" The Call of Gaia" by Everlit is a song that addresses the idea of humanity's destructive impact on the environment. The lyrics speak to the Earth, referred to as Gaia, as a living organism that is being harmed by the greed and disregard of humans. The song describes how the Earth has given everything it has to support and sustain humanity, but in return, humans have turned their backs on the planet and instead prioritize their own desires and materialistic wants. The repetition of the phrase "scaring my skin the cycle’s on repeat" emphasizes the continuous cycle of destruction and neglect that Gaia is facing. The chorus of the song expresses a warning to humanity, stating that if they do not change their ways and start taking care of the Earth, Gaia will retaliate. The lines "I don’t need your saving I can save myself, I’ll save myself from you" highlight the idea that the Earth is resilient and has the power to survive without human intervention. Overall, "The Call of Gaia" serves as a reminder to listeners of the importance of environmental conservation and the need for individuals to take responsibility for their actions in order to protect and preserve the planet for future generations.
