Human Amplifiers
Human Amplifiers: Uniting Voices for Freedom
Lyrics
There’s a collection of people
Refers to a group of individuals
Protecting their right to assemble
Defending their right to gather together
Little sister revolution parked her car round the back
Metaphorically describes a younger generation's revolution arriving discreetly
We say big brother meet little sister
Addressing a powerful authority (symbolized as "big brother") about meeting the newer, smaller opposition (symbolized as "little sister")
Hey she’s pleased to meet you
"Little sister" is pleased to make acquaintance with "big brother"
Her freedom bells strike a dissident chord
"Her freedom bells" symbolize her beliefs or actions that go against the norm and challenge the established order
There’s steam rising from the sheets
Suggests tension or heat in the political atmosphere
Of this political city’s beat
Describes the intensity or passion in the political environment
We can’t be fooled by a man with a budget no more
Refusal to be deceived by a leader's financial resources
And as the workforce carries strong
Workforce showing resilience and determination
Eyes on the capital grow long
Focus shifting towards the center of political power, implying increased interest and attention
Why can’t you give us something we can really feel?
Desire for genuine, emotionally resonant change from the leadership
We’re held together by hope
Unity maintained through hope among the people
We’re held together by our brothers
Unity maintained among people through their shared camaraderie
We’re held together by those who fight the good fight
Unity sustained by those fighting for justice and righteousness
We’re held together by fate
Unity held together by destiny or unavoidable circumstance
We’re held together by our lovers
Unity held together by romantic relationships
We are the first that rallies all through the night
The collective is the vanguard, persisting in their cause throughout the night
We’re human amplifiers
The people are amplifiers of change and progress
Together they can’t deny us
Collectively, they cannot be ignored or dismissed
We’re human amplifiers
Reiterates the idea of people as amplifiers of change
Let’em see the whites of our eyes
Encouragement to confront opponents directly and assertively
