1789
Fuzzy Vox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sound of misery
I can hear it from the basement getting louder everyday
I'm not the only one
Who says it can't go on
We've been fooled for too long, they got everything wrong
If you could take just a minute to look at what is up
Yeah I'm not sayin' that I found the right solution
But I know it's now the time for action
They started a flood
And it taste like gasoline
They're ruining the world
Just like king Louis the 16th
Hey what d'you say?
I say we need to start all over
Give me a Napoleon, give me Lanister
Hey what d'you say?
I say we gonna need to take over
Let's go back to 1789
Whenever snags appear
Tale tellers come around
They'll step into the bridge like an army of rageous men
We need to clean the house
And chase the rats away
It's the only way I see to restore the country's pride
If you could take just a minute to look at what is up
Yeah you would then realize they're all messin' up
Yeah I'm not sayin' that I found the right solution
But I know it's now the time for action
They started a flood
And it taste like gasoline
They're ruining the world
Just like king Louis the 16th
Hey what d'you say?
I say we need to start all over
Give me a Napoleon, give me Lanister
Hey what d'you say?
I say we gonna need to take over
Let's go back to 1789
The lyrics of Fuzzy Vox's song "1789" express dissatisfaction with the current state of the world and a call for action in order to bring about change. The first verse describes the growing sound of misery, which is becoming louder every day. The singer acknowledges that he is not the only one who feels this way, and believes that things cannot continue as they are. He feels that society has been fooled for too long and that those in charge have got everything wrong. He urges listeners to take a minute and look at what's happening, and says that while he doesn't have all the answers, he knows that it's time to take action.
The second verse talks about those who profit from the suffering of others, causing a flood of destruction that tastes like gasoline. The reference to King Louis XVI, who did not listen to the needs of his people and was ultimately overthrown, suggests that those in power today may suffer a similar fate. The chorus repeats the call for action and suggests that starting over, with a new leader like Napoleon or Lanister, may be the only solution. The song ends with a call to "go back to 1789", the year of the French Revolution, which marked a time of significant change and upheaval in history.
