Raw Power
Raw Power Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The opening line of the song "Raw Power" by Raw Power is a simple yet emphatic declaration of the band's sound and ethos. The song's lyrics express a desire for power, energy, and freedom, with lines like "I'm gonna take it to the limit, I'm gonna push it hard" conveying a sense of determination and exhilaration. The rawness and intensity of the song's instrumentation reinforce this message, with the pounding drums, distorted guitars and frenzied vocals all contributing to a sense of unbridled energy and aggression.
However, the song's message is not without its darker side. The lyrics also express a sense of nihilism and a rejection of societal norms, as the singer declares "I don't need society, I don't need nothing at all". This suggests a sense of alienation and disaffection from mainstream culture, and perhaps a desire to forge a new path outside of established structures. Overall, "Raw Power" is a powerful and uncompromising statement of intent, a call to arms for those who seek something more than the status quo.

You should listen to Punch. They were a hardcore band from San Francisco. The woman who was the vocalist really reminds me of this.

Where did you come up with this? GNR didn’t start until 1985 while Raw Power had already been around for 2 years.
