about

This song is about a documentary I watched on the BBC where dinosaurs are recreated using an early incarnation of CGI.

One of the fictional stories in the documentary was about an predecessor of the modern crocodile who was living in a pool of water that was slowly drying up. A t-rex waits by the pool (as food was becoming very scarce) watching the water evaporate with the intention of eating the crocodile. Once the water disappeared the croc's desperate last attempt to survive was to bury itself underground and hibernate in the hope water might return. The t-rex simply dug out the croc and eat it while helplessly unconscious.

I'm not sure why a pretend dinosaur made such an impression on me but it just seemed a pretty sad way to go.

lyrics

When you are the last
The bottom of the food chain
Where's your next meal coming in from?
Let's list the possibilities
It didn't take much thought
Don't put it down to luck
It didn't take much thought
Don't put it down to luck
You've left it there once before and now we're both stuck here
We're standing on the edge of nothing with no backup or support
Waiting for a conclusion
An inevitable final twist to come

Here we are

Bury yourself in parched ground to hibernate
All routes are now closed
All exits are blockades
It didn't take much thought
Don't put it down to luck
It didn't take much thought
Don't put it down to

Here we are
