Inner feelings: Anger in vain. I can't take anymore. No one needs to tell me what I'm fighting for. From thunder to sunshine, From sunset 'til dawn, What the hell is going on? Is this world about to lose control? [Bridge:] At least I know that I've been trying. But still our paradise is dying. And i've seen it so many times, mankind must be blind. Destroying and killing the nature in pain. Was my tears for them in vain? -tell me no!!! Still pollutions pond and dust: Nature bleeds everywhere. Why ain't mankind smart enough to feel my fear? My voice is the thunder, my breath is the wind, my tears are falling as rain. Why ain't mankind smart enough to feel the same? [Bridge:] At least I know that I've been trying. But still our paradise is dying. [Rep. Chorus] "Why do we have to destroy what God and the nature have given. Why do we have to destroy what was meant to be our paradise. I thought mankind was smart enough to understand that we were brought into this world for one reason: To rule the earth and to be the head of a body called " nature". Maybe the storms, the great fires and the earthquakes are just another way to punish us. And I believe - That's just what we deserve!"

"Paradise (What about us)" by Within Temptation, album: Hydra (2014)
There's no sense
The fire burns
When wisdom fails, it changes all
The wheel embodies all that keeps on turning
Blood red skies, I feel so cold
No innocence, we play our role
The wheel embodies all, where are we going?
All in all you'd expect the wise to be wiser
Fallen from grace all and all I guess
We should have known better 'cause
[Chorus:]
What about us,
Isn't it enough?
No we're not in paradise
This is who we are
This is what we've got
No, it's not our paradise
But it's all we want
And it's all that we're fighting for
Though it's not paradise
You and us
Or I and them
There comes a time
To take a stand
The wheel is watching all that keeps on burning
The venom works
It's like a curse
A Trojan horse
When will we learn
The wheel embodies all that keeps returning
All in all you'd expect the wise to be wiser
Fallen from grace all and all I guess
We should have known better 'cause...
[Chorus:]
What about us,
Isn't it enough?
No we're not in paradise
This is who we are
This is what we've got
No, it's not our paradise
But it's all we want
And it's all that we're fighting for
What about us,
Isn't it enough?
No we're not in paradise
This is who we are
This is what we've got
No, it's not our paradise
But it's all we want
And it's all that we're fighting for
But it's not paradise
What about us, what about us, what about us, isn't it enough?
The song seems to refer to the unwise human actions that brings destruction of nature and unhappiness and distress to them. The video clip supports such an interpretetion, as we read in wikipedia:
In a post-apocalyptic wasteland in consequence of a nuclear war, two people are seen in heavy protective gear walking through various parts of a ruined civilization, searching for what appears to be parts of a machine. Once the parts are found, they eventually drag the pieces up a sandy slope, where they activate a bigger machine by assembling the smaller parts, sending a big beam of light to the skies causing rain to fall. As the wasteland begins to show some signs of life, the two characters remove their headgear, and are revealed to be two young girls.
Some time later, a rich jungle is seen as Tarja and Sharon, implied to be the girls grown up, sing on the same sandy slope. They leave and the red light on the machine goes out, alluding to something unknown.

"Time Is Ticking Out" by Cranberries, album: Wake Up and Smell the Coffee (2001)
We better think about the things we say
We better think about the games we play
The world went round, yeah, around and round
We better think about the consequences
We better think about the global census
If time went down, yeah, if time went down
We better think about the global census
If time went down, yeah, if time went down
What about Chernobyl
What about radiation
We don't know, we don't know
What about radiation
We don't know, we don't know
What about deprivation, gluttony, the human nation
We don't know, we don't know
We don't know, we don't know
For me love is all
Time is ticking out
Time is ticking out
Looks like we've screwed up the ozone layer
I wonder if the politicians care
The dime went down, yeah, if time went down
I wonder if the politicians care
The dime went down, yeah, if time went down
What about our children then
Is there nothing left for them
We don't know, we don't know
For me love is all
Is there nothing left for them
We don't know, we don't know
For me love is all
I need the oxygen, I need the oxygen
For me love is all
To do do do
Time is ticking out yeah time is ticking out
To do do do
Time is ticking out yeah time is ticking out
as a tribute for the loss of this great singer, a warning about the consequences of human destructive actions towards environment.
