Advocate Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This disease has hardened within our cast and well start to itch
It awoke with twitching legs that burst an inch to take a mile
As knuckles drag and thumbs oppose
The product becomes the process
It will itch and we will scratch
And we will scratch ourselves extinct
Our parts wear out not unlike machines
We'll lie twitching in our graves

A single revolution without traction and we'll all rot as the text.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Advocate's song "Revolver" describe a disease that has hardened within our society, constantly causing an itch that we cannot resist scratching. The disease is a metaphor for the way our culture has become entrapped in a cycle of consumerism and materialism. The line "our parts wear out not unlike machines" highlights how we are encouraged to constantly consume and replace items, just as a machine becomes obsolete and must be replaced. The repetition of the phrase "we will scratch ourselves extinct" emphasizes the destructive nature of this cycle, as we continue to consume and discard without regard for the consequences.

The final lines of the song, "A single revolution without traction and we'll all rot as the text," suggest that a change in our behavior is necessary to break this cycle. Without this change, we will continue to decay and deteriorate as a society. The use of the word "revolution" implies that a significant shift in our thinking is needed, rather than just small changes.

Line by Line Meaning

This disease has hardened within our cast and well start to itch
Our society has been infected with a destructive disease that has become deeply embedded within us and is causing great discomfort.

It awoke with twitching legs that burst an inch to take a mile
The disease has started to manifest itself in small ways at first, but it has rapidly spread and is now taking over our lives.

As knuckles drag and thumbs oppose
We are fighting against ourselves and our own instincts, causing immense turmoil.

The product becomes the process
We have lost sight of the bigger picture and are solely focused on the immediate outcome, regardless of the consequences it may have.

It will itch and we will scratch
The disease will continue to cause us discomfort and we will compulsively try to alleviate it.

And we will scratch ourselves extinct
Our efforts to alleviate our discomfort will ultimately lead to our downfall.

Our parts wear out not unlike machines
Just like how machines eventually wear out, our bodies will also deteriorate over time due to the strain placed on them.

We'll lie twitching in our graves
Our bodies will continue to suffer even after death due to the toll that the disease has taken on them.

A single revolution without traction and we'll all rot as the text.
Without a change in direction, we will continue down this destructive path and ultimately meet our demise.
