Struggle Unleashed: A Poetic Rebellion
Lyrics
On the storm, overkilling you
Refers to overwhelming or overpowering you in a metaphorical storm
Bursting banks just like John Dillinger
Comparing the situation to bursting banks, akin to John Dillinger's forceful actions
Torrent gushing, overspilling to
Describes a torrent overflowing and exceeding boundaries
Flush the ill out of our system
Indicates a desire to eliminate the negative aspects from the system
This machine fresh-strung and retuned
Suggests renewal and fine-tuning of a mechanism or entity
All you fascists bound to lose
Expresses a belief that authoritarian figures are destined to fail
Moth your relay then delete you
Symbolizes discarding or removing a relay or connection, possibly eliminating something harmful
Strike the match and light the fuse
Metaphorically igniting a potentially explosive situation
Marching, sporting sweat and blood-dyed
Describes physical exertion and sacrifice with dedication
Rags of wool and buried eyes
Implies deprivation and being blinded to reality
Now you cut my wings, I cannot fly
Feeling restricted or hindered, unable to achieve something
Slash my tyres, cannot ride
Facing obstacles and being immobilized
Pressed-up guts, blood, bone and muscle
Physical description of being compressed and overwhelmed
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Sense of being trapped with nowhere to seek refuge
Nothing left to do but struggle
Acceptance of the necessity to fight against adversity
Nothing left to do but
Repetition emphasizing the act of contorting or struggling
Writhe
Emphasis on the action of contorting or struggling
Writhe
Reiteration of the act of contorting or struggling
All of a sudden, southern shift
Unexpected change or shift in direction, possibly geographical or ideological
Haunting purpose in the blitz
Sense of a haunting determination or focus during intense situations
Falling forward, outstretched fist
Symbolizes moving forward with determination and strength
Full commitment to the risk
Dedication and complete involvement despite the risks
Served shaken in my screw-top vessel
Feeling emotionally stirred and shaken within
Hot head laced with soap and methanol
Metaphorical description of a volatile and agitated state of mind
Holy water, prayer of freeman
Referencing purification or cleansing through holy means
Exorcise synthetic demon
Symbolic removal or expulsion of artificial or negative influences
They lit me up like an offering
Feeling exposed or sacrificed for a cause
My beast takes off and we're on the wing
A sense of liberation and freedom, taking flight
So far away, when we used to sing
Nostalgia or reminiscence about a past time or place
So far away, where I've always been
Sense of being distanced from a familiar place or state
I take my final backward glance
Looking back for the final time at what held importance
To gaze upon all that ever mattered
Expressing gratitude and bidding farewell to significant things
Kiss my palms, I wave my thanks
Symbolic gesture of appreciation or goodbye
My time is up, I soar through stratus
Acceptance of the end and moving beyond boundaries
