Warriors
Lush & Simon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With my keyboard
There's no defence
When I'm offended
Need victims or blame?
Choose me, I won't suck
This role I'll play
I'm woke as
Follow me even offended by my God-given gender
Imma prey on life like a premature vulture
My weapon's my device set to cancel your culture
I don't do it for you it's all for me
I'm a warrior for my own dopamine
I don't do it for you it's all for me
I'm a warrior for my own dopamine
Won't judge you now
On strength within
Only pronouns
Or type of skin
I'll find offense
Be thunderstruck
Watch what you say
I'w woke as
Funny I'm a god there's nothing you can say or do
My barmy army's fingers poised - press to cancel you
You're free to speak only if you agree with me
If you challenge me - I'll call you out on some crazy toxic masculinity
I don't do it for you it's all for me
I'm a warrior for my own dopamine
I don't do it for you it's all for me
I'm a warrior - woke warrior
I'll fight their war
With my keyboard
There's no defence
When I'm offended
I'm a warrior
I don't do it for you it's all for me
I'm a warrior for my own dopamine
The lines in Lush & Simon's song Warriors vividly depict the ongoing trend of calling out others through social media platforms. The first verse points out how a keyboard warrior is a person who fights through social media and emails instead of engaging in person. With these tools, they can easily attack others who have no opportunity to defend themselves. Keyboard warriors react explosively to even the smallest of issues and therefore easily manipulate the situation. The line "My weapon's my device set to cancel your culture" shows how they cancel or silence people they disagree with.
The second verse speaks to the fact that keyboard warriors are always looking for something to be offended about, to call out, and to fight against for the sake of a dopamine hit. They make themselves the voice for others, especially those who may not really share their views. They pretend to stand up for a cause when in fact, their actual goal is personal satisfaction. The third verse reveals how keyboard warriors can be selfish and hypocritical, demanding that you follow the way they think, but they don't follow it themselves.
Overall, the song is a commentary on internet culture, where keyboard warriors, particularly on social media, connect with each other to form a group of like-minded individuals and use their platforms to intimidate and silence those who disagree with them. It's a commentary that highlights the negative abilities that internet culture presents, from cancel culture to offensive self-righteousness.
