Mr. Man
Awakening Echoes: Unveiling Societal Silence in Gov't Mule's 'Mr. Man'
Lyrics
How much more can we ignore the voices
Expressing concern about ignoring voices and the need for attention.
How much longer can we keep our h eads in the sand
Raising a question about how long we can avoid facing problems.
Can't you hear me - don't you even hear me
Calling out for attention, questioning if anyone is listening.
I'm screaming as loud as I can
Expressing desperation and urgency by screaming loudly.
Can't you hear me, Mr. Man
Directly addressing someone influential, possibly in authority (Mr. Man).
There's no concern for the people dying
Highlighting a lack of concern for people's lives.
There's more concern for keeping the upper hand
Emphasizing the priority given to maintaining power.
In their faces - we're laughing in their faces
Mocking or showing disregard for those in power, challenging their understanding.
And you still don't understand
Asserting that despite the efforts, there is a failure to comprehend the situation.
Why they hate you, Mr. Man
Exploring the reasons behind the hatred towards the addressed figure (Mr. Man).
You better get ready
Signaling a need for preparation or readiness for something significant.
I said ready
Reiterating the importance of being prepared.
Time to get ready
Emphasizing the urgency to prepare for an upcoming event or change.
Can you see that day when your world starts crumbling
Envisioning a day of crisis or downfall.
Can yous ee that day when you meet your maker again
Reflecting on the day of judgment or facing consequences.
Will he be like you - do you think he's really like you
Raising a question about the moral alignment of the addressed figure with a higher power.
You can bet your soul depends
Stressing that one's soul is at stake and depends on the alignment mentioned.
On that, Mr. Man
Reiterating the address to Mr. Man and the critical nature of the situation.
It's time to get ready
Repeating the call for readiness and preparation.
I said ready
Emphasizing the need to be ready for what is to come.
You better get ready
Reiterating the importance of being prepared.
