"The Seed" by Aurora, album: A Different Kind of Human (Step 2) (2019)

 

Just like the seed

I don’t know where to go Through dirt and shadow I grow I’m reaching light through the struggle Just like the sea, I’m chasing the wonder I unravel myself, all in slow motion. You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money oh no When the last tree has fallen and the rivers are poisoned, You cannot eat money oh no You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money oh no When the last tree has fallen and the rivers are poisoned, You cannot eat money oh no Suffocate me, so my tears can be rain I will water the ground where I stand So that the flowers can grow back again cause just like the sea, everything want to live We are burning our fingers But we learn and forgive You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money oh no When the last tree has fallen and the rivers are poisoned, You cannot eat money oh no You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money oh no When the last tree has fallen and the rivers are poisoned, You cannot eat money oh no Feed me sunlight, feed me air Feed me truth and feed me prayers Feed me sunlight, feed me air Feed me truth and feed me prayers I see images of Killer whales You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money oh no When the last tree has fallen and the rivers are poisoned, You cannot eat money oh no You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money oh no When the last tree has fallen and the rivers are poisoned, You cannot eat money oh no

"Mother nature" by Angelique Kidjo (feat. Sting), album "Mother Nature" (2021)

 

Don't ever let them hurt you in anyway

Oh never let them steal and take the best of you
Keep building cities from the ground
We're rising with the waves

Don't ever let them hurt you in anyway
Oh never let them steal and take the best of you
Keep building cities from the ground
We're rising with the waves

Mother nature has a way of warning us
A time bomb set on a lost count down
Do you hear will you stop it
Won't you listen

Aminssiamn nin va mian lébé nin hihé a min
Aminssiamin ké lé ayin ghan ya djia édo la noussi lo
Each one of us needs one of us
We need each other

We need each other now
We need each other now
Each one of us needs one of us
We need each other

Don't ever let down hurt you in anyway
Oh never let them steal and take the best of you
Keep building cities from the ground
We're rising with the waves

Mother nature has a way of warning us
A time bomb set on a lost count down
Will you find will you stop it
Won't you listen

We need each other now
We need each other now
Each one of us needs one of us
We need each other

Aminssiamn nin va mian lébé nin hihé a min
Aminssiamin ké lé ayin ghan ya djia édo la noussi lo
I know we are humans
But why can't we use gift she has given us

Mother nature has a way of warning us
A time bomb set on a lost count down
Do you hear it will you stop it
Won't you listen

"Amazonia" by Gojira, album "Fortitude" (2021)

Incite a riot, put yourself in a trance

You rotate the frame in a world you rely on

A scar, a line has been drawn in the sand

Behold the life, the boundaries fools will crush

The greatest miracle

Is burning to the ground

Onto the next stage of the plan

Mourn the witness of the wind

A handful of thunder

Will rise one last time

There's fire in the sky

You're in the Amazon

The greatest miracle

Is burning to the ground

Godly Amazonia

Bloody Amazonia

Mighty Amazonia

Killing Amazonia

A song about the destruction of Amazon rainforest and indigenous tribes.The band established a month-long fundraiser for Brazilian indigenous rights charity Articulation of Indigenous People of Brazil (APIB).

"Age of Machine" by Greta Van Fleet, album "The Battle at Garden's Gate" (2021)

Perfect child

Plugged in since the womb
Prophet of the dune
In this electric tomb
Man has made
An omnipresent force
Heading on a course
For interstellar shores

God machine
Malfunctioned as it grew
And the circuits blew
Falling down on you
Now you're free
Unplug from the source
No more underscores
Open up the doors

Feeling
Oh god, the feeling
We need some healing
We need some healing
God knows if you feel defeated
You have been cheated
You have retreated

Feeling
Oh god, the feeling
We need some healing
We need some healing
God knows if you feel defeated
You have been cheated
You have retreated

Destroying the environment is also a destruction of culture and ourselves, either physically or mentally, our inner selves, reducing us to bare lives or living machines.

"The Disease of the Dancing Cats" by Bush, album "The Science of Things" (1999)

 Infested, polluted

Eighty tons of mercury dumped in the bay
It's bleeding, there's no roof
That's no way to treat a good friend

Your whiskey talks louder
Than most things I've read you've said
In situ, in place now
Sit back, unwind and relax

Big cheese is all greed
It's all relative to what you need and
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday, here's your nerve gas

All the fishermen and their families
All sickly crumbling cerebellum
It's all over for orangutans
Looks like they're back on the street again

Mistrusted, disrupted
Rape land and kill good habitat
A world weary, a world broken
A world spent and money money money money

Injected, transmitted
Eighty tons of mercury dumped in the bay
It's breathing
It puts the dog in the basket

All the fishermen and their families
All sickly growing sentimental
It's all over for orangutans
Looks like they're back on the street again

All the fishermen and their families
It's all over for orangutans
Looks like they're back on the street again

It's all over for orangutans
Looks like, looks like, looks like, yeah

Invaded, downgraded
Your bile lands right on my head
Uncalled for, unwanted
My sinking zero tolerance

All the fishermen and their families
All sickly crumbling cerebellum
It's all over for orangutans
Looks like they're back on the street again

All the fishermen and their families
It's all over for orangutans
Looks like they're back on the street again

It's all over for orangutans
Looks like it's a street again

a song about the Minamata mercury poisoning Disaster in Japan
