Brooks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're Rebels On The Run,
Together We Can Start A Riot,
Been Waiting For This Day,
We're Reckless And Insane,
Together We Can Start A Riot.
Together We Can Start A Riot.
Together We Can Start A Riot.
Together We Can Start A Riot.
We Only Just Begun,
We're Rebels On The Run,
Together We Can Start A Riot,
Been Waiting For This Day,
We're Reckless And Insane,
Together We Collide The Fire.
We Only Just Begun,
We're Rebels On The Run,
Together We Can Start A Riot,
Been Waiting For This Day,
We're Reckless And Insane,
Together We Collide The Fire.
Together We Can Start A Riot.
Together We Can Start A Riot.
Together We Can Start A Riot.
We Only Just Begun,
We're Rebels On The Run,
Together We Can Start A Riot,
Been Waiting For This Day,
We're Reckless And Insane,
Together We Collide The Fire.
In Brooks Jonas Aden's song "Riot," the lyrics describe the idea of rebelliousness and the desire to start a movement. The repetition of "We Only Just Begun, We're Rebels On The Run" emphasizes the idea that this is just the beginning of something bigger. The use of "riot" in the chorus is not meant in a violent way, but rather a call for change and a refusal to conform.
The lyrics suggest that the individuals involved are impatient and are tired of waiting for change. They are described as "reckless and insane," meaning they are willing to take risks and have a sense of impulsivity. Again, this emphasizes the idea that there is a sense of urgency, and the need for immediate action, rather than a passive approach.
Overall, the song encourages individuals to come together and start a movement that will cause a both literal and figurative "riot" to bring about the change they desire.
