Dumbfoundead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The time is tickin, the seconds are non existent, melodic rhythms, to sooth your chronic sicknesses, put aside economic differences, this is not the genesis, maybe the revelation the television showing demonic images, I am an immigrant so the abercrombie citizens wanna bottle me into a hollow prison system are you listening, your mission is, is to know what your position is, i'll be gone in 60 seconds, for political sentences, bang, pulling the trigger pulling the

Strings, is a ruling regime, a bully that fully understands what

Your doing during your sleep, curiously, keeping an eye like security, are you hearing me, what there doing is weak, sauce, underneath god, there should'nt be any middlemen benefiting off of the innocent, men and women struggling trying to get em some medicine, making minimum to diddily squat, these messages I'm riddling cause I finna get popped

Bang this message might self destruct, so if it blow up in my face will you help me up
I said bang they might come assasinate me, then tell all of yall I was just exxagerating

Bang bang I hope that it finally hits ya, and after it does know that they'll be coming to get ya

Bang bang we're shooting out bullets of truth, bang bang we're shooting out bullets of truth

Meet the quota, secret folders, they can't let the people know the, evil motives, these controllas, speak in code and decompose there weaker foes, they keep the soldiers overseas, defeat opponents, freedoms over, exactly what katrina showed us all, the oldest and the boldest with gehones, gotta step up, to the coldest global holders, gotta show the man some pressure, go toe to toe, an overthrow, go and show em the aggressor, to the poets and professors, to the soldiers and the shepards, go and get your weapons holmes, this is just a stepping stone, picket signs and megaphones, the famous and lesser known, everybody get along, can't journey on this trek alone, all the things they telling wrong, I might make a second song cause the list is hella long, the history is etched in stone, step out of your comfort zone, we're just puppets pumpin chrome, wanting something no one owns, why they tap in to our phones, and put bugs inside our homes? wut is really goin on





We have a gang of questions that haven't been answered yet, why we slangin weapons to our terrorist threats, in the last election we ain't know where are votes went, since the last depression we haven't had this much debt, while the gas investors are only seeing success, since the past few seconds its been going up cents, we got the masses guessin wondering wuts next, yall have taxed our pentions now I have none left, some slept through out these days and now your upset, but its not too late long as its before the sunsets, first the darkness will appear and then comes death, they would love for this country to have one less, you might think im crazy but it makes much sense, all I'm asking you to do is go and tell one friend, I dont care if this message blows up at the end, as long as you you've heard this at the time that it was sent

Overall Meaning

The song Bullets of Truth by Dumbfoundead is a critique of the political system in the United States, highlighting the various issues that plague society. The opening lines of the song convey a sense of urgency, with the seconds ticking away and the need to address chronic sicknesses. The lyrics denounce the economic differences, stating that this is not the genesis but maybe the revelation, insinuating that there is a need for change. The television shows demonic images, and as an immigrant, the singer is aware of the hollow prison systems that Abercrombie citizens want to bottle him into.


The song criticizes political sentences and those who pull the strings and rule, ruling with an iron hand regime. There is a call for people to understand their positions and identify their mission. There is an acknowledgment of the weak human weaknesses and the need to take action. The government agencies have secret folders and operate in code- speak, hiding their evil motives. They keep the soldiers overseas and are defeated by them, and freedoms are over. The song highlights that there is a need to step up, show the man some pressure, and overthrow to show aggressiveness. It calls on poets, professors, shepherds, and soldiers to get their weapons and go to war against the system. The song admonishes that everyone should get along, realize the history etched in stone, step out of their comfort zones, and demand answers to the unanswered questions about the system.


Line by Line Meaning

The time is tickin, the seconds are non existent, melodic rhythms, to sooth your chronic sicknesses, put aside economic differences, this is not the genesis, maybe the revelation the television showing demonic images
Time is fleeting and rhythmic music can help soothe your ongoing struggles. Let's come together and recognize that what we see on TV is not always reality.


I am an immigrant so the abercrombie citizens wanna bottle me into a hollow prison system are you listening, your mission is, is to know what your position is, i'll be gone in 60 seconds, for political sentences, bang, pulling the trigger pulling the Strings, is a ruling regime, a bully that fully understands what Your doing during your sleep, curiously, keeping an eye like security, are you hearing me, what there doing is weak, sauce
As an immigrant, I've seen firsthand how the system can be rigged against certain groups. It's up to each of us to know where we stand and take action. Those in power are manipulating us and watching our every move, all while their actions are weak and pathetic.


Underneath god, there should'nt be any middlemen benefiting off of the innocent, men and women struggling trying to get em some medicine, making minimum to diddily squat, these messages I'm riddling cause I finna get popped
We should all be working towards a world where no one profits off of the suffering of others. It's time for change and I know that speaking up could put a target on my back.


Bang this message might self destruct, so if it blow up in my face will you help me up
This message might have negative consequences for me, but will you be there to help me if it does?


I said bang they might come assasinate me, then tell all of yall I was just exxagerating
I fear for my life and know that those in power might try to silence me by making it seem like I was just exaggerating.


Bang bang I hope that it finally hits ya, and after it does know that they'll be coming to get ya
I hope this message resonates with you and opens your eyes to the dangers we're facing. But beware - speaking out comes with risks.


Meet the quota, secret folders, they can't let the people know the, evil motives, these controllas, speak in code and decompose there weaker foes, they keep the soldiers overseas, defeat opponents, freedoms over, exactly what katrina showed us all, the oldest and the boldest with gehones, gotta step up, to the coldest global holders, gotta show the man some pressure
Those in power have ulterior motives and will do everything they can to keep us in the dark. They speak in code and destroy anyone who opposes them. It's time for us to stand up and put pressure on those in charge.


all the things they telling wrong, I might make a second song cause the list is hella long, the history is etched in stone, step out of your comfort zone, we're just puppets pumpin chrome, wanting something no one owns, why they tap in to our phones, and put bugs inside our homes? wut is really goin on
The lies and deceit run deep, and it's time to shed light on all the wrongs being committed. It might take multiple messages, but the truth needs to be heard. We need to break free from our routines and question what's really happening around us - why are we being spied on and manipulated?


We have a gang of questions that haven't been answered yet, why we slangin weapons to our terrorist threats, in the last election we ain't know where are votes went, since the last depression we haven't had this much debt, while the gas investors are only seeing success, since the past few seconds its been going up cents, we got the masses guessin wondering wuts next, yall have taxed our pentions now I have none left, some slept through out these days and now your upset, but its not too late long as its before the sunsets
There are so many unanswered questions, like why we continue to arm those who pose a threat to us. We've been kept in the dark about where our votes go and the national debt continues to climb. Meanwhile, gas investors are profiting while the average person struggles. It's time to wake up and take action before it's too late.


first the darkness will appear and then comes death, they would love for this country to have one less, you might think im crazy but it makes much sense, all I'm asking you to do is go and tell one friend, I dont care if this message blows up at the end, as long as you you've heard this at the time that it was sent
If we don't act now and expose the powers that be, there will be dire consequences. They want to keep us in the dark and limit the number of voices speaking out. But if we each spread the message to one person, change can happen. It doesn't matter if this message blows up or not, as long as we hear it and take action.
