Syndicate
Lonely Kings Lyrics

The lyrics of Lonely Kings's song Syndicate depict a sense of despair and resignation towards a situation that has already been predetermined. The opening lines of the song, "The rhythm has been won, the shelter has been burned" suggest that the singer has lost something fundamental to their existence, a sense of stability, perhaps, or the means to maintain their livelihood. Despite these losses, the singer expresses an eagerness to do whatever is necessary to regain what has been taken from them, asking "What do you want from me? I'll give you everything."

However, the lyrics also acknowledge that some things cannot be replaced once they are lost. This sentiment is captured in the lines "We've got to save some artifacts, we can't replace our future's brittle past." Here, the singer recognizes that there are things worth fighting for, even if they are intangible, and that the past cannot be undone but must be preserved if the future is to be secured. The lyrics of Syndicate convey a sense of urgency and desperation, but also a determination to hold onto what is valuable and irreplaceable.
