Frontline
Engel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
that you still want to be oblivious.
It's such a comedy
that you don't want an autopsy.
Take the easy way
and live like you've never been told.
Better to know
than to blindly follow:
Look for me, I'll be here.
come with me
I'll show you what's been wrong here.
Here on the frontline!
I'll be here!
Laughed at, spat on and ridiculed,
That is the peasant's way
Work for you... Work for you!
Tell him how to think.
Believe the words, don't question at all.
Rise and Shine.
A new day just like yesterday
Look for me, I'll be here.
come with me
I'll show you what's been wrong here.
Here on the frontline!
I'll be here!
The lyrics of Engel's song Frontline highlights the importance of being aware of what's happening around us instead of turning a blind eye to the events. The opening lines state that it is ridiculous to remain oblivious to the surroundings when there is so much to learn and understand. The song emphasizes how easy it is to go with the flow and not care about what is happening in the world today. The idea that living blindly is akin to being a part of a comedy is a reminder to the listener that ignorance is not bliss. The artist believes that it is better to know about the truth and not blindly follow what society dictates.
The chorus of the song asks the listener to join the artist on the frontline so that they can uncover the truth together. The artist promises that they will be there to guide the way and show what's been wrong. The song also talks about how people are made fun of when they question the status quo or try to express their opinions. The song talks about how society conditions individuals to go with the flow and not question anything, which is regarded as being the peasant's way. The song stresses the need to take the initiative and work towards bringing about change.
Overall, Engel's song Frontline is a powerful reminder of the importance of staying aware and not falling into the trap of remaining ignorant. The song encourages individuals to question the status quo and not blindly follow the masses. It is about the need to take a stand and be a part of the movement that triggers change.
