This Is Our Voice
Unveiling Societal Anguish: "This Is Our Voice
Lyrics
Time clock counts down
Highlighting the ticking of time as events unfold
Seismic friction plates shift
Describing tectonic movements causing seismic activity
Quakes shake history books
Referencing earthquakes that impact recorded history
Cause effect Earth slips
Explaining cause and effect leading to Earth's instability
Burnt lips hot coals
Metaphorically addressing the pain of speaking out
Can't swallow wolf impostor
Expressing difficulty in accepting deceit or betrayal
(Melted down!)
Emphasizing a drastic change or transformation
The people
Referring to the collective voice of the people
Have spoken
Indicating that the people have expressed their opinions
Our verdict
Noting a verdict that was unlawfully taken
Was stolen
Highlighting the theft of the collective decision
Relinquish
Encouraging the surrender of a self-constructed throne or power
Self-made throne
Symbolizing a self-made position of authority
Human spirit flash poison
Describing a poisonous flash in the human spirit
Chip toys dumb box fools talk
Depicting manipulation through media and communication devices
Oil dynasty decision maker
Pointing towards influential figures in the oil industry
Our lives chess pieces
Expressing the public as pawns in powerful games
Grease pumping green smog
Describing environmental pollution and its consequences
Step ladder Royal family
Highlighting the struggles of the common people
(broken backs!)
Emphasizing the harsh impact on the common man
Eye for an eye leaves us blind
Stressing the negative consequences of seeking revenge
Flag across the eyes
Using a flag as a metaphor for distorted vision
Leaves us blind
Reiterating the theme of impaired vision
Two hundred year struggle wrote off in the night
Mentioning the dismissal of a long struggle in a single night
Not going down without a fight
Expressing a determination to resist and fight back
We've had enough of your corporation's
Conveying discontent with corporate influence and control
Back-room deals
Referring to undisclosed agreements and manipulation
The Enrons
Mentioning a notorious company involved in financial scandals
The wars
Pointing out the negative consequences of wars
The scams
Addressing fraudulent schemes and deceitful actions
And the lies
Denouncing falsehoods and deception
This is our voice, can you feel our anger?
Declaring the collective voice of the people and their anger
It's at the boiling point
Expressing the intensity of the people's frustration
This is our voice
Reiterating that the expressed sentiments belong to the people
