Guerrilla Betrayed
Guerrilla Betrayed: Resisting Shadows, Shattered Hopes
Lyrics
Ships moving into this cave of cloud
Ships entering a cloud-covered area
Out of the white light up river
Moving away from bright light upstream
At a certain point you can only die
Emphasizing the inevitability of death at a certain stage
High contrast resolution
Sharp contrast between wet rock and new snow
Of wet rock and new snow
Describing the visual details of the surroundings
These bodies remind me
The bodies trigger a memory of tire marks in mud
Of tire marks frozen in the mud
Drawing a parallel between bodies and frozen tire marks
We thought we could change something
Expressing the belief in the ability to bring about change
We helped them win
Acknowledging unintended consequences of actions
We changed the slogans
Highlighting the alteration of slogans for change
We get hunted again
Facing consequences and being hunted again
When you're the fighter
Being a fighter in a larger political context
You're the politicians tool
Being a tool for politicians when you're a fighter
When you're the fighter
Highlighting the vulnerability and deception of a fighter
You're everybody's fool
Emphasizing the universal nature of being fooled as a fighter
They move like bears through city streets
Describing a group moving through urban areas like bears
They've got a flag flying over every factory
Symbolizing authority with flags over factories
I'd like to put a bullet through the world
Expressing a desire for drastic change, even violence
Wagon full of logs with one flat tire
Depicting a wagon with logs and a flat tire
Armed men moving down through the bush
Armed men moving through the wilderness
Up river at a certain point you can
Reiterating the inevitability of death at a certain point
Ships, white light, only
Repeating the imagery of ships and white light
