My Rules
Void Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They're on the streets and in the schools
One thing I know for sure
Life can't be without structures
I'm not the hand of their tools
I'm gonna live by my rules
Why should I listen to those fools
I'm gonna live by my rules
I was raised to respect their ways
But I'm caught up in their maze
So many questions come up in me
But which one is the one to see?
I'm not the hand of their tools
I'm gonna live by my rules
Why should I listen to those fools
I'm gonna live by my rules
The lyrics to Void's song "My Rules" reflect the singer's rebellious nature towards society's expectations and rules. The first two lines of the song, "Everywhere I go I'm seeing rules, They're on the streets and in the schools," suggests that the singer is constantly surrounded by rules and regulations that society has imposed upon him. Nevertheless, despite recognizing the need for structure, the singer asserts his desire to set his own rules and live life on his own terms.
The lyrics "I'm not the hand of their tools, I'm gonna live by my rules, Why should I listen to those fools, I'm gonna live by my rules" epitomize the singer's independence and defiance towards the societal norms. The phrase "I'm not the hand of their tools" suggests that the singer refuses to be molded by society, and instead, chooses to chart his own path in life. The statement "Why should I listen to those fools" further underscores the singer's disdain for conforming to societal expectations.
However, the singer acknowledges that he was raised to respect societal rules and traditions but feels trapped in society's constricting ways, as the lyrics "I was raised to respect their ways, But I'm caught up in their maze, So many questions come up in me, But which one is the one to see?" imply.
Overall, the lyrics in Void's song "My Rules" promote individualism, personal freedom, and self-expression, and encourage listeners to embrace their uniqueness and chart their path in life without being led by external forces.

Everywhere I go I'm seeing rules
I observe the presence of rules in all aspects of life
They're on the streets and in the schools
Rules are apparent in public places and educational institutions
One thing I know for sure
I am certain that life cannot exist without structures
Life can't be without structures
Rules and structures are a necessary part of life
I'm not the hand of their tools
I am not a tool to be controlled by others
I'm gonna live by my rules
I will establish and follow my own set of rules
Why should I listen to those fools
I will not heed the advice of those I deem unintelligent or foolish
I was raised to respect their ways
I was brought up to follow the customs of others
But I'm caught up in their maze
However, I find myself entangled in their complex web of rules
So many questions come up in me
I have numerous inquiries and doubts
But which one is the one to see?
Yet, I am unsure which question to prioritize or answer

incredibly sloppy and chaotic, but somehow embodying that perfect punk ethos of sounding as if it's about to implode.
