D.O.A. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why did you think they would?
This revolution starts right here and now
And I'm in your neighborhood
It wouldn't serve you well to get the nerve to tell me face to face
Assassinate my name, initiate the same from place to place
Alas the stage is set
Revenge!, remorse?, regret?
Fuck you, fuck off and die
Bet you made a fortune in fucking lies
I'ts how you sell yourself
Best proceed with caution
Don't close your eyes
It's to protect your health
Hated with a passion
Yeah - this is you and I know you talk you're shit
Now I'm on a quest to snuff you fuckin' out cause I'm so sick of it
We're no what it's about
So let the truth come out
Deny, deny, deny
Fuck you, fuck off and die
The lyrics to the song "OO-EE-OO-EE-OO-AH-AH" by D.O.A are powerful and contain messages about standing up for oneself in the face of adversity, calling out lies and hypocrisy, and seeking justice. The opening line, "your empty words don't bring me down, why did you think they would?" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is not afraid to stand up for themselves, and is unimpressed by the words of their opponent. They go on to say that the revolution starts now, and they are ready to take action.
The next few lines are directed at their opponent directly, with a warning that they should not speak badly about the singer or they will face consequences. The line "assassinate my name, initiate the same from place to place" suggest that the opponent is trying to damage the singer's reputation, but the singer is not afraid to fight back. The stage is set, and the singer wonders whether they will feel remorse for their actions, or seek revenge.
The chorus is a powerful call to action, with the singer denying the lies that have been spoken about them, and telling their opponent to "fuck off and die." The singer is tired of the lies and hypocrisy, and is on a mission to set the record straight. The line "so let the truth come out" suggests that the singer is seeking justice and transparency, and is not afraid to take on their opponent, no matter how powerful they may seem.
