Pushing Against Us
Resisting the Unseen Forces: Will Varley's Anthem of Resistance
Lyrics
It's in your blood
Reference to an inherent or deeply ingrained quality
It's in your bones
Emphasizing a fundamental and integral aspect
It's on the TV
Ubiquitous presence, including media influence
In your headphones
Individual experience through personal devices
It's in your mouth
Verbal expression and communication
It's happening now
An ongoing occurrence in the present moment
On Kepler 22b
Referring to a distant celestial body
On the streets of this city
Manifestation in urban environments
In the small town you grown up in
In one's familiar and hometown setting
ct the desk where you do nothing
At a place of work or routine with little impact
In the room where you've been sleeping
Emphasizing personal space and solitude
cnd It's pushing against us
External forces exerting pressure or influence
We're losing control
Losing command or dominance over circumstances
It's pushing against us
Continued external pressure leading to degradation
Turning us to soil
Transformation or decay into a lesser state
It's pushing against us
Resisting challenges and adversities over time
cll these years
Throughout the passage of time
It's pushing against us
Ongoing struggle against external forces
We're still here
Perseverance and existence despite challenges
It's in your mind
Mental presence and influence on thoughts
It's in your car
Incorporation into personal possessions and life
It's in their rubber bullets
Violent and oppressive measures in society
In every dying star
In everything that is fading or ending
It's in your brand new kitchen
In modern, domestic spaces symbolizing comfort
In the high high that you've been chasing
Pursuit of intense, euphoric experiences
In the fires when they're raging
Occurrences of chaos and unrest
In the Mountains when they're shaking
Natural upheavals and disruptions
In the ice caps when they're melting
Global environmental issues and consequences
In the cells when they're mutating
Biological changes with potential consequences
In the cells when they are dying
Referencing cellular decay and mortality
cll the wood will turn to ash
Symbolic transformation of solid to ephemeral
cll the rocks will turn to sand
Natural elements transitioning to a different state
cll the walls will turn to rubble in the end
Structures succumbing to inevitable decay
