Brand the Sky Sell the sky Sell the sky Buy the sky Brand the sky The Earth is an atom Surrounded by screens A dome with projections That cover up dreams New digital landscapes Unnatural things We claim we've evolved much Such primitive beings The future is now Or so they say Seems futile somehow The price we've paid We're finding it hard To seek out stars The heaven's gone blank Once blue now black Sell the sky Sell the sky Buy the sky Brand the sky Sell the sky Sell the sky Bye bye sky Bye bye sky

ترجمه

Sell the sky Sell the sky Buy the sky Put a label on the sky The Earth is tiny Surrounded by screens A dome with images That hide dreams New digital worlds Unnatural things We say we've advanced But are still basic The future is now Or so they say Seems pointless The cost we've paid We're struggling To find stars The sky's gone blank Once blue, now black Sell the sky Sell the sky Buy the sky Put a label on the sky Sell the sky Sell the sky Goodbye sky Goodbye sky

توضیح

The poem 'Brand the Sky' critiques the commercialization and digitalization of the natural world. It opens with a repetitive call to 'sell' and 'brand' the sky, suggesting a commodification of nature. The Earth is described as an 'atom,' emphasizing its smallness and insignificance amidst technological advancements. Screens and projections are depicted as barriers that obscure dreams, symbolizing how digital landscapes have replaced natural ones. The poem questions the notion of progress, highlighting the irony of claiming evolution while remaining 'primitive beings.' The future, often portrayed as promising, is seen as futile due to the costs incurred. The struggle to 'seek out stars' reflects a loss of connection with the cosmos, as the sky turns from blue to black, symbolizing environmental degradation and loss of wonder. The poem concludes with a farewell to the sky, underscoring the irreversible impact of human actions.
