Rebellion
Defiant Echoes: Resisting Control
Lyrics
Yeah
Expressing agreement or acknowledgment
I'd love to see you try
Challenging someone to attempt something
I'd love to see you try
Reiteration of the challenge
Why don't you just stop it
Suggesting the person should cease their actions
You are never gonna own me
Asserting independence and resistance to control
Why don't you just drop it
Advising the person to abandon their efforts
You are never gonna know me
Emphasizing the impossibility of truly understanding the speaker
You may control them
Recognizing external control over others but not over the speaker
But you will never control me
Reiterating the theme of personal autonomy
I do what I want and
Declaring the speaker's freedom to act as they please
You will never ever own me
Asserting resistance to ownership by others
I've seen it happen way too many times
Observing a repeated pattern of events
I've watched so many of them fall in line
Noting the conformity of others
Now you come for me with the same lies
Responding to an attempt to deceive with disdain
Don't make me laugh I'd love to see you try
Expressing skepticism and inviting the challenge
I would rather tear everything I have to the ground
Prefering self-destruction over unwanted transformation
Than let you come and change me break me take me down
Resisting external influences that may alter the speaker
I'm not your little play thing that you keep around
Rejecting the role of a passive object in someone else's control
Until another new and shiny one is found
Highlighting the disposability in relationships
Why don't you just stop it
Repeating the advice to stop attempting ownership
You are never gonna own me
Reaffirming resistance to being owned
Why don't you just drop it
Repeating the suggestion to abandon efforts to know the speaker
You are never gonna know me
Emphasizing the impossibility of truly understanding the speaker
You may control them
Recognizing external control over others but not over the speaker
But you will never control me
Reiterating the theme of personal autonomy
I do what I want and
Declaring the speaker's freedom to act as they please
You will never ever own me
Asserting resistance to ownership by others
Na na na you don't own me
Emphatically denying ownership by another person
Na na na you don't know me
Repeating the denial of being known by another
Na na na you don't own me
Emphatically denying ownership by another person
Na na na you don't know me
Repeating the denial of being known by another
I would rather tear everything I have to the ground
Reiterating preference for self-destruction over unwanted change
Than let you come and change me break me take me down
Resisting external influences that may alter the speaker
I'm not your little play thing that you keep around
Rejecting the role of a passive object in someone else's control
Until another new and shiny one is found
Highlighting the disposability in relationships
I'd love to see you try, aye
Reiteration of the challenge with enthusiasm
I'd love to see you try, aye
Repetition of the enthusiastic challenge
I'd love to see you try, aye
-I'd love to see you try, aye
-I'd love to see it
Expressing anticipation or confidence in the challenge
