Lyrics
I see savages, I seen savages
Observation of savage behavior and experiences with brutality
Battered children, shattered families
Reference to the impact of violence on children and families
Shots fired off so quick so fast you would think it's on accident
Describing rapid and seemingly accidental gunfire related to patriotism
All done for the red for the white and the blue, like
Action taken for the nation, symbolized by the colors red, white, and blue
Wait who's flag is this? (Usa)
Raising awareness about the consequences and questioning national identity
And I ask you was it an act of valor or a strange reality (huh)
Questioning whether actions are heroic or a distorted reality
And they make us free thinkers feel like we the radicals (huh)
Expressing frustration at being labeled radicals for independent thinking
But the world is a battlefield
Portraying the world as a battleground for different ideologies
And right now we the establishment (woo)
Claiming the current perspective as the prevailing system
When it comes to war there's no real parameters
Highlighting the lack of defined limits in war
American pie as the sweet distraction
Referring to the distraction of societal issues with a metaphorical "American pie"
From what's really happening
Indicating a disconnection between appearances and reality
I can see the vultures, fly over me
Observing vultures as symbolic of ominous forces
Watching me all the time
Feeling constantly monitored and scrutinized
With blood on their wings
Symbolizing ominous forces with a metaphorical "blood on their wings"
I feel 'em getting closer, closer
Sensing the encroachment of threatening influences
I feel 'em getting closer, closer
-See the plan is to eradicate the planet
Describing a sinister plan to eliminate opposition
Anyone who apposes mysteriously will vanish
Highlighting the mysterious disappearance of those who resist
The travesties are endless
Characterizing the extent of tragedies as vast
The list is gigantic
Emphasizing the enormity of the list of injustices
The stakes have been raised
Indicating an escalation in the severity of the situation
Time to wheel in the cannons
Calls for a forceful response, possibly military
It's propaganda
Highlighting the role of propaganda in shaping public opinion
And all they gotta do is turn on the cameras
Pointing out the influence of media in manipulating perceptions
And they'll say anything to make it all look random (make it all look random)
Questioning the authenticity of information presented by the media
As they hide the keys to unlock the answers
Emphasizing the concealed truths and the search for answers
Last time I check the double standard is not a standard at all
Challenging the idea that double standards are acceptable
And we fall and we struggle just to get right back up and then fall
Highlighting the continuous struggle and resilience
But we climb and we crawl and we fight 'til it's off
Emphasizing the determination to keep fighting despite challenges
And we search through the dark
Searching for meaning in difficult circumstances
Trynna make sense of these dolls just to figure out that it's flawed
Recognizing flaws and imperfections in the system
I can see the vultures, fly over me
Reiterating the presence of ominous forces symbolized by vultures
Watching me all the time
Expressing a constant sense of surveillance and scrutiny
With blood on their wings
Symbolizing ominous forces with a metaphorical "blood on their wings"
I feel 'em getting closer, closer
Intensifying the feeling of impending danger
I feel 'em getting closer, closer
-Watching over me, over me
Highlighting the surveillance and control attempts
Trying to get a hand and control of me (controlling me)
Emphasizing the struggle against external attempts to control
Trying to get a hand and control of me (controlling me)
-Trying to get a hand and control of me
