Antischism Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
all the voices wispering, held up my fear
bound up in chains,doin what their told
wanting to escape from feeling so all alone
SCREAM!!!!!!!!
i have stopped from your scream
?
?
stick together we have won
we never stop what we've begun
we have gone to take your dream
we will make it a reality
locked up inside of cages took so many years
all the voices wispering, held up my fear
bound up in chains,doin what their told
wanting to escape from feeling so all alone
SCREAM!!!!!!!!
i have stopped from your scream
i have stopped to be seen
?
?
stick together we have won
we never stop what we've begun
we have gone to take your dream
we will make it a reality
fighting in a world with so much hate
you try to stop but it seems to late
to late to rise above you rise above your lies and hatered
can you hear the crying?
can you hear the screams?
can you hear see the fighting?
its not ass bad as it seems
can you hear the crying?
can you hear the screams?
can you hear see the fighting?
its not ass bad as it seems
fighting in a world with so much hate
you try to stop but it seems to late
to late to rise above you rise above your lies and hatered
can you hear the crying?
can you hear the screams?
can you hear see the fighting?
its not ass bad as it seems
The lyrics to Antischism's song "Scream" seem to be about breaking free from a life filled with fear, oppression, and feeling alone. The singer is locked inside cages (literal or figurative), and the years have been filled with whispers that have only fueled their fear. They are bound up in chains and doing what they're told, but they want to escape their situation. The singer then screams, which is likely a symbol of defiance and a call to action to others who are also trapped. The lines “i have stopped from your scream, i have stopped to be seen” may be a call to be heard and a decision not to be silenced anymore.
The song speaks to the need to rise above hatred and lies, even if it seems impossible to do so in a world filled with so much hate. There is still crying, screaming, and fighting but the ending lines emphasize that things are not as bad as they seem. It may be a reminder to keep fighting through tough times because there is hope for a better future.
Overall, the lyrics of "Scream" are thought-provoking and may inspire listeners to challenge authority and break free from their own cages.

Wow! I heard this song back in the day on the Pat Duncan show on WFMU. It blew me away. He’d play it often. Timeless song. Sounds just as good now as it did back then.

Time has come for us to scream
Time has come for us to be seen
Time has come to make a scene...
It took a lot of acid trips to figure out the words to this song....
