Revolution Song
Breaking Chains: A Revolution of Healing in Fefe Dobson's Anthem
Lyrics
In my dream I break the chains that hold this place together
In a dream, I envision breaking the societal constraints holding everything together.
But in my dream the consequences would be so much better
Despite the consequences, I believe the outcome of breaking free in my dream would be far better.
Then they are, 'cause beyond the walls that hold us here
The dream suggests that beyond the walls confining us, there are vast skies and possibilities.
Skies that stretch across the atmosphere
The reference to the atmosphere hints at a broader scope of change and liberation.
Oh a revolution is near
The speaker senses that a revolution is imminent.
In my dream I hear the echoes of the recent battle, yeah
In the dream, echoes of recent battles are heard, symbolizing past struggles.
Lost and wounded as the phoenix flies begin to settle for the night
The aftermath of the battle is described, with the phoenix flying and settling for the night, signifying renewal.
But the words you use to hurt me now
Despite hurtful words, the speaker finds a way to rise above them.
Only seem to make me jump off some how
Words that hurt somehow contribute to the determination to bring about a revolution.
Oh a revolution is now
The realization that a revolution is needed becomes clear.
And the days will get warmer, and I'll take down my armor
Anticipation of warmer days and the decision to let go of defensive measures.
Together we can fight this feeling
Expressing the idea that facing challenges together can overcome negative emotions.
And the demons that stalk us will eventually turn to dust
Belief that shared strength can conquer the demons or difficulties that haunt us.
Together we can start this healing
Unity can initiate a process of healing and overcoming obstacles.
Oh
Expression of optimism and hope for positive change.
Yea
Oh hey
-Oh hey
-Together we can start this healing
Reiteration of the potential for collective healing and positive transformation.
Oh hey
Oh hey
