D
All Gone Dead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A taste of growth, a cry of pain
Skies are raining, chemical acid rain
Political attacks, foreign lies
Shout and scream, live a dream
Bound for glory, money’s the story
Yellow leafs, oil covered streets
Time to reign, time to learn
Clench your fists, show you exist

Ticking and talking, beating on the wall
Every moment watching, clock hands fall

Separation from corporation, we must rise to resist
Separation from corporation, we must resist to exist

Capitalist, fascist, democracy, LIBERATION

The process of revolution
The process of revolution
The process of revolution
The process of revolution

Capitalist, fascist, democracy, LIBERATION

Ticking and talking, beating on the wall
Every moment watching, clock hands fall





Separation from corporation, we must rise to resist
Separation from corporation, we must resist to exist

Overall Meaning

The song D by All Gone Dead is a powerful statement against corrupt systems of power. The opening lines "A taste of growth, a cry of pain" speak to the price that we pay for progress and development – the environmental and social consequences that often go ignored. The image of "chemical acid rain" falling from the skies is a potent symbol of the damage that has been wrought by industrialization. The next lines, "Political attacks, foreign lies / Shout and scream, live a dream" encapsulate the frustration and disillusionment many people feel towards their elected officials. The dream of democracy and freedom is being sold out for money and power.


The chorus of the song, with its repetition of "Separation from corporation, we must rise to resist / Separation from corporation, we must resist to exist" is a call to action. It's a plea to break free from the chains of corporate greed and take control of our own lives. The lines "Capitalist, fascist, democracy, LIBERATION" suggest that all of these systems of government have their flaws and shortcomings. The only way to achieve true freedom and equality is through a revolution – "The process of revolution".


The final verse of the song, with its "Ticking and talking, beating on the wall / Every moment watching, clock hands fall" imagery, emphasizes the urgency of the situation. Time is running out, and we must act fast if we want to make a change.

Lyrics ~

She came without a farthing
A babe without a name
So much ado about nothing
Is what she'd try to say
So much ado, my lover
So many games we played
Through every fleeted Summer
Through every precious day

All dead, all dead
All the dreams we had
And I wonder why I still live on
All dead, all dead
And alone, I'm spared
My sweeter half instead
All dead and gone
All dead

All dead, all dead
At the rainbow's end
And still, I hear her own sweet song
All dead, all dead
Take me back again
You know my little friend's
All dead and gone

Her ways are always with me
I wander all the while
But, please, you must forgive me
I am old but still a child

All dead, all dead
But I should not grieve
In time it comes to everyone
All dead, all dead
But in hope, I breathe
Of course, I don't believe
You're dead and gone

All dead and gone.

Mixing Brian's voice with Freddie's voice is like putting glitter on diamonds.

It's precious!

Not sure that analogy works. Adding glitter to something renowned for it's sparkle - sounds Superfluous.
