They Won't Silence Us
De/Vision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know that I'm not alone
No matter what I believe in
I have the right to be wrong
I'm sick of your dark sense of mission
Have you lost your mind on the way?
You're welcome to share my opinion
But don't tell me what to say
How long can we breathe under water?
Don't wanna give it a try
Everything we took for granted
Got lost in less than no time
You never cease to amaze me
Say, how much more can you take?
Don't act as if nothing happened
When there is so much at stake
Guided by their sense of mission
They try to shut us up
They won't be victorious
No, they won't silence us
People all across the nation
All across the world
Get all up and raise your voices
And they will be heard
Guided by their sense of mission
They try to shut us up
They won't be victorious
No, they won't silence us
The song "They Won't Silence Us" by De/Vision is an anthem for those who refuse to be silenced and oppressed by those in power. The lyrics speak to the importance of standing up for one's beliefs and speaking out against injustice, even when it is difficult or unpopular. The first verse explores the idea of individuality and the right to make mistakes and hold differing opinions. It rejects the idea of blindly following someone else's mission or agenda and instead encourages free thought and expression. The second verse addresses the fragility of the world we live in and the importance of fighting for what is right, even when it seems impossible. The chorus then declares that those who try to silence us will not be victorious, and instead calls for people all around the world to raise their voices and be heard.
Overall, the song speaks to the power and resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of oppression and adversity. It is a message of hope and empowerment, encouraging listeners to stand up for what they believe in and to fight for justice and equality.

This is one seriously under-rated musician! If you came out 15 yrs ago, the ears of that generation would have eaten this band for dinner!
