Lonewolf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shall come to an end
Tonight the oppressed
Are making a stand
Out on the streets
To take your might
Revolution calls now
July; 1789
Not a revolt but a revolution
July; 1789
A call spread through the lad
The people takes command
Bastille's taken by storm
Marquis overuled
Losing all and more
Kings are on the lose
Out on the streets
To take your might
Revolution calls now
Paris is on fire
The lyrics to Lonewolf's song "1789" detail the events of the French Revolution, specifically the storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789. The song begins with a proclamation that the "reign of terror" will come to an end, and that the oppressed will make a stand. Throughout the song, there is a feeling of urgency and determination as the people take to the streets to overthrow the ruling classes and take control of their own lives. The chorus of "Revolution calls now" emphasizes the idea that the people have had enough, and they will not be silenced or oppressed any longer.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the people are not just staging a revolt, but a full-blown revolution. The storming of the Bastille is mentioned as a turning point, where the people took command and overthrew the ruling Marquis. The lyrics also suggest that the revolution is spreading throughout the country, with "a call spread through the land" and "Paris on fire." The final line, "Kings are on the lose," highlights the significance of the revolution for the entire ruling class, not just those in France.
Overall, "1789" is a powerful song that captures the spirit and energy of the French Revolution. It emphasizes the determination of the people and their willingness to fight and sacrifice for their freedom. The lyrics are also a reminder that revolutions are messy and unpredictable, with both triumphs and losses along the way.
