Sundown
Rebellion's Anthem: Unveiling the Struggle Against Power
Lyrics
These rotten souls get to decide the rules
Powerful individuals with corrupt morals determine the rules.
They choose the game and exclude us all
They control the game, excluding others from participation.
The politics choke the air from the room
Political manipulation suffocates the atmosphere in the room.
We're left breathing the carbon from the tail pipe
People are left breathing polluted air, symbolic of the negative consequences of those in power.
As they drive away
The powerful depart with the wealth/resources of the community.
With our riches
They take what belongs to the community.
And they're here to stay
The powerful are entrenched in their position and not leaving.
In our side pockets
They continue to exploit and take advantage.
Getting a bit of hope? Just wait...
Suggesting a false sense of hope; a sarcastic remark.
They put their thumb down and snuffed it out!
The powerful suppress any signs of hope with authority.
Forget your fucking rights!
Disregard for individual rights is emphasized.
Couldn't get enough so they came for more
They are insatiable and always want more.
Throw the stone, induce a fucking war
Provoking conflict, possibly for their own benefit.
Pause a moment, they have time on their side
They have the luxury of time on their side.
We'll sit and get no resolution
No resolution is reached as they manipulate the situation.
As we fade away
The community fades away, losing its significance.
Into oblivion
Symbolic descent into obscurity.
Well patiently wait
Waiting passively for change that may never come.
Until we die of boredom
A bleak future until boredom, suggesting prolonged suffering.
Getting a bit of hope? Just wait...
Repetition of false hope, reinforcing the sarcastic tone.
They put their thumb down and snuffed it out!
Authority suppresses hope once again.
Forget your fucking rights!
Reiteration of the disregard for individual rights.
They put their thumb down and snuffed it out
Continued suppression of hope by those in power.
Protect your fucking rights
An urging to protect one's rights in the face of oppression.
