Lyrics
We are here to save your life
We are present to protect and preserve your life.
The fool, the drunk, the child and his wife
Refers to a diverse group - the foolish, the intoxicated, the child, and their spouse.
We won't let the sun go down
We won't allow despair or darkness to overcome.
We gonna chase the demons out of town
We will actively drive away negative influences or troubles.
Singing when you feel alone
Singing provides solace when feeling isolated.
Backwards through the megaphone
Expressing emotions in reverse, possibly suggesting unconventional communication.
Singing to the ones you love
Singing for both loved ones and those one wishes to distance themselves from.
And the ones you'd like to be rid of
Includes a range of relationships, emphasizing the complexity of human connections.
We are here to take the blame
Willing to bear responsibility and face criticism.
To take the taunts and if the shame
Ready to endure mockery and disgrace.
We are here to make you feel
Here to evoke emotions, even if it's unsettling or frightening.
It terrifies you, but it's real
The emotional impact is real, despite causing fear.
It will keep you up all night
It will disturb your peace during the night.
And in the flood of the morning light
In the clarity of morning, the impact is more pronounced.
Spilling out across your room
The effect spills into your personal space.
You say the words will get there soon
Belief that the message will be understood in due time.
The revolution wasn't bad
The revolution was not negative; it brought positive change.
We hit the streets with all we had
A reference to active participation, using all available resources.
A tape recording with the sound
Audio recording capturing the essence of rebellion.
Of the Velvet Underground
Symbolic mention of the influential band Velvet Underground.
A K-Way jacket torn to shreds
Physical representation of worn-out resilience, facing challenges.
And a dream inside our heads
An idealistic vision encapsulated in dreams.
And after changing everything
Despite transformations, unnoticed flaws remain.
They couldn't tell we couldn't sing
Recognition that the changes didn't erase imperfections.
After changing everything
Reiteration of the unchanged essence despite transformations.
They couldn't tell we couldn't sing
Emphasizes the persistence of inherent flaws despite efforts to transform.
They couldn't tell we couldn't sing
-And that changes everything
