In the year 2100, storms and tornadoes have become the norm.
These natural disasters characterise everyday life - especially for children.
The lines "Look Mom, the tornado has passed. May I go out and play?" show a frightening normalisation of danger and destruction.
Interpretation
1. Everyday life in the climate catastrophe:
The song reflects how the consequences of climate change are changing people's lives - extraordinary events are becoming ordinary ones.
2. children as a mirror of the future:
The view of a child shows us the emotional dimension - despite the risks, they want to live and play ‘normally’.
3. irony & melancholy:
The innocent question ‘Can I go out and play?’ becomes a symbol of adaptation to a new, dangerous reality.
