BAD RELIGION

- Fertile Crescent Lyrics

Come and see the brilliant light
Don't let your emotions mask your sight
It's the manifestation of a deeper fight
That affects me and you

My optimism was running high
A new world order was on my mind
But I couldn't believe it when I heard them say
They're blowing it away

The fertile crescent is burning today
And baby my emotions are too
The cradle of humanity has led us all astray
And we're all in this together don't you know
'Cause our species has nowhere else to go

Aggression rears it's ugly head
Retaliation brings further dread
The two are linked by unseen threads
That wind back through time
I don't agree with this outdated trend
Nationalism is an evil friend
But hatred is instilled by invisible lines
Drawn in our minds

The fertile crescent is haunting us today
And baby our instincts are too
The ghost of humanity is warning us this way
And I think that we all should heed it don't you know
'Cause we've got nowhere else to go

The fertile crescent is haunting us today
And baby our instincts are too
The ghost of humanity is warning us this way
And I think that we all should heed it don't you know
'Cause we've got nowhere else to go

What is the meaning behind Fertile Crescent lyrics?


When we search for the deeper meaning hidden within the lines, Bad Religion's song 'Fertile Crescent' offers a deep criticism of mankind's destructive side and the relentless cycle of violence and revenge through the analogy of the 'fertile crescent' as the civilization's birthplace that is now overlaid with war both literally and figuratively. Fertile Crescent lyrics bring forth mainly the areas of social commentary, reflection, despair, angst, and anger through a very creative and powerful way. Besides, the song makes very clear the following themes: the need for awareness and enlightenment of the human race, the disillusionment with the power structures, and the critique of nationalism and hatred among people as well as the urgency for change. The lyrics portray themes like conflict, aggression, and the negative side of nationalism that might be thought of as addressed to mature audiences mostly. The language is, however, still suitable and there are no direct mentions of violence, sex, or drugs, thus making it a PG-rated song.
