Mutiny
A Brand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dreams to pieces
With this ultra ultra ultra violence
Can somebody explain
Why the hell we got so mean
Why the hell we have to put the blame upon each other
Beats me
There's no lack of fate
I assure you x3
After all the trouble we've been through
Girl you no as well what we're headin' to
And we never meant to do you no harm
Well who needs opinions?
I got one, you got one, everybody's got one
And we never meant to do any harm
Bridge
Chorus:
After all this time dreams to pieces, you've got to release it emotional mutiny
After all this time trying to make up we're heading for a brake up emotional mutiny
People x2 do change x2 over night x2 and you and I x2 are 2 of a kind x2
While we never meant to do any harm
Chorus
The song "Mutiny" by A Brand reflects on the aftermath of a relationship that has gone sour. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and confusion, as the singer tries to make sense of what went wrong. The opening lines "After all this time, dreams to pieces, with this ultra ultra ultra violence" suggest that the relationship has been ruined by some extreme event or action. The use of the word "ultra" three times adds emphasis, making the violence seem all-encompassing.
The singer then questions why things had to become so bitter, why blame had to be placed on each other. The line "beats me" implies that the singer doesn't have the answers, which only adds to the sense of confusion. The bridge "there's no lack of fate, I assure you" implies that perhaps the situation was always going to end badly, as if it was fate.
The chorus "after all this time dreams to pieces, you've got to release it emotional mutiny" suggests that the singer is encouraging their former partner to let go of the pain and move on. However, it's clear that this is easier said than done, as the couple is "heading for a break-up emotional mutiny". The final verse acknowledges that people change unexpectedly and the once harmonious pairing of the couple is no more. Despite this, the lyric "and we never meant to do any harm" suggests that the singer still cares for their former partner and wishes things had turned out differently.
Line by Line Meaning
After all this time
Despite the long duration of our interaction
Dreams to pieces
Our aspirations have been shattered
With this ultra ultra ultra violence
Our actions have been excessively forceful and aggressive
Can somebody explain
Could anyone provide an explanation
Why the hell we got so mean
How did we become so cruel towards each other
Why the hell we have to put the blame upon each other
Why do we feel the need to accuse and fault one another
Beats me
I don't know
There's no lack of fate
Destiny is not absent
I assure you x3
I promise you
After all the trouble we've been through
Despite all the difficulties we've faced
Girl you no as well what we're headin' to
You are aware of where we are going
And we never meant to do you no harm
We had no intention of causing you any pain
Well who needs opinions?
Why bother with different views
I got one, you got one, everybody's got one
Everyone has their own perspective
And we never meant to do any harm
We had no desire to cause any damage
People x2 do change x2 over night x2 and you and I x2 are 2 of a kind x2
Individuals are capable of swift transformations and we share similarities
After all this time dreams to pieces, you've got to release it emotional mutiny
Our shattered desires must be let go of and we must rebel against our own emotions
After all this time trying to make up we're heading for a brake up emotional mutiny
Despite attempting to reconcile for so long, we are now heading towards a separation filled with emotional unrest
