about

The term “Anthropocene” refers to our current, human-dominated era, in which centuries of human exploitation and wrangling of the natural world have left indelible, irreversible legacies. This song takes place from some greater omniscient perspective, offering detached observations about the tragedy inherent in human progress. Its narrator likely has tears in their eyes — both from sadness and anger. Insect drones that once soundtracked entire ecosystems have gone silent; oceans roil and collapse centuries-old cities; our endless schemes are finally ending. Meanwhile, the song romps along at a pace conducive to festival-like grooving, but skulks like a monster stalking its prey.

lyrics

Slow decline is speeding up in the sun
It chokes my lungs; a beacon lost in the flood
A transmission from the other side
Where truth’s not lost in the tangle of evidence and lies
Where memory shines only from one angle

While the continents are drowning under our feet
And your monuments are crashing into the sea

We’re running out of space
We’re running out of time for goodbyes
As the anthropocene fades into gray and turns out the light

Frozen time is melting into the deep
We’re floating down these modern seafront streets
Vanishing from our mother’s eyes
Whose love is lost and mangled while her foolish children cry
And tremble while oceans shriek and strangle

While our endless schemes are ending under our watch
And our insect drone is fading so sweet and soft

We’re running out of space
We’re running out of time for goodbyes
As the anthropocene fades into gray and turns out the light
