• In this song, X not only addresses environmental issues such as
deforestation and overfishing of the oceans, but also talks about
other moral issues, for example how children die because of a war.
• X addresses these issues primarily through questions. He begins
with very natural images, e.g. sunrise and rain. Thus he
immediately seems to set the focus on appearances of nature. But
he then contrasts this by the notion of killing fields, something very
man-made. This is a first hint at human destructive power. This is
not only limited to us humans, as one could assume at the first
moment, but also concerns nature. A killing field can be a place of a
war, and a place where we killed animals or destroyed nature in
order for personal wealth, space and belongings. A killing field (of a
war) looks often very devastated and desolate after the battle is
over. Nature might look like this, too.
Identify X and the song.
