Subject of the song[edit]

The subject of the song should be added. In a 2000s interview, Dio explained that the song is about the "ecological situation and how we’re trying to run before we can walk, and this is what we’re doing to the planet, and that we’re not thinking about what we’re doing". ("Ronnie James Dio gets political". Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles. 2006-01-22. Retrieved 2020-06-12.) "[E]cological situation" refers to what we do to our environment, for example causing climate change (Interview with Dio in 2006, start at 4:19). --Doovele (talk) 21:58, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No it shouldn't. Wikipedia:WikiProject_Songs#Article_content: Do not include "original research" such as opinions about a song, or interpretations of the lyrics or even statements about what the song is "about". SolarFlash^Discussion 00:28, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it original research? It is not my personal interpretation. The lyricist said it. --Doovele (talk) 08:43, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
