Sick of It All
Rising Against the Machine: A Rebellion Anthem by Locust Grove
Lyrics
(Intro Chorus)
Intro Chorus
I've had enough, so sick of it all
The speaker is fed up and exhausted with everything
Read between the lines, or have we all gone blind
Implying that people aren't seeing the truth or reality
All across your screens, all in your feed
References the pervasive nature of information on screens and social media
Control your mind, don't come and tell me
Rejecting others' attempts to dictate their life
How to life my life
Expressing frustration at being told how to live
OHHHHH SO SICK OF IT ALL
Reiterating being extremely tired of everything
(Verse 1)
Verse 1
I don't even wanna wake up shit is so fucked I'll throw you under the bus a little tough love (tough love)
Feeling so disillusioned that they'd rather avoid waking up; ready to distance themselves even if it means being tough on others
I won't sit here and be your puppet, good luck
Refusing to be controlled or manipulated
Try and walk over me, I'll meet you out in the street I fight for what I believe
Ready to confront challenges and fight for their beliefs
Come face me and meet your maker
Challenging others to confront their consequences
(Pre-Chorus)
Pre-Chorus
It's so easy to see, we give them power to be
Highlighting how people empower those in control
We only feed the machine
Indicating that society unknowingly supports a system that perpetuates itself
I'm here to say
Asserting their stance against this system
(Chorus)
Chorus
I've had enough so sick of it all
Repeating the sentiment of being utterly fed up
Read between the lines
Encouraging a deeper understanding beyond superficial appearances
Or have we all gone blind
Questioning if everyone is blind to the truth
OHHH SO SICK OF IT ALL
Reiterating extreme dissatisfaction
(Verse 2)
Verse 2
Bury me underneath the thick smoke it's a damn joke
Metaphorically wanting to be buried under misinformation and chaos
While we're searchin' for truth they're givin ' false hope (false hope)
Pointing out the deception of false promises amidst the search for truth
Force fed lies and propaganda death note
Condemning the feeding of lies and manipulative information
Better stay in your home keep you scared of a ghost while they find a new host
Implying deliberate attempts to induce fear while manipulating events
Bodies stack from blood lust anger
Describing the consequences of unchecked aggression and violence
(Pre-Chorus)
Pre-Chorus
It's so easy to see, we give them power to be
Reiterating the unintentional empowerment given to those in control
We only feed the machine
Highlighting the cycle of feeding into a system that perpetuates itself
I'm here to say
Reasserting their stand against this system
(Chorus)
Chorus
I've had enough so sick of it all
Repeating the frustration and exhaustion
Read between the lines
Encouraging deeper scrutiny of information
Or have we all gone blind
Wondering if collective ignorance is prevalent
All across your screens
Reiterating the omnipresence of information on screens
All in your feed
Stressing the inundation of information in daily feeds
Control your mind, don't come and tell me
Rejecting external influence on personal decisions
How to live my life
Expressing frustration at others dictating their life
(Bridge)
Bridge
Are you with me now?
Asking for solidarity or agreement in their stance
Are you with me now?
Repetition, seeking confirmation or unity in their perspective
Are you with me now?
Continued appeal for support or alignment in beliefs
Are you with me now?
Seeking confirmation or affirmation of shared values
(Pre-Chorus)
Pre-Chorus
It's so easy to see, we give them power to be
Reiterating the inadvertent empowerment given to those in control
We only feed the machine
Highlighting the cycle of feeding into a system that perpetuates itself
I'm here to say
Reasserting their opposition to this system
(Chorus)
Chorus
I've had enough so sick of it all
Reiterating the overwhelming frustration and exhaustion
Read between the lines
Encouraging deeper scrutiny of information and situations
Or have we all gone blind
Questioning if collective ignorance prevails
All across your screens
Reiterating the omnipresence of information on screens
All in your feed
Emphasizing the inundation of information in daily feeds
Control your mind, don't come and tell me
Rejecting external influence on personal decisions
How to live life
Expressing frustration at others dictating their life
