Lyrics
One revolution turning around,
Refers to a cycle of change or transformation.
Grace under pressure, but don't make a sound
Remaining composed under pressure while maintaining silence.
Our house is divided, but together we stand
Despite internal conflicts, unity is maintained.
One constitution goin' hand to hand
Symbolizes a struggle or conflict involving the constitution.
Here's to you, red and yellow, black and white
Celebrating diversity represented by different colors and races.
Once the daylight turned to night
A shift from optimism to pessimism, from day to night.
We're not as bold as we may seem,
Contrasts outward appearance with internal vulnerabilities.
We're looking for the American dream
Expressing a collective pursuit of the American dream.
Yes, American dream
Reiteration of the pursuit of the American dream.
Some people hiding, they do underground,
Describes individuals hiding and living covertly.
Sex as an issue in every dead town
Addresses the prevalence of sexual issues in struggling towns.
Trading in secrets and dealing in lies
Highlights the prevalence of secrets and deception.
Living is easy when you close your eyes
Suggests ignorance is bliss; easy living with closed eyes.
Chorus:
Repeating the chorus, emphasizing unity and the pursuit of the American dream.
Here's to you, red and yellow, black and white
-Join the daylight, return to night
-We're not as bold as we may seem,
-We're looking for the American dream
-(Solo)
Instrumental solo section.
chorus -
Reiteration of the chorus, emphasizing the ongoing search for the American dream.
Looking for the American dream, yeah
-Looking for the American dream, the American dream
-And we're not as bold as we may seem, American dream
-We're looking for the American dream... (to fade)
