Cliché Guevara
Revolutionary Echoes: Decoding the Message in Against Me!'s Cliché Guevara
Lyrics
And we'll keep ourselves in a place where it's easy to hold onto.
Desire to stay in a comfortable place for emotional security.
The last threats came and went, this is the way that wars are played.
Reference to the cyclical nature of threats and conflicts in wars.
Always heading for a front, heading for a front,
Constantly moving towards the front lines of a situation or conflict.
We go into the obscurity of an easy to pass on feeling that objection is so cliche.
Entering a state of obscurity where objections are dismissed as cliché.
A new way on
Repetition emphasizing the pursuit of a new path or approach.
A new way on
-A new way on
-A new way on
-So can your pop sensibilities sing me the end of the world?
Skeptical inquiry about the ability of popular culture to address serious issues.
Turn gunshots and mortar blasts into a metaphor of how we are all the same.
Transforming violent events into a metaphor for human commonality.
Well there's a lot of things that should be said, so we're hammering six strings,
Acknowledgment of unspoken truths, expressed through playing music.
Machine gun in audible voices, this is the party we came for.
Metaphorical description of musical expression as a powerful force.
A new way on
Repetition suggesting a continuous search for a new way or perspective.
A new way on
-A new way on
-A new way
-We stand in amazement of motion in a world that is constantly revolving.
Observing and appreciating the constant motion of the world.
With plans of invasion and arms races racing we rock to the new sensation.
Acknowledging geopolitical tensions and the excitement of a new trend.
A new way on
Reiteration of the pursuit of a new path or approach.
A new way on
-A new way on
-A new way
