Made of Pearls
Revolution in Pearls: Sons of Rice Unveil a World Made of Change
Lyrics
I'm from the part of the city that nobody's from
I come from an overlooked part of the city.
Skyscrapers and everybody's gone
Tall buildings, and everyone has left.
Insane everybody's hiding under fun
People are acting irrationally, seeking refuge in entertainment.
In here everybody's got a loaded gun
Within this place, everyone is armed.
Made of flesh and empty opinions
Human, with shallow and widespread beliefs.
That make a cloud so thick it can cover the sun
Opinions that form a dense cloud, obscuring the truth.
Take the blame, it's in vain, you can go on a run
Accepting blame is pointless; fleeing is an option.
There's no escape, stop, pity party's won
No escape, and the self-pitying celebration is futile.
Have you ever seen a one-man revolution?
An individual's attempt to bring about significant change.
Take all the blows and fall to make us all as one
Enduring hardships for the collective unity.
"Have you seen one-man kill a revolution?"
Questioning the effectiveness of a single person in instigating change.
I've seen one-man kill a revolution
Acknowledging the negative impact of an individual on a revolution.
Long neck, stone heart with pets that hunt
Describing someone with a detached demeanor and predatory companions.
Try and leave and you'll be living a life on the run
Leaving this environment leads to a life of constant evasion.
So we can step aside or we can start a war
Choosing between passivity and conflict.
We can form a pearl
Formation of something precious.
I'll be forming an army made of pearls
Building an army symbolized by pearls.
I'll be forming an army made of pearls
Reiterating the formation of a pearl army.
Made of pearls, made of birds
Describing the army composition as diverse and valuable.
Made of boys and made of girls
Comprising both genders and various individuals.
Make an army made of pearls
Emphasizing the formation of a pearl army.
Tell McCartney we've made it worse
Sarcastically mentioning making things worse, referencing Paul McCartney.
Fuck the sad song, fuck the parties
Rejecting sad songs, social gatherings, and authority.
Fuck the police, grab your car keys
Disregarding law enforcement; urging rebellion.
Still the bodies, hit the coast
Removing obstacles to reach a goal.
So fuck your party, I've got a war
Rejecting conventional celebrations for a more meaningful cause.
Surrounded by ones living definitely
Being surrounded by individuals living without purpose.
Evidently, they don't live intently
Observing a lack of passion in their existence.
Even if I speak slow, they don't comprehend me
Even if speaking slowly, others fail to understand.
They're all pintos and then I'm a Bentley
Comparing oneself to luxury in a world of mediocrity.
When they're sleeping, I'm up early
Starting the day early, in contrast to others' habits.
Every day up at 5:30
A disciplined routine, waking up at 5:30.
Cause I know that the east is for me
Choosing the eastern direction, symbolizing a personal path.
We're forming an army
Continuing to build a united force.
Army of sons with a twirly
An army characterized by unique identities and lightheartedness.
Identity and it's pearly
Identity formation as valuable as a pearl.
Do you know how a pearl is formed?
Posing a rhetorical question about the process of pearl formation.
Like a diamond, pressure is war
Comparing the pressure of life to the formation of pearls.
War makes pearls, pearls make change
Conflict leads to positive change, symbolized by pearls.
Change makes money and money makes change
Highlighting the interplay between change and financial gain.
Exchange your money for my change
Suggesting a transaction of ideas or perspectives.
With no change, there's no change
Emphasizing the importance of change for progress.
