The symbols in the song

Hi guys,

today we continued talking about Michael Jackson's Earth Song. Here is what we said:

                Past / Present / Future:

There are bright colours for the past, dark colours for the present; and the future is the past.

All the usual codes are destroyed.

The singer repeats "What about...?". He asks himself questions about the future. He has a bad feeling. He is worried.

Emotions: When the singer screams "ah", he is angry and scared of the future.

               The Bible (references):

- Jesus Christ on the cross, the Saviour of the planet. 

- Noah's Ark (the saviour of the animals).

- God: he controls the weather (the elements) and the time.

Vocab:

to weep = to cry

the Grim Reaper
