Our Homes Are Graves
Colour Revolt Lyrics

The lyrics of Colour Revolt's song 'Our Homes Are Graves' depict the sense of desperation and acceptance. The opening line 'Our bodies have torn in places' suggests the physical and emotional pain the singer has endured. The following line 'I see a darkness, so I'll just face it' conveys the idea of accepting one's fate and the inevitability of darkness. The line 'We went to cities, the cities have faces' indicates perhaps the search for something more and how different places can have their own personas.

The lyrics further discuss how everything is constantly changing, and the singer has everything they need to survive, including things they have saved and seen. However, 'some things are better left unsaid', implying a sense of vulnerability and secrets that are not meant to be shared. The line 'We've heard the voice of God, we've got the marks on our heads' may refer to the idea of religious or spiritual experiences, and how they have left a mark on the singer. The chorus repeats the line 'Our houses turned into graves', which suggests that the singer's home has become a place of darkness and despair, leaving them trapped like they are in a grave.

In the following verse, the lyrics repeat themes such as changes and hidden secrets. The repetition of the line 'We all just face it' conveys a sense of unity and how everyone is experiencing hardships. 'Some people better left for dead' may suggest a sense of abandonment and the idea that some individuals or things must be left behind. The final line 'we all gotta change' provides a note of hope, implying that the situation can be improved if there is collective action.
