Not sure the natives and black people would agree about the “once great civilisation slowly turn into a rabid monster”.
I took a look at the lyrics and its various interpretations, beside the general sentiment you pointed out there was another part that was really interesting. According to the song writer
President Yoon in his speech in front of congress also mentioned the battle of Chosin and praised the US marines there, which drew rebukes from China MOFA.
I have to ask is Yoon a retard, does he really not understand the meaning behind these references?

Does he think Chosin was an US victory? Because well:
What was South Korean troops up to at Chosin? I mean besides .
Oh dear.. Folks, that your Vice President and Senior Director of Atlantic Council, Professor at Georgetown University, and Columnist at Foreign Policy.
This was a couple of weeks ago, wonder what it is now...
When you take a comfortable nap at IKEA and think Sweden is heaven...
Young Chinese are moving to Sweden in record numbers, seeking better labor conditions and a more tolerant society. Many are underwhelmed by what they find.
But after they arrive, they often realize life here is more complicated than it appears on social media. For some young Chinese, it can be a painful realization — one that forces them to reassess not only their views on Sweden, but on their own country.
“Sweden isn’t as chill as I expected,” said Wang, who spoke with Sixth Tone under a pseudonym to protect her privacy. “I’m not enjoying my life here.”
Cold reality
For Wang, one of the biggest surprises was Sweden’s high cost of living. It has been a “tough six months” for Sweden, she said, with inflation running at over 10%. Many of the things Wang used to do without thinking in China — from eating out, to getting a takeout coffee — she now has to avoid to save money.
Dark times
Every Swedish winter, however, tests the mettle of Chinese expats living here. In January, the sun sets before 3 p.m. in Stockholm; in northern Sweden, it never rises at all. The lack of daylight makes the body secrete less melatonin, which can insomnia and depression.

Their problem is that they are young and did not have a tough upbringing like some of us, or like our parents or grandparents, to put it mildly.
You know, it would not be fair to call them spoiled, but let's face the fact that the last forty years has been the best for the masses in the entirety of Chinese history.
Being young, they should go discover the world. However, being young, means they don't have that knowledge.
Right now, Western society is split in half, the haves and have not.
What separates them is capital.
Try to explain something like that to a young person, they would have no idea what we are talking about. It is only when they feel forced to scrimp and save some money to do something, then these life lessons become clearer.
For Chinese of a different generation, going aboard to make a life for oneself, that was a noble pursuit. Today is it entirely different. Since the West has changed into a society of haves and have not, and China is right there being a high income country, the reason for a Chinese to go aboard is vastly different than previous generations.
This we all know, if we are of a certain age.
The biggest motivation I would believe to go aboard if you already got money and want an easy life, and don't mind paying some tax. Then living aboard in a wealthy Western country is quite alright. With the Chinese community being so large, it is almost like an extension of living in China, in some respects.
Or maybe Yoon is a next level Gordon Chang
