The repetition of &#8220;on and on&#8221; suggests a cyclical nature to our behavior and the ongoing consequences we face.<\/p>\n<p>The bridge introduces the idea of facing consequences for our actions, emphasizing the urgency of addressing the problem before it&#8217;s too late. The reference to &#8220;self-judgment day&#8221; implies a reckoning with our own choices and their impact on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>The chorus challenges listeners to confront their role in environmental degradation, asking if they can honestly claim to have done no harm and if they would sacrifice others to avoid accountability. The break underscores the need for swift comprehension and action.<\/p>\n<p>Instrumental sections with guitar solos and drum fills add intensity and urgency to the message, reinforcing the gravity of the situation.<\/p>\n<p>The song serves as a call to awareness and responsibility, urging individuals to confront the reality of climate change and take meaningful action to mitigate its effects.<\/p>\n<h3>From the album &#8220;Nowadays&#8221; by <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/The_Beatless_Sense_Mongers\/\">The Beatless Sense Mongers<\/a><\/h3>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/MegaEpix-Enormous\/\">MegaEpix Enormous<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/\">A song about The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On-Our-Way.mp3 On-Our-Way.mp4 Awake?
