Exploring themes of human nature and existential angst, this song delves into the dichotomy between primal instincts and societal evolution. The lyrics suggest a struggle with the innate "basic beast inside" that conflicts with efforts to conform to societal norms and expectations. The repeated mention of "evolution" appears to be a critique of human progress, questioning whether advancements have led to true refinement or merely amplified inherent flaws. The reference to bones and species survival underscores a sense of inevitability and futility, implying that despite technological and cultural advancements, fundamental aspects of human nature remain unchanged. The song reflects a deep-seated nihilism, as it declares a lack of hope for individual transformation or societal redemption, ultimately emphasizing the overpowering influence of our intrinsic, animalistic tendencies.
Evolution
Lyrics
I diggin' with my fingertips
I'm gripping at the ground I stand upon
I'm searching for fragile bones
(Evolution)
I'm never gonna be refined
Keep trying but I won't assimilate
Should we have come far in time
(Watch the bow break)
And I'm sorry that I don't believe
By the evidence that I see
That there's any hope left for me
It's evolution
Just evolution
And I, I do not dare deny
The basic beast inside
It's right here, it's controlling my mind
And why do I deserve to die?
I'm dominated by
This animal that's locked up inside
Close up to get a real good view
I'm betting that the species will survive
Pull tight, I'm getting inside you
(Evolution)
And when were gonna find these bones
They're gonna wanna keep them in a jar
The number one virus caused by
(Procreation)
And the planet may go astray
In a million years I say
Those motherfuckers were all deranged
It's evolution
Just evolution
And I, I do not dare deny
The basic beast inside
It's right here, it's controlling my mind
And why do I deserve to die?
I'm dominated by
This animal that's locked up inside
Take a look around (take a look around, take a look around, take a look around)
Nothing much has changed (take a look around, take a look around, take a look around)
Take a look around (take a look around, take a look around, take a look around)
Nothing much has changed (take a look around, take a look around, take a look around)
Take a look around
Take a look around
Take a look around (nothing much has changed)
Take a look around
Take a look around (nothing much has changed)
Take a look around
Take a look around (nothing much has changed)
Take a look around
I, I do not dare deny
The basic beast inside
It's right here, it's controlling my mind
And why do I deserve to die?
I'm dominated by
This animal that's locked up inside
Why? (Why, why, why)
Why do I deserve to die? (Do I deserve to die? why, why)
