Here We All Come
Rising Voices: Unveiling the Message in Dean Omori's 'Here We All Come'
Lyrics
And here we all come
Commencing a collective arrival
We're comin' in fast
Approaching swiftly
You've seen it before
Instances witnessed previously
In showers of gas
In manifestations of conflict
And who owns the bomb
Ownership of destructive power
And Boko Haram
Reference to Boko Haram, a militant group
The children all dead
Reference to deceased children
Oh where have they gone
Querying the whereabouts of the departed
But you can't hold us back
Unstoppable force, numerous in count
We're a billion and one
Sense the growing presence
Feel us on the rise
Emerging strength from destruction
From the rubble we come
Symbolic rebirth from ruins
Woman in line
Representation of women in line for sustenance
Waiting for bread
Waiting for essential resources
Could be your mother
Highlighting the potential universality of suffering
Copyright free images of the dead
Use of non-proprietary images of casualties
And we will not be defined by you
Rejection of external definitions
And we will not be defined by you
Emphasizing independence from external judgment
And here we all come
Reiteration of collective arrival
We're all roped to the tide
Unified connection to the inevitable
We'll stand ya up
Determination to support
We won't leave ya behind
Commitment to unity
We're the Marquis De Sade
Association with Marquis De Sade and literary creation
We're the birth of the Bard
Birth of artistic expression
You'll feel us in love
Impactful presence in love
We're the conscience of God
Representing a divine moral guide
Taxation migration
Themes of tax and migration
Their lies are so cheap
Critique of deceptive rhetoric
Fear what we don't know
Apprehension of the unknown
Hold you when you sleep
Providing solace in vulnerable moments
We're vomiting song
Expression through music
Drop the salvation bomb
Metaphorical call for salvation
They can't kill us all
Defiance against attempts to extinguish
Oh here we come
Reaffirming the collective arrival
