Rambo
1000 Travels of Jawaharlal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think you seem to press down the person
who is not pleased by the false charge.
[Justice is being done.]
is what you always say, but I can't believe that.
I think that you have only justified.
You look just like a Rambo.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Rambo" by 1000 Travels of Jawaharlal are a commentary on those who misuse their power and authority to oppress others. The first line talks about how the person being talked about (presumably someone in power) likes to silence those who are critical of them by making false accusations against them. The next line, "justice is being done," is something this person allegedly says to justify their actions, but the singer is skeptical of this claim. They believe that this person is only trying to justify their bad behavior.


The final line, "you look just like a Rambo," is a pointed insult. Rambo is a fictional character who is a highly skilled, highly violent soldier. The comparison suggests that this person is using their power to assert dominance and intimidate others, just like Rambo through his military prowess. The use of the name could also be seen as tongue-in-cheek, as it may seem ridiculous to compare a real-life person to a fictional character known for his over-the-top violence.
