Rebellious Youth: Unleashing Chaos in a World Aflame
Lyrics
Subliminal- Did you hear it on the radio?
Questioning if the message was received through subliminal means, possibly from the media.
We'll die, we'll die- past lives who won't comply
Reflection on past lives that resisted conformity and faced the consequence of death.
We'll die, we'll die- we'll die but not tonight
Acknowledging the inevitability of death but asserting it won't happen tonight.
God damn, they won't keep it down
Expressing frustration that others won't be quiet or restrained.
Drown them out with dissident sounds
Attempting to drown out unwanted influences with rebellious and unconventional sounds.
We're shadows escaped from our hosts-
Describing a sense of detachment from societal norms, running free.
Untethered, unbound, now we're running around
Emphasizing the liberation from restrictions, being untethered and unbound.
Snake eyes and venomous hearts
Using symbolic imagery of snake eyes and venomous hearts to depict a dangerous, rebellious nature.
The kids today don't need a kickstart
Observing that today's youth don't require external motivation, they are self-driven.
In this machine we're just broken parts
Viewing humanity as components of a machine, suggesting brokenness and dysfunction.
Where do I start?
Expressing uncertainty about where to begin in addressing societal issues.
War is in our veins, scrambling our brains
Describing the pervasive influence of war in society, affecting mental states.
Cities up in flames, we're the ones to blame
Attributing responsibility for societal chaos and destruction to the collective "we."
Oh lord- we don't need a savior
Rejecting the idea of needing a savior or external intervention.
Brace yourself and behold your future
Encouraging readiness for an impending, disruptive future.
It's coming in like a brick through a window, yeah!
Describing the forceful arrival of change or upheaval.
The kids are up to something
Suggesting that the younger generation is plotting or planning something significant.
This is your second coming
Referring to a transformative moment, akin to a second coming or rebirth.
Got our fists in the air, so start saying your prayers
Symbolizing defiance and resistance with raised fists, challenging the status quo.
They say we polluted the waters
Addressing accusations of environmental damage, questioning the purity from the beginning.
Baby it was poisoned from the start
Connecting societal turmoil to a pre-existing, inherent corruption or poison.
Armageddon running through us, igniting our rebel hearts
Associating a sense of impending doom with rebellious spirits igniting.
Burn down the cities of old, paint red the statues of gold
Advocating for the destruction of established structures and symbols of power.
Starting fires everywhere 'cause our bloods so fucking cold
Emphasizing the chaos caused by a cold and rebellious nature.
Remember when we used to sin?
Reflecting on past rebellious behavior and the need to shed old ways.
We'll shed our skin, releasing the fire we've been stowing away for years
Anticipating a release of pent-up energy and rebellion that has been suppressed.
And the heart will bleed
Describing emotional turmoil with bleeding hearts as a consequence.
The vultures feed
Depicting a scavenging, opportunistic nature in the face of emotional distress.
Now we're freed- tell us we're wrong and blame our rock n roll songs
Asserting freedom from constraints, challenging criticism directed at rock and roll culture.
Here we are, the world is burning with fires we all started
Observing the consequences of collective actions, with the world burning as a result.
This is our moment, it's not an anthem- a riot, rage not violence
Defining the current situation as a unique moment of chaos and resistance, distinct from an anthem or violence.
The kids are up to something
Reiterating the notion that the younger generation is actively planning something significant.
This is your second coming
Repeating the idea of a transformative second coming, possibly emphasizing its inevitability.
Got our fists in the air, so start saying your prayers
Reaffirming defiance with raised fists and a call to prayer in the face of impending change.
The kids are up to something
Reiterating the theme of a rebellious, venomous nature running through the younger generation.
Our venomous blood is running
Declaring a dramatic entrance or emergence from a marginalized position.
Hit the fucking lights, we're crawling from the gutters tonight
Urging action or intensity with a command to turn on the lights as the rebellious spirit emerges.
