Rebelution
Feinstein Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could see the future
I’d see you joining with me, so strong
The winds of rebelution
Blow 'cross the mountains and seas

Destructive powers falling
Destructive powers fall to their knees

It's a rebelution
You and me
Let love lead the way
On their knees
It's a rebelution
You and me
Let love lead the way

Black cross of heavy metal
Why follow when you can lead?
The force of rebelution
Just like the wind in the trees, so real

Destructive powers falling
Destructive powers fall to their knees

It's a rebelution
You and me
Let love lead the way
On their knees
It's a rebelution
You and me
Let love lead the way

Destructive powers fall to their knees

It's a rebelution
You and me
Let love lead the way
On their knees
It's a rebelution
You and me
Let love lead the way

On their knees
It's a rebelution
You and me
Let love lead the way
On their knees
It's a rebelution
You and me
Let love lead the way

It's a rebelution

It's a rebelution
Let love lead the way

Overall Meaning

Feinstein's song "Rebelution" is a call to action for two people to join together in a movement of rebellion and love. The lyrics paint a picture of a future where the two of them have come together, strong and united against the "destructive powers" that wield so much influence in the world. The imagery of the "winds of rebelution" blowing across mountains and seas speaks to the power and scope of this movement, while the reference to the black cross of heavy metal suggests that it is a movement that challenges the status quo and defies convention.

The chorus repeats the phrase "It's a rebelution, you and me, let love lead the way," emphasizing the importance of love as the guiding force behind this movement. The lyrics suggest that love can be a revolutionary force in its own right, capable of toppling the destructive powers that would seek to divide and conquer.
