you know, people often call gotye a one-hit-wonder, but those people have clearly never heard the absolute perfection of 'eyes wide open' which is about humanity's imminent and inevitable destruction due to overconsumption, consumerism and corporate greed, and inaction in the face of climate change
including such lines as 'we walk the plank with our eyes wide open'
and 'while the signs were clear, they had no idea. you just get use to living in fear, or give up when you can't even picture your future'
and 'the saddest thing is all of it could've been avoided'
anyway go listen to it it's a dystopian jam that feels a lot like bastille
