Oh My God
Riotous Reflections: Unveiling Societal Struggles
Lyrics
Do you hear the shimmer of the sharpening blade?
Questioning awareness of impending danger or conflict symbolized by a sharpening blade.
Do you feel the thunder from the barricade?
Sensing the intensity and impact of a protest or resistance (thunder from the barricade).
A wave is building from below and it's gonna break
Describing the rising momentum and inevitable climax of a social movement.
Riot and ruination, I can't wait
Expressing anticipation for rebellion and destruction as a response to oppression.
I'll admit that you've done pretty well so far
Acknowledging the accomplishments of the subject but setting the stage for critique.
Did you think that you would end up where you are?
Questioning the subject's expectations and current status in light of their actions.
Do you think that you're a god now, in your fancy cars?
Criticizing the subject's arrogance and detachment, possibly due to wealth or power.
Stepping over bodies, grinning like a movie star
Accusing the subject of callous disregard for others, likening them to a movie star stepping over bodies.
Oh my god, how embarrassing for you!
Expressing disbelief and mockery at the subject's situation.
Oh my god, you really think you built that throne you look down from
Challenging the subject's claim to success, suggesting they didn't truly earn their position of authority.
To spit on everyone
Condemning the subject for using their elevated position to mistreat and demean others.
Yeah your time is gonna run out soon
Predicting the eventual downfall of the subject and their loss of influence.
And you couldn't swing a hammer if they paid you to
Highlighting the subject's incompetence or lack of practical skills.
What have you been doing since the world shut down?
Asking about the subject's actions during a significant global event (world shut down).
Counting all the cards you stole to build your house
Accusing the subject of dishonesty and unethical behavior to achieve personal gain.
Your insidious extraction won't protect you now
Indicating that the subject's deceptive strategies won't provide protection in the current circumstances.
ʼCause we're turning on the lights that you've been shooting out
Announcing a collective effort to expose and challenge the subject's manipulations.
Maybe you believe that you will always rule
Questioning the subject's belief in perpetual dominance and control.
You may think the world is all complacent fools
Dismissing the subject's perception of the world as gullible and passive.
But hunger is an engine and anger is fuel
Asserting that the consequences of hunger and anger are powerful forces against the subject.
And everybody's hungry all because of you
Blaming the subject for widespread suffering and discontent.
