All That Jazz
Echoes of Rebellion: Unveiling the Essence Behind 'All That Jazz'
Lyrics
Where the hell have you been
Questioning someone's whereabouts and expressing impatience.
We've been waiting with our best suits on
Waiting eagerly, dressed formally.
Hair slicked back and all that jazz
Describing a polished appearance with styled hair, invoking a sense of sophistication ("all that jazz").
Rolling down the Union Jack
Symbolic reference to the Union Jack, suggesting a connection to British identity or culture.
See you at the barricades babe
Anticipation of meeting at a metaphorical barricade, possibly a challenging or pivotal moment.
See you when the lights go low, Joe
Anticipation of seeing the person when the situation becomes intense or serious.
Hear you when the wheels turn round
Awareness of the person's presence during significant moments, like the turning of wheels.
Someday when the sky turns black
Referencing a future event when the atmosphere becomes ominous or difficult.
It appears because it's what I feel
Acknowledging emotions as genuine, even if not fully comprehended.
I know I don't understand
Admitting a lack of understanding.
If you ask you know I don't mind kneeling
Willingness to submit or comply when asked.
But when my knees hurt I like to stand
Expressing a preference for standing despite potential discomfort.
Instinct is the common lawyer
Suggesting that instinct serves as a reliable guide, akin to a lawyer.
A million years won't erase
Time's inability to erase certain experiences or emotions.
Strike the chord I'm searching for
Desire to find the right note or expression, possibly in a metaphorical context.
Call it a committed race
Referring to a dedicated pursuit or competition.
No matter how I shake my fist
Recognizing futility in resisting something despite frustration.
I know I can't resist it
Accepting one's inability to resist despite the desire to do so.
No matter how you shake your fist
Highlighting the universal struggle against irresistible forces.
You know you can't resist it
Acknowledging the inevitability of succumbing to certain influences.
See you at the barricades babe
Reiteration of the anticipation of meeting at a metaphorical barricade.
See you when the lights go low, Joe
Reiteration of anticipating the person in intense situations or low lights.
Hear you when the wheels turn round
Reiteration of being aware of the person during significant moments, like the turning of wheels.
Someday when the sky turns black
Reiteration of referencing a future ominous event when the sky turns black.
