The song "Barracuda I" by Julien Doré reflects on society's tendency to focus on trivial matters and disregard more important issues. The lyrics suggest that everyone has something to say, whether it's about someone's appearance or the climate, but no one is willing to fight for these causes. Despite the worsening conditions, people remain blind to the bigger picture. The chorus asks someone to tell the singer something they cannot see. It seems to imply that the speaker is seeking a different perspective or insight on the state of the world. They question if the world will explode and request the listener to speak to it on their behalf. The song also touches on the idea of taking a stand and not waiting for someone else to tell you what to do. The finger is described as raising and targeting those who claim to know why things are the way they are. The singer urges listeners to continue smiling at those who have taken advantage of them, despite their anger. They caution against seeing oneself as invincible and encourages self-reflection. In the second verse, the singer talks about how one day, they will pack their bags and leave for a future without kindness, away from the sleep of gray souls who left long ago. They encourage the listener to make the most of any remaining good, but to not blame themselves as men do not apologize. Overall, "Barracuda I" seems to be a commentary on society's tendency to focus on insignificant matters, ignore pressing issues, and avoid taking responsibility. It encourages listeners to seek a different perspective, stand up for what they believe in, and not place blame on themselves for the state of the world.
