Letra de 'anthropocene (feat. atlas)' de Samsa

I always knew that we'd be by each other's side forever
Now our time has come, and I'd be satisfied if we died together
Yeah, our climate's fucked, we might as well enjoy the weather
Our time is up, and I'd be satisfied if we died together

Look, all this talk of greenhouse gases got me taciturn
Let's just stick our tongues out in the poisoned rain and let the acid burn
And when the Earth swings out of orbit, we can spin in circles on the grassy ferns
And just pretend to watch its axis turn
And on the bright side, if the Sun explodes before our April break
Then we won't have to do our tax returns

Here's the way I see it: If we're gonna die, let's do it on romantic terms
Like, we could linger on the boardwalk, watch tsunamis from the turf shore
I'll go get my board shorts, and you could bring your surfboard
Maybe we'll hold hands as we get swallowed into Earth's core
Or we could sing a Christmas carol, like a little chorus choir
By a thousand Christmas trees lit up from a forest fire
And watch the prancing, dashing comets blitz into the forest pyre
Not the reindeer, but the kind that killed the brontosaurus prior
And all its dino peers
And if the Ice Age hits, then we could be rancheros on the high frontier
Anthropocene pioneers
And melt each other's hearts on thawing glaciers in the cryosphere

The worst part is, this wasn't always something that we couldn't stop
Like, we lived through every benchmark
I remember- me and you read every update 'bout sea levels on our desktop
So, if we can't save us, maybe we could save the future from environmental deadlock
Maybe in an era when we're settled into bedrock
A later civ' would dig us out, we'd make headlines
Heck, we might even make a TED talk

And we could write a note, like: Don't fuck up your planet, please
Look at how things turned out for humanity
And maybe they would read it, or maybe they would use our carbon molecules
And particles from follicles as fossil fuel
Maybe it's impossible to change things, but we can try them anyway
Be carbon-complex renegades and then decay
And I would hold you near as we're infected by the Zika or Ebola scares
Get smoldered by a solar flare or iced out with the polar bears
I promise

I always knew that we'd be by each other's side forever
Now our time has come, and I'd be satisfied if we died together
Yeah, our climate's fucked, we might as well enjoy the weather
Our time is up, and I'd be satisfied if we died together

You and I could be capsulated inside a space
The size of a minute raisin in quiet and icy stasis
And when the fires slay our cryogenic hideaway
We could try to lie awake and dream about the finer days
Before the roads and paths were frozen, ashen plains
And the cities turned to itty bitty rows of crashin' planes
Crackin' pavement through the sad arrangement's broken after stains
Of blood and decimation, separatin' bones and mass from brains

When the days of olden past decay and exit through the years
We can lay in fields of shattered glass and question why we're here
If so many left this planet without any second chances
Why did we awake one morning to a separate time of cheer?
But the queries tend to drift and fade as eeriness can slip away
And hearing me, the loneliness demotes itself to in-your-face
Awareness of surroundings like photographs in picture frames
I'm glad to know it's only you and I among the flicking flames

Maybe even time can take a couple minutes off
And we can live forever while the planet is eclipsed in fog
It might boast disaster, dear, but we can sing a different song
And use the White House pillars as a mighty builder's Lincoln Logs
Make games of Chutes and Ladders out of real chutes and ladders
In an old apartment complex, like we even knew it mattered
Through the battered, beaten, broken bones, and factories and open homes
I'm sure we'd survive enough to see the moons of Saturn

Solvin' puzzles of the universe from Jupiter to Mars
Playin' scientists to try and say we flew there in our cars
Like: Maybe it's not all bad, this scenic view's bizarre
Watching hydrocarbon Neptune snow dissolvin' from the stars
And I never thought I'd say this, but frankly, it's been peaceful
To escape from that distasteful state of hate, deceit, and evil
Sure, a planet to ourselves is quite a journey for two people
But the only time I'm happy for is the time I get to see you

I always knew that we'd be by each other's side forever
Now our time has come, and I'd be satisfied if we died together
Yeah, our climate's fucked, we might as well enjoy the weather
Our time is up, and I'd be satisfied if we died together
