Take Control
Take Control: A Anthem of Resilience and Freedom
Lyrics
The last thing I heard was that we're coming home
The speaker's last information was about returning home.
Here we go, there you go
An expression indicating readiness or initiation of action.
Broad stripes, bright stars, they mean everything
A reference to the American flag symbolizing significant ideals or values.
We're just soldiers, toy soldiers
Comparing themselves to toy soldiers, possibly feeling controlled or manipulated.
There's no surprise to why
No surprise regarding their involvement in a certain activity.
We play the game
Engaging in the "game" or situation they're a part of.
We're at war with the world, but we're not frightened
Feeling in conflict with the world but not scared, possibly due to love.
When love is enough to keep us singing
Belief that love is sufficient for maintaining optimism or positivity.
We are gold, we are kings, we stand on mountains
Self-perception as valuable and powerful, standing firm like kings on mountains.
We unite with the voice, the voice of freedom
Joining together with the voice of freedom for unity and strength.
We are more than a number
Asserting individual importance, not just a statistic or a mere number.
Take control
An urging to take charge or have control of the situation.
White lies, they weave, they practice to deceive
References to lies that mislead, creating illusions or falsehoods.
Smoke and mirrors, smoke and mirrors
Metaphorically, deceptive tactics used, possibly in a manipulative environment.
Do what we are told, we don't ask questions
Following instructions without questioning authority figures.
We're just soldiers, toy soldiers
Reiteration of feeling controlled or manipulated like toy soldiers.
There's no surprise to why (Oh why?)
A rhetorical question highlighting repetition in certain experiences.
We're here again
Returning to a familiar situation or circumstance.
We're at war with the world, we'll keep on fighting
Continuing the struggle against the world with determination.
When love is enough to keep us winning
Belief that love is a force enabling them to succeed.
We are gold, we are kings, we stand on mountains
Reiteration of self-worth and strength, standing tall like kings.
We unite with the voice, the voice of freedom
Joining together with the voice of freedom for collective empowerment.
We are more than a number
Emphasizing individual significance beyond being just a statistic.
And we won't go down without a fight
Determined to resist and fight against challenges.
Stop telling us, stop telling us
An urging to stop dictating or controlling them.
When all of your colors run
Even when facing adversity, they'll remain steadfast.
We'll stand up and we'll keep your hopes alive
Commitment to standing up and preserving hope despite difficulties.
There's no surprise to why (Oh why?)
A rhetorical question emphasizing repetition in their situation.
We play the game
Continuing engagement or involvement in the situation they're in.
We're at war with the world, we'll keep on fighting
Persisting in the struggle against the world with determination.
When love is enough to keep us singing
Belief that love can inspire perseverance and positivity.
We are gold, we are kings, we stand on mountains
Reiteration of self-worth and resilience, standing strong like kings.
We unite with the voice, the voice of freedom
Uniting for strength with the voice of freedom.
We are more than a number
Highlighting individual importance, not just a statistic.
Take control
An urging to take command or gain control of the situation.
