No One
Jan Wayne/Scarlet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Side by side. One by one.
Your right hand man is sharpening his knives.
Dead presidents. Shocking you with stun guns on the seven o' clock news
So just do whatever it takes to sedate yourself between commercial breaks.
Is he living next door? Or is he near?
Standing in line to die. It's the pixilated face of your fear.
Because the psychotic hype has arrived. No one's getting out alive.
The lyrics of Jan Wayne/Scarlet's song No one paint a picture of a dystopian society where the government controls and oppresses the people. The phrase "Dead presidents" refers to the images of U.S. presidents on currency, suggesting that the government cares only about money and power. "Bleeding America blue" refers to the idea that the country and its people are being drained of their vitality and freedom. The line "Your right-hand man is sharpening his knives" suggests that even those close to the people in power are not to be trusted, an indication of how fear and paranoia are pervasive in this world.
The references to stun guns and sedation highlight the idea that the government uses violence and mind-altering drugs to keep people under control. The lyric "Standing in line to die" implies that the government has created a society that is essentially suicidal, either because its citizens have given up hope, or because they are being systematically eliminated. The phrase "pixilated face of your fear" suggests that the people's oppressors are unknown and faceless, making it all the more difficult to resist.
Overall, the song is about the dangers of totalitarianism and the need to remain vigilant in the face of oppression. It is a call to action to resist tyranny, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
