Kine
Rebellion Unveiled: Defying Conformity in Abney Park's 'Kine'
Lyrics
Bring a line of the people
Calling for a group of individuals
Bring down, scoop 'em up.
Overpower or control them
Take the life from the people,
Extract vitality from these individuals
Go down, and move up.
Descend and elevate simultaneously
This is were I reveal myself,
Expressing personal revelation
Were I show that I'm not fine.
Revealing inner turmoil or distress
Can't follow the cattle people,
Refusing to conform to a mass mentality
Not one of the Kine.
Not identifying with a homogeneous group
This is were I reveal myself,
Reiteration of personal revelation
Were I show that I'm not fine.
Emphasizing internal struggle
Can't follow the cattle people,
Resistance against conformity
Not one of the Kine.
Disassociation from a uniform identity
This is were I redeem myself,
Seeking personal atonement or improvement
Were I show that I'm not blind.
Acknowledging clear perception
Can't follow your party's people,
Rejecting affiliation with a specific group
Not one of your kind.
Not aligning with a particular collective
Still I pray, that I'll escape one day.
Expressing hope for eventual liberation
No food, for the soul, no friends, no goal
Repetition emphasizing deprivation: lack of nourishment, companionship, and purpose
No food, for the soul, no friends, no goal.
-No food, for the soul, no friends, no goal
-No food, for the soul, no friends, no goal.
-Here's your cube
Issuing items symbolizing confinement or control
Here's your stall,
Referencing a confined space
Here's your phone,
Highlighting a device for communication/control
On the wall.
Emphasizing restriction or surveillance
Bring a line of the people
Calling again for a group of people
Take their life, take it all.
Request to take away their vitality completely
