Adidas Is In All Commercial feat. Justice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Paralyzed and possessed by crusaders deceased
Lost to the sirens that call from the turbulent tide
Bound by the science that lives on the lips of the wise
The beating of a million drums
The fire of a million guns
The mother of a million sons
The beating of a million drums
The fire of a million guns
The mother of a million sons
Civilization
Stand aside as they bow to the call of the beast
Tantalized and seduced by the demons released
Cast to the ground by the whim of the merciless sky
Born to the fire that burns in the all-seeing eye
The beating of a million drums
The fire of a million guns
The mother of a million sons
Civilization
The beating of a million drums
The fire of a million guns
The mother of a million sons
Civilization
The beating of a million drums
The fire of a million guns
The mother of a million sons
Civilization
The beating of a million drums
The fire of a million guns
The mother of a million sons
Civilization
The beating of a million drums
The fire of a million guns
The mother of a million sons
Civilization
The lyrics to Adidas Is In All Commercial feat. Justice's song Civilization paint a vivid picture of humanity being guided by external and irresistible forces. The opening lines, "Stand in line as we march to the drums of the east / Paralyzed and possessed by crusaders deceased" suggest a loss of agency and individuality as people are swept up in the momentum of history. The next two lines, "Lost to the sirens that call from the turbulent tide / Bound by the science that lives on the lips of the wise" continue this theme, portraying humanity as being influenced and controlled by both nature and culture.
The repeated chorus of the song, "The beating of a million drums / The fire of a million guns / The mother of a million sons / Civilization" reinforces this image of humanity being carried along by powerful and destructive forces. The second verse, "Stand aside as they bow to the call of the beast / Tantalized and seduced by the demons released / Cast to the ground by the whim of the merciless sky / Born to the fire that burns in the all-seeing eye" further illustrates this idea, suggesting that humanity is both attracted to and destroyed by the very things that compel them.
Overall, the lyrics to Civilization suggest a lack of control or agency on the part of humanity, who are swept along by powerful and irresistible forces. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the idea of a million drums beating, a million guns firing, and a million sons being born into this chaotic and violent world.
