Agent Orange (Timmy and Bobby Song #14)

AGORANGE
This song deals with the destruction of the Earth from the point of view of it being predetermined all along. Y'know, like, it was baked into fate, like a cake, that the Earth was gonna be destroyed (the way it's getting destroyed, these days). I was wrestling with the question of the possibility that all of existence came into being all at once. In other words, everything in the past, present, and future already exists, and we're just moving along through time the same way a record needle moves on a record. The recording on the wax is already there; it's been there ever since it got pressed into existence. But you don't get to experience the music moving through time until the record needle moves along on it.

As a result, everything that's gonna happen has already been pre-determined. All the suffering has been dreamed into existence, and there's nothing we can do about it.

In this song, Agent Orange is a metaphor for the destruction of the Earth's ecosystems, which isn't that far of a stretch, given that Agent Orange destroys ecosystems in real life.

The lyrics are:
Those fossil-dudes are spraying the land with Agent Pain
It's coming down like ancient rain, the stuff that melts your brain

Timmy and Bobby say it is probably
Leftover visions from people that once were living

The dreams of suffering were baked into this planet
Did God plan it? The eagle's dream has landed

Timmy and Bobby say they had a fossil-dream
Of things intially baked into reality

Visions of the storms that are now adorned with fires
Pissing flames in forms that are Agent Orange attired
Even at birth, the Earth, she already knew
For what it's worth, she was cursed from day 1 and 2
And we ask God, "What the fuck is wrong with this world?"
It's sticking in our craws, with bad luck we long for those pearls...
of wisdom, but fate has been baked like a cake
Into reality, "The date is too late," Jesus states.

Visions of the storms, adorned with Agent Orange

The ancient rain is crying because the land is dying
The angels' pain is sighing; at night, it looks like lightning
