Defiance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shut your mouth and get use to it
There's still no future
And there's still no hope
And any kind of change seems like a fucking joke
How long are we going to sit back and take their shit
And why the fucking fuck
Do we gotta live like this?
And when the fuck are we going to realize?
There gotta be
There's gotta be another way
For me and you to live
But I'm afraid we ain't got no time
There ain't no time
When were fighting each other
Rob,rape, torturing, and killing one another
They sit back and laugh
And we all remain divided
Any kind of resistance
Or revolution has now subsided
There gotta be
There's gotta be another way
But human kind keeps proving everyday
That we ain't got no fucking time
There ain't no time for human kind
Your lust for domination leaves you all so blind
What's it gonna take for you to open your eyes
And what's it gonna take
For you to finally realize
There's gotta be
There's gotta be another way
For me and you to live but I'm afraid
We're all running out of time
The lyrics of Defiance's (Us) song, "No Time," convey a feeling of hopelessness and despair about the current state of society. The opening lines suggest frustration and exasperation with the current state of affairs, as the singer questions why they have to live in such a world. The lines that follow paint a picture of a bleak future with no hope for change. The repetition of "there's still no future, and there's still no hope" emphasizes the enormity of the problem.
The next stanza takes on a slightly different tone as the singer shifts from railing against "them" to self-reflection. The line "there's gotta be another way" represents a glimmer of hope and suggests a possible route to alter the course. However, the singer is not optimistic about this change coming from within the human race itself, as the following stanza reflects on how we are too busy fighting amongst ourselves to realize that there is a common enemy, and that resistance or revolution has now subsided.
Overall, Defiance's song "No Time" presents a bleak and despairing view of society that feels fitting for a punk song. In its biting critique of society's ills, it offers a call to action, urging listeners to mobilize for change.

What have we got? We ain't for shit
We have nothing and we are worthless
Shut your mouth and get use to it
Be quiet and accept our situation
There's still no future
We have no prospects for a better future
And there's still no hope
We have no hope for change or improvement
And any kind of change seems like a fucking joke
We don't believe any change will actually happen
How long are we going to sit back and take their shit
Why do we keep enduring the suffering inflicted upon us
And why the fucking fuck
Do we gotta live like this?
We are questioning our miserable living conditions
What's it going to take for us to open our eyes
And when the fuck are we going to realize?
We need to be aware of our situation and take action before it's too late
There gotta be
There's gotta be another way
For me and you to live
But I'm afraid we ain't got no time
We hope for an alternative but time is running out
There ain't no time
When were fighting each other
Rob,rape, torturing, and killing one another
We are losing time while we engage in destructive behavior
They sit back and laugh
And we all remain divided
Any kind of resistance
Or revolution has now subsided
The oppressors mock us while we fail to unite and rise up against them
There ain't no time for human kind
Your lust for domination leaves you all so blind
Humanity has no time left due to their desire for power and control
What's it gonna take for you to open your eyes
And what's it gonna take
For you to finally realize
We ask the oppressors to see the damage they are causing and acknowledge the need for change
We're all running out of time
We have little time left to make significant changes
