Uniform
D - sailors Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The fat kid´s too fat, the black guy´s too black
Green light turns to red, it´s only in your head.
Broke down fascists and hypocrites
Spreading thoughts in our minds
To cage ourselves and catch our souls
That once brought up to the light

Turn to lies and ho´s

Too young and too fast and too runny-nosed
Or too old and too comatose

Uniform - We don´t want uniformity

The white guy´s too white, and the thin girl´s too thin
TV-commercial-media, so point the blame on them
Part-time hookers and porno pimps have the power to decide
About our lasting highs and lows that once brought up to the light

Turn to lies and ho´s
Too young and too fast and too runny-nosed
Or too old and too comatose

Thought control - oppression - slavery -uniformity -
censorship - government's violence - We don´t want uniformity

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of D-Sailors' song "Uniform" are a personification of societal oppression and uniformity. The song is essentially a critique of the society's norms that put people into categories based on their colour, size, age and race, and it seems to be an anti-establishment anthem.

The lyrics mention several things that reinforce the idea of uniformity like media, government, thought control, oppression, censorship, and slavery. The white guy is too white, the fat kid is too fat, the black guy is too black, and the thin girl is too thin. The song emphasizes that nobody is exempt from society's demands to fit into a certain mould.

The lyrics make references to "Broke down fascists and hypocrites" who are "spreading thoughts in our minds," which could be interpreted as usually getting influenced by toxic societal norms which leads to being mentally shackled to the idea of uniformity. The lyrics suggest not wanting uniformity, and the chorus "Uniform - We don´t want uniformity" sums it all up in a few words.

Overall, the song reflects society's growing need to break free from the binds of conformity and uniformity. It encourages us to resist the pressure of societal structures and norms that limit our potential, and it empowers us to embrace our uniqueness and individuality.
