Twenty Cell Revolt
Menomena Lyrics

"Twenty Cell Revolt" by Menomena is a song that seems to address the issue of people imposing their beliefs on others through force or coercion. The first verse urges those who speak for a cause to be mindful of the impact their words may have on others. The singer is reluctant to speak out in anger, preferring instead to wait until calmness can prevail. The second verse seems to address those who attempt to control others, suggesting that their time of dominance will eventually come to an end, and the power dynamic will shift.

The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, urging those who feel oppressed to stand up and fight back. The phrase "try and stop us now" suggests that the singer is tired of being oppressed and is ready to take action to claim their rights. The phrase "one day their time will come, again" suggests that the singer has suffered under oppression before, and is hopeful that things will eventually change for the better.
