After the Eulogy

Rise

Written signed off in the obituary
What happened to us
Where's your anger
Where's your fucking rage
Watered down senses lost
Lazy privileged denial and self gratified
A tradition passed down to our blood stained hands

Give in
Give up
Rise

Contented to lie in our boring vomit
Suggesting arrangements while others are dying

Stand up
Fight back

How many starving millions have to die on our front doorsteps
How many dying millions have to crawl to our front doorsteps
Where' your anger
Where's your fucking rage
Watered down senses lost
Where's your anger
Where's your fucking rage
Content and corrupted contrived and disgusting
Dig a hole it's all over
Forget the words and good intentions
Unless we rise




Tear it down
Rise

Overall Meaning

The song "After the Eulogy" by BoySetsFire is a commentary on the state of society and people's general apathy towards pressing and relevant issues. The lyrics suggest that people are becoming increasingly desensitized to the chaos and turmoil happening around them, and that they are content to remain idle and compliant in the face of oppression and injustice. The chorus, "Give in, give up, rise," encourages listeners to reject these feelings of resignation and to fight back against the status quo.


The lyrics also highlight the hypocrisy of those in power, who claim to care about issues such as hunger and poverty but do little to address them. This is shown in lines such as "Contented to lie in our boring vomit, suggesting arrangements while others are dying." The song demands that people start to take action, and that they rise up against the corruption and complacency that is holding them back.


Overall, "After the Eulogy" is a powerful call to action, urging listeners to stop being passive and to start taking responsibility for creating a better world. The lyrics are confrontational and challenging, and the song as a whole represents a rallying cry for those who are willing to stand up and fight for what they believe in.
