We'll Have a Party
Rising Against Shadows: Unveiling Societal Struggles in 'We'll Have a Party'
Lyrics
The sun came up exposed the cloud the city put up
The sunrise reveals the pollution created by the city.
Grey mountains lost grey skies covered them up
Industrialization has obscured natural landscapes with gray clouds.
So what if we can make a million cars in one day
Raising questions about mass production of cars in a day.
Or a million bombs to blow ourself up
Raising concerns about the production of destructive weapons.
Should we call this free?
Questioning the concept of freedom amid such activities.
The answer's obvious decisions made for and against us
Highlighting decisions made for and against people.
The sun came up behind the trees on the city it looks so ugly to me
The city appears unattractive with the sunrise.
A million people a million dreams
A large population with dreams, but a lack of communication.
But not a word spoken it seems
Despite many dreams, a silence prevails.
I'll be a friend to you be a friend to me
Emphasizing mutual friendship.
The bosses learned to fool the slaves into 8 hour days
Exploring manipulation of workers through the idea of an 8-hour workday.
But do we need them or do they need us?
Raising the question of necessity between bosses and workers.
It seems like we dwell on these useless things
Reflecting on fixation on trivial matters.
Life-styles of wealth pursuit of money
Critiquing materialistic lifestyles and the pursuit of wealth.
Competition says to beat each other down for personal gain
Condemning the competitive mindset that harms individuals for personal gain.
Sorry I didn't call last night, I've got a lot of nothing taking all my time
Expressing the speaker's preoccupation with emptiness taking up time.
Motivation sometimes sinks deep in the couch cushions
Highlighting the sometimes elusive nature of motivation.
Sometimes sleep is my best friend
Sometimes finding solace in sleep.
And it hurt me when my friends transformed into my parents
The pain of friends turning into parental figures.
They don't call here anymore so it all comes down to this turn
Isolation as friends no longer communicate.
18 find life employment shut your mouth cover your eyes
Reflection on adulthood and employment.
I think we deserve a bit more than this
Expressing a desire for more in life.
Do you really think you run your life?
Questioning individual control over life.
And when all the skies turn grey and the earth rejects this mess we've made
Anticipating a grim future with environmental degradation.
And all the cities fallt ot he sea
Imagining the collapse of cities into the sea.
When every person has the means to build a life, follow their dreams
Envisioning a world where people can pursue dreams without exploitation.
And not be worked into their grave
Rejecting a life of toil leading to an early grave.
When all governments
Speculating on the downfall of governments.
And multi-million dollar corporations have been torn down
Imagining the dismantling of powerful corporations.
By commen men, when it all falls down
A vision of societal collapse orchestrated by ordinary people.
You and I sitting on the mountain side staring at the sun.
A peaceful scene of contemplation amid chaos.
