Know Your Enemy
Rising Against Shadows: Unveiling Social Injustice in 'Know Your Enemy'
Lyrics
On the brink of another war
Reflecting on the verge of another war
And their solution is to bomb the poor
Criticism of a solution involving bombing the impoverished
Realize the need to change
A call to recognize the necessity for change
The world that you know will soon be erased
The imminent erasure of the familiar world
In the end they want to call it progress
Cynical view of labeling destructive actions as progress
Reeling the masses while you are deceived
Manipulation of the masses leading to deception
And you fight with a false sense of justice
Fighting with a misguided sense of justice
Know your enemy
Emphasis on understanding and identifying the real adversary
Know your enemy!
Reiteration to know and understand the enemy
Brace for war
Preparation for war
To the new world order
Reference to a perceived new world order
Brace for war!
Reiteration of preparing for war
Exploitation
Highlighting exploitation
Systematic death
Commenting on systematic death
Total domination
Expressing the desire for total domination
Till there's no one left
Continuing until there's no one left
As you feed into the lies once more
Observing the repetition of falling for lies
Lost innocent lives are torn
Mourning the loss of innocent lives
Wake up protest
Encouragement to wake up and protest
Keep on the fight and don't ever give in
Advocacy for continuous resistance and not giving in
And you question their motives of decree
Questioning the motives behind decrees and actions
Locking you up and claim insanity
Highlighting the danger of being locked up under claims of insanity
There's no hope if we continue to be
Pessimism about the future if current actions persist
Know your enemy
Reiteration to know and understand the enemy
Know your enemy!
Re-emphasis on the importance of knowing the adversary
Brace for war
Preparation for war
To the new world order
Reference to the anticipated new world order
Brace for war!
Reiteration of preparing for war
Exploitation
Highlighting exploitation
Systematic death
Commenting on systematic death
Total domination
Expressing the desire for total domination
Till there's no one left
Continuing until there's no one left
Massive ordinance
Referring to massive ordinance and destructive events
Air bomb blast
Highlighting the impact of air bomb blasts
Can we call this progress?
Raising a critical question about labeling such events as progress
Don't you understand
An appeal for understanding the gravity of the situation
