Slaves
Rising Voices, Falling Walls: Unveiling Society's Chains
Lyrics
The choir of the voiceless screams will rise
The collective voice of those without power will loudly express itself.
Echo through the valley of dreams where it will strive
This expression will resonate across the realm of aspirations and struggles.
So listen up, we have the right to know
An assertion that everyone has the right to be informed.
Your lies, we can see right through you
Your deceitful actions are transparent to us.
The bricks in the building of society will fall
The foundational elements of society will crumble.
With only chaos supporting the walls
Chaos will be the only support for the societal structure.
I'm not the one growing somber
Personal declaration of not succumbing to despondency.
We won't walk in the blind any longer
A refusal to remain uninformed or oblivious.
I'll never follow quietly for as long as i breathe
A commitment to vocal resistance as long as one is alive.
I have the courage to speak
Claiming the courage to express one's thoughts.
A shadow has settled in the sky
Symbolic imagery of darkness and a subtle rain of destruction.
Rain of the finest particle
Reference to destructive particles falling like rain.
Engines, noises and machines of destruction
Mention of noisy and destructive forces in the form of engines and machines.
Building up towards a shockwave of eruptions
The build-up to a powerful and impactful event.
Eyes shut to enjoy visions of life
Closing one's eyes to appreciate the positives in life.
Gone is the future ahead
The future is lost if we don't pause to reflect.
If we don't stop to think
A call to consider the consequences of one's actions.
Your life, the friction to their machinery
Your existence is causing friction and resistance to their oppressive system.
Is this the land of the free
Raising a question about the reality of living in a free society.
One can only hope to dream
An expression of hope for a better future through dreams.
The hypocritic pacifist, where are you at
Questioning the whereabouts of those who claim to be peaceful but may not act accordingly.
Mirrors never lie, are you not a fucking slave
Challenging the listener to confront their own reality as a subservient individual.
(Mirrors never lie, are you not a fucking slave)
A repetition emphasizing the honesty of mirrors and the existence of societal slavery.
Is this your land of the free
Repeating the question about the reality of living in a free society.
Tyrant vs tyrant supremacy
Highlighting the power struggle between oppressive forces.
Iron fist of greedy fear
The forceful rule of greed instilling fear.
Open up your eyes it's crystal clear
An urging to open one's eyes to the evident truth.
Is this your land of the free
Repeating the question about the reality of living in a free society.
When we're all slaves to the economy
Stating that everyone is enslaved by the economic system.
Something that will never be
Expressing doubt about the possibility of true freedom.
You will never ever be free
An emphatic declaration that true freedom is unattainable.
You will never ever be free
Reiterating the impossibility of achieving freedom.
Free your self
An exhortation to liberate oneself.
Slaves
The central theme of the song - individuals as slaves.
Get in line, we will march for control
An invitation or command to conform and march in a controlled manner.
Get in line, this future won't uphold
Anticipating a future that won't uphold positive values.
Slaves
A repetition of the theme - slaves.
