After many hundreds of shows around the world and three studio recordings that changed how people listen to and approach hardcore since, the band laid it to rest in the summer months of 2004.
Thirteen years later, conditions locally, nationally, and globally have exposed a fertile patch toward the resurrection of MAJORITY RULE, if for nothing else but to return to many of the stages and spaces they’ve performed in prior, and under the same exact ethics they held then and now, to raise awareness, funding, and goodwill toward individualized, local causes in each and every town they are set to perform in.
Matt plays in Highway Cross now.
XOXO
Majority Rule Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When seeing isn't what believing is.
In Majority Rule's song XOXO, the lyrics "Wouldn't it be nice if life were more alive. When seeing isn't what believing is" seem to express a desire for a deeper understanding of the world and a rejection of the idea that what we see is all there is. The phrase "life were more alive" suggests that the singer sees the world around them as dull or lacking in vitality, and wishes for a greater sense of vibrancy and energy.
The next line, "when seeing isn't what believing is", implies that the singer has come to mistrust their senses and is seeking a deeper truth beyond appearances. This may reflect a broader theme of the album from which the song is taken, in which the band critiques societal norms and values, challenging listeners to question accepted wisdom and dogma.
Overall, the lyrics of XOXO suggest a restless and questioning mindset, with a desire for greater understanding and a willingness to reject received wisdom in order to find it.
