Redemption
J-3 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever have
Redemtion songs
Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
Won't you help to sing
Another song of freedom
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
And other songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
In J-3's song Redemption, the lyrics are drawn from Bob Marley's song "Redemption Song," which speaks of the history of slavery and oppression and the need for liberation and redemption. The first lines talk about the experience of being sold as a slave to a merchant ship and how it feels like falling into a bottomless pit. The singer seeks help in singing songs of freedom because that is all he has.
The song then goes on to speak about how the Almighty's hand made the singer strong enough to overcome the oppression, and they move forward towards their redemption. The lyrics encourage listeners to join together and sing songs of freedom to emancipate themselves from mental slavery, and not to fear the atomic energy as nothing can stop the time. It then asks the question for how long must the prophets be killed while we stand aside and look. In the final lines, the lyrics plead for the singing of more songs of freedom as they are all the singer ever has.

I forgot to mention in my previous comment...
That bonnet guy with esp powers? He and our main character is quite wholesome in that confrontation scene 💖
I did not expect that to happen.
Quite the subversion.
Something in the lines of:
"I would not kill him, he's my brother."
I love the bonnet guy.
Kudos to the directors.

The beanie guy has a stunning character, indeed!
Last gifted soldier with a beanie - There's a reward for your head.
Shaman - So what?
Last gifted soldier with a beanie - I just came to meet you.
Shaman - Nice to meet you then.
Last gifted soldier with a beanie - Hi.
Shaman - Okay, go. If you know where to go.
Last gifted soldier - This is a Mauser. Take it. Nice pistol.
Shaman -Thank you.
Last gifted soldier with a beanie - I wanted also to tell you... That's it. There is no one left. Everyone's dead.
Shaman -Thank you.
Last gifted soldier with a beanie - I'll go then. Won't you kill me?
Shaman - No.
Last gifted soldier with a beanie - Why?
Shaman - Just won't.
Last gifted soldier with a beanie - Okay. All right. I'm going. It was nice to meet you. Bye.

Last gifted soldier with a beanie - Hello.
Donor - How are you?
Last gifted soldier with a beanie - I'm done. May I go home? He killed everyone.
Donor - You were the only one worthy. I counted only on you. Why did you give up?
Last gifted soldier with a beanie - Because we are brothers. Do you understand me, baldheaded?

"He, like a magician, can slow down time, like a wizard, so the ancient Scythians probably fought with secret ways to change reality, subjugate time, and win being invulnerable to the enemy"
Shaman : "I always feel when my dream comes to me.
And it takes me in.
The dream takes me and drives me through the wood. Drives me home.
Drives to hell.
I meet my friends there.
I don't know who is dead, and who is alive.
But everyone is alive there.
There is no pain there. No fear. No evil.
No lies.
But this dream becomes ordinary. I want to live again.
So I could come back home again and again.
To come back home. Home.
To come back home.
Home.
Home.
Home.
Home."
"I feel the ground. I blend with the space, and the ground transfers me,
so the enemy doesn't even notice me. Time freezes that moment.
When reality changes, the borders between dream and reality disappear.
There is only space, where enemy is just a phantom.
Enemy is someone who doesn't exist. Which means he cannot kill."
Nastya remembering Shaman' words "This is a flint. Ancient soldiers took this stone at war.
Soldiers knew that with the flint's help they could change the reality inside and outside."
"If you want to win, you gotta change the reality around you.
Your enemy is already dead before you even start the fight.
Therefore he is not able to win.
Enemy is a ghost from your dream.
You are invulnerable when you sleep."
Manuel Santos
1:00:23Donor - Did she come to senses?
Hi. How are you doing?
Quiet! Don't move.
Nastya - Who are you and what do you need from me?
Donor - Do you have a headache?
Nastya -You all will be dead, when they find me.
Donor -No one is gonna find you. You just don't exist. Now you're having another life.
Nastya - I don't know who you are and what I am doing here.
But I can see one thing clearly now.
Donor - And what is that?
Nastya- You are so...
...dead.
You are right, I'm not where you are now.
Donor - And where are we?
Nastya -In the ground or in fire. Depends on how lucky you will be.
Dead...
1:09:15 Donor - So you saw my death, didn't you? What else can you tell me? Maybe something about him?
What do you do? Who is he in life?
Nastya - He's an ordinary man. As everyone.
We walk, we stroll, we eat, we sleep.
Donor -You make love?
Nastya - Yes. We love each other.
Donor -Yes, I got you.
You met in cafe Karelia. You worked as a waitress. He asked you to go with him. You agreed.
Why not? He's a nice guy. No talk about special forces.
Andrei is a kind guy. He loves fishing. He dreams about a son.
Nastya - That's true. You know everything. You are clever.
Donor "I think I didn't realize whom I was dealing with. He's not just a soldier. He's a gifted

Really enjoyed this installment. The first "Flint" was almost a parody of 'First Blood' with so many plot and character similarities (except that SS couldn't hold a candle to this guy Shamanov)...but this second effort is WAY over the top - but tastefully. Excellent action/acting, wonderful production values with motion zoom effects and dream-like sequences. And Shaman? Well he sure plays the part to a tee - even eats the woods. Think he would've had sex with the woods if it wasn't such a family show, lol! Recommended 10/10 💖 🇨🇦
Ian Hambleton
There are similarities to Big Arnie's "Commando" as well
ProEnd
in comedy roles, the shaman is no less convincing, especially in the TV series "bugs", "Simply Mikhalych"😄👍

@ProEnd Hey buddy, can you hook me up with some links *wink *wink 🙂

As you can see in the story, both the dream and desire to be back home are such powerful emotion shown at the very start of video, that this experience, feeling and emotion made and continued to make the hero extremely strong in spirit and fight, inciting a sense to overcome, challenge and win over.
Gary Hughes
No screwing around with this guy. He gets straight down to business. Well done.
Great movie and fantastic character. Highly recommend this movie to all of you action buffs out there in the ether.

Хоть в фильмах справедливость торжествует. Мелочь, но приятно. Зло должно быть побеждено!
