All in Your Rows
Reflecting on Society's Patterns
Lyrics
So it's stars and crosses
Stars and crosses may symbolize various beliefs or conflicts, setting the stage for the themes of the lyrics.
Reasoning for losses
Reflecting on reasons for losses, possibly in life or personal experiences.
You learn right from wrong
Learning the difference between right and wrong, a fundamental moral lesson.
Then you write the book yourself
Taking personal responsibility by writing one's own life story or making decisions.
Right the wrongs you know,
Correcting mistakes and making amends for wrongdoing.
But then you're all in your rows
Repetition of being "all in your rows" suggests a conformity or order, possibly societal expectations.
All in your rows
-All in your row-oh-ohs
-All in your rows
-All in your row-oh-ohs
-Domination fading with war-torn tradition
Domination fading amidst the impact of war-torn tradition, implying a shift in power dynamics.
Picking holes in holy
Critiquing religious practices or beliefs, finding faults in the sacred.
And in blinkered vision
Highlighting narrow or limited perspectives that hinder understanding.
You left us standing with no understanding
Feeling abandoned without comprehension, possibly due to a lack of empathy or communication.
There's no give
Emphasizing a lack of compromise or flexibility, leading to a standstill.
There's no give
-And then you're all in your rows
Reiteration of being "all in your rows," reinforcing the theme of conformity or societal expectations.
All in your rows
-All in your row-oh-ohs
-All in your rows
-All in your row-oh-ohs
-City-scape and country-side
Contrasting urban and rural landscapes, possibly commenting on societal divisions.
We've got local boys, they're going nationwide
Local individuals gaining broader recognition or influence.
So here's your church and here's your steeple
Introducing elements of religion and protection, possibly addressing closed-mindedness.
And you're locking your doors to keep in all the people
Securing oneself by isolating from the diversity of people outside.
Let them go
An invitation to let go of restrictive norms or traditions.
