Art Of Rebellion
Harmful Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A plastic kind of opinion, the art of rebellion I adore
You have to break it down in, the art of rebellion
It's gonna take you home when, you're in the art of rebellion
I'm sick and tired about you, let it deny you
It's getting dark, a simple kind of a master plan turns into sand
You have to break it down in, the art of rebellion
It's gonna take you home when, you're in the art of rebellion
The lyrics of Harmful's song "Art Of Rebellion" seem to be about rebellion and the artist's desire to break free from a plastic-like world of superficiality and conformism. The artist implies that he was once part of this artificial reality, but he has since rebelled against it and embraced a new world of creativity and authenticity.
The lyrics are not only about the personal journey of the artist but also a call for others to follow in his footsteps. The artist believes that one has to "break it down" to find the true meaning of rebellion, and that this journey will ultimately take the listener "home". The chorus repeats this idea, emphasizing the importance of the art of rebellion in finding one's true self.
The lyrics also touch on the idea that rebellion can be both exhilarating and challenging. The artist is "sick and tired" of the old way of life, but the journey towards the new way is not without its obstacles. In the end, however, the artist believes that the art of rebellion is worth it.
