?".
By the time we "wake up" would we even have the opportunity to do anything about it? Or just accept it like other rising costs like, rent and food, because let's be honest, technology is a necessity.
My interpretation of the closing lyrics of this song are “by the time we’ve fully understood the destruction we’re causing, the Sun will be about as close to death as it can be. Once the Earth is a husk, then we’ll start to make a change.”
