Lyrics
These days I'm waking up with the sun
Expressing a positive start to the day, waking up early with optimism.
I threw my clock out the window
Symbolically rejecting the conventional notion of time, possibly emphasizing freedom from constraints.
Time flies and I've only just begun
Reflecting on the rapid passage of time and acknowledging the early stage of a journey.
I pound out the songs on piano
Commitment to creating music, possibly as a form of expression or resistance.
Wake up screaming I'm feeling better
Contrasting waking up screaming with an improved emotional state, suggesting resilience.
This will be a day that they don't win
Anticipation of a victorious day, resisting external pressures.
Wake up screaming I'm feeling better
Reiteration of emotional improvement, linking it to the freedom found in resisting despair.
To resist despair is my freedom
Asserting the freedom gained by resisting despair, emphasizing personal strength.
Today's the day
Repetition emphasizing the significance of the day as transformative.
Today's the day
-Today's the day
-We're all going to get free
Expressing a collective hope for freedom or liberation.
These days they're building a new prison
Reiteration of the transformative nature of the day and the collective aspiration for freedom.
They're breaking ground with an a-bomb
-Move the dirt and dead bodies all around
-That place will never be my home
-Today's the day
-Today's the day
-Today's the day
-We're all going to get free
-The cops are trusting in their tech toys
Contrasting the trust in technology by authorities with self-reliance and a willingness to face consequences.
I trust myself and I trust my boys
-They got barricades and flashing lights
-They want me to burn, I'm gonna burn up bright
-Whatever it takes to get you on your feet
Expressing a commitment to support others and face challenges together.
I'm gonna pull til my back aches
-Your place is with me out on the street
-They'll rue the day that they fucked us
-Today's the day
Repetition emphasizing the transformative nature of the day and the collective aspiration for freedom.
Today's the day
-We're all going to get free
-My mind is sharp
Affirming mental, physical, and spiritual strength, dedicating these attributes to a collective cause.
My body's strong
-My soul is at peace
-I give them all to you
-The cops are trusting in their tech toys
Reiteration of the contrast between authorities relying on technology and the speaker's trust in themselves and their community, with a commitment to burn brightly despite opposition.
I trust myself and I trust my boys
-They got barricades and flashing lights
-They want me to burn, I'm gonna burn up bright
