To Play Us Out
Unleashing Chaos: The Dawn Retreat's Sonic Rebellion
Lyrics
Hey
Expression of attention or greeting
Three, two, one
Countdown, building anticipation
Three, two, one
-Yeah
Confirmation or excitement
You've got a mouth full of cigarettes
Describing someone with a mouth full of cigarettes
And a heart that pumps for blood and sweat
Characterizing a person with a passionate heart
If you leave me out of this
Suggesting consequences if excluded
You might get away with it
-Because the second I enter into the room
Anticipation of being implicated in a situation
They're gonna know it was me and it'll lead 'em to you
-I've got a reputation for making the noise
Having a reputation for being loud or disruptive
Scream "more" if you're with me
Encouraging participation and setting the stage
Hit the dance floor if you're with me
-We're gonna settle the score if you're with me
-'Cause in five, four, three, two, one
Counting down to a performance or event
(Stage set, cold sweat, it's on)
-We take this thing live
Initiating a live performance, calling for lights
Hit the lights, hit the lights
-Five, four, three, two, one
Reference to a risky situation, Russian roulette
(Russian roulette, it's on)
-We're doing it live
Continuing the live performance with intensity
Hit the lights, hit the lights
-So if you're ready to go
Inviting readiness to participate
Everybody knows
Recognition of a well-known fact (smoking kills)
Smoking kills, but burning is
Suggesting an alternative dramatic way to convey seriousness
A more effective way to let them know
Emphasizing the severity of the message
You're serious
Stating the seriousness of the situation
But the second you scream out for more
Cautioning about potential consequences
You better know what you're asking for
-Me and the boys will be bringing the noise
Commitment to making noise with a group
For the next four minutes
Announcing a period of heightened activity
Get up if you're feeling this
-'Cause in five, four, three, two, one
Repeating the countdown, intensifying the atmosphere
(Stage set, cold sweat, it's on)
-We take this thing live
Emphasizing the live performance, calling for lights
Hit the lights, hit the lights
-Five, four, three, two, one
Referencing Russian roulette, maintaining intensity
(Russian roulette, it's on)
-We're doing it live
Continuing the live performance with vigor
Hit the lights, hit the lights
-Yeah oh
Expression of enthusiasm or agreement
Everybody with all you've got
Encouragement to give maximum effort
Let me hear you
Request for vocal participation
Three, two, one
Repetition of the countdown, maintaining energy
Three, two, one
-Three, two, one
-Three, two, one
Repetition of the countdown, creating anticipation
(Three, two, one)
Repetition of the countdown for emphasis
'Cause in five, four, three, two, one
Reiteration of the countdown, signaling an imminent event
(Three, two, one)
-(Three, two, one)
Repetition for emphasis
We take this thing live
Affirmation of taking the performance live
(Oh)
-Hit the lights, hit the lights
Repeating the call for lights, intensifying the live performance
Five, four, three, two, one
-We're doing it live
Affirmation of the live performance with a call for lights
Hit the lights, hit the lights
-
