Karmageddon - Iyah May


Iyah May adalah penyanyi sekaligus dokter medis asal Australia yang dikenal berani mengangkat isu-isu sosial dan politik kontroversial melalui lagu-lagunya. Lagu terbarunya, "Karmageddon," menjadi viral dan memicu perbincangan luas karena liriknya yang kritis terhadap berbagai masalah dunia saat ini, seperti pandemi COVID-19, korupsi politik, budaya cancel, hingga konflik Israel-Palestina.

Lagu ini menyinggung berbagai topik sensitif, termasuk konflik Israel-Palestina yang digambarkan sebagai "genosida" dalam liriknya, serta kritik terhadap industri farmasi, misalnya pada baris seperti "Man made virus watch the millions die, Biggest profit of their lives", dan media yang dianggap menyebarkan kebohongan. Keberanian Iyah May menolak mengubah lirik kontroversial ini sampai membuatnya kehilangan kontrak dengan manajernya dan memutuskan untuk merilis lagu secara independen.

Meski begitu, "Karmageddon" mendapat dukungan besar dari pendengar di seluruh dunia. Lagu ini pernah mencapai posisi 44 di UK Singles Sales Chart. Pada Januari 2025, lagu ini sudah didengarkan lebih dari 150.000 kali di Spotify dan berhasil menembus Top 20 di iTunes, menunjukkan resonansi kuat dengan publik yang merasakan kegelisahan atas kondisi dunia saat ini.

Iyah May sendiri mengaku bahwa pengalamannya sebagai dokter yang bekerja di garis depan pandemi COVID-19 sangat memengaruhi isi lagu ini. Ia menggunakan musik sebagai medium untuk menyuarakan kebenaran dan mengajak orang lebih sadar akan realitas sosial-politik yang kompleks dan penuh tantangan.

LYRICS:

I open up my phone on a Monday morning

Staring at my screen

I'm tired and a little lonely

Mr Musk he said some shit the lefts are angry

Twitter wars and Gaza man it's overwhelming

Maybe that's how life becomes when

People less important than a profit line

No one cares about your dreams just pay

Your tax on time

Keep scrolling

Hold me near to you now

Gender, guns, religion and abortion rights

You better pick a tribe and hate the other side

Keep scrolling

But did you see Taylor live?


Man made virus watch the millions die

Biggest profit of their lives

Here's inflation that's your prize

This is Karmageddon

Turn on the news and eat their lies

Kim or Kanye pick a side

Cancel culture what a vibe

This is Karmageddon

Corporations swear they never lie

Politicians bribed for life

More than war it's genocide

This is Karmageddon

Welcome to the chaos of the times

If you go left and I go right

Pray we make it out alive

This is Karmageddon


It's fashion week celebs lose ribs

Balenciaga how's the kids

Just ask Drake he's losing beef

Kendrick killed him in his sleep

Diss tracks about beating up your queen

While women dying doesn't cause a scene

While we're fed all these distractions

Kids are killed from Israel's actions

I'mma speak my mind

Sick to death of all these crazy lies

A circus for humanity's decline

We just want a peaceful life give the people back their rights

And I've still got a beef

Cause Fauci's laughing and we've been asleep

And WHO's a liar and it's running deep

Big pharma finna eat they a devil make them weak


Man made virus watch the millions die

Biggest profit of their lives

Here's inflation that's your prize

This is Karmageddon

Turn on the news and eat their lies

Kim or Kanye pick a side

Cancel culture what a vibe

This is Karmageddon

Corporations swear they never lie

Politicians bribed for life

More than war it's genocide

This is Karmageddon

Welcome to the chaos of the times

If you go left and I go right

Pray we make it out alive

This is Karmageddon
