The lyrics in F.T Island's song Revolution talk about feeling trapped and suffocated in a toxic relationship. The high heels mentioned in the first line represent the fragility of the situation and not being able to handle the weight of the dying dream. The lover's icy gaze inflicts torture and too much calculation in the relationship. The singer can't breathe, and they are caught up in a situation where they can't stop themselves from falling, even if they want to resist. They feel controlled by the devil, and they want to be free, to revolutionize and leave behind everything that holds them back, including the feeling of unsafety and suffocation that comes with happiness.
The singer desires freedom, even if it feels like they will suffocate without the comfort of what once made them happy. They don't want to turn back, and they want someone to let them free. The overall theme of the song is rebellion against what holds someone back and the need for revolution to be truly free. The lyrics are emotional and provide a window into the pain of being trapped in a relationship that is toxic, calculating, and not fulfilling.
