People not from the Punk/Hardcore scene keep telling me that our music is making them nervous and angry because it is so hectic and stressful.
A statement I understand from their point of view.
However this tune is the first one that, after listening to it 2-4 times on repeat, it really stresses me out too. Yet in a good way.
The lyrics are inspired by Johnny Cash, as you might notice in the first two lines.
Eventually it is a huge explanation on how and why we got into Punkrock.
It is a tribute to this wonderful scene and its magnificent music, explaining how and what it changed in us.
lyrics
When I was just a little boy my mother told me
" Son, find something worth to believe in and never hide or run,
Speak out and stand up for what you chose to strive (for)
and never mind these voices wanting to sway your life! "
I've found hope and faith within these words accompanied by those chords
I've found truth and strength beyond the stream inside a scene
I grew to a hopeless love loving rebell
a rebelling passive-fist, anarchist, optimist, idealist.
I've set my goals towards a world different from this.
Our core starts to roar...
Let's go all for one and one for all if we stay united we never gonna fall
Let's go one for all and all for one fellows share one corporate dream
