Rage
Agnostic Front Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look at me, look at you, nothing to say
Everything I've owned, you've taken away
All I ever wanted was to get by
Now you wanna know the reason why

Don't believe in fate, I believe in bad luck
All the stories told are so trumped up
Wanna know why i'm so fucked up
Now you wanna know the reason why?

RAGE

RAGE

Every waking moment has this strain on me
Can't unlock these secrets if I have no key
When I go blow it up you'll know it's my time
Now you wanna know the reason why?

Don't believe in fate, I believe in bad luck
All the stories told are so trumped up
Wanna know why i'm so fucked up
Now you wanna know the reason why?





RAGE

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Agnostic Front's song "Rage" seem to come from a place of frustration and anger towards a person or entity that has taken everything the singer has owned away from them. The opening lines of the song, "Look at me, look at you, nothing to say/ Everything I've owned, you've taken away," set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer then goes on to express their desire to just get by in life, but now feels like they are being interrogated about why they are so "fucked up."


The chorus of "Rage" is a repeated cry of the word "rage," emphasizing the intense emotions the singer is feeling. The verse "Every waking moment has this strain on me/ Can't unlock these secrets if I have no key/ When I go blow it up you'll know it's my time/ Now you wanna know the reason why?" shows a sense of desperation and a feeling of being trapped within the situation they find themselves in.


The lyrics suggest a lack of control over their own life, with references to bad luck and an inability to unlock secrets. The repeated question of "now you wanna know the reason why?" seems to be directed towards the person or entity responsible for their troubles. It's unclear if the singer is threatening violence as a means of revenge or if they are simply expressing their emotions, but the intense chorus of "rage" suggests that they are capable of extreme actions.


Overall, "Rage" is a powerful expression of frustration, anger, and a desire for control in one's own life.
