Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
But we all got something to say, yeah
They feed us drugs to keep us in bubbles
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Let the silence protest today
So lay my naked body in warner blvd oh yeah
Do I have die to make you listen to me?
This is not a protest, protest this is not a protest sign
You can't put a label, label on what we deserve for so long
Tonight we burning down the block
No you can't keep us in the box
So don't try to put us on the shelf Oh, no labels
We need no labels
Bump pa da
Bump pa da
Bump pa da
No labels
Bump pa da
Bump pa da
Bump pa da
No labels
No I'm not even being a rebel
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Can't keep a lioness in a cage, no I may have
Sold my soul to the devil Yeah
But you sell legends to the grave
So lay my naked body in warner blvd oh yeah
Can't you see I'm breathing
Do I have die to make you listen to me?
This is not a protest, protest this is not a protest sign
You can't put a label, label on what we deserve for so long
Tonight we burning down the block
No you can't keep us in the box
So don't try to put us on the shelf Oh, no labels
We need no labels
Bump pa da
Bump pa da
Bump pa da
No labels
Bump pa da

The lyrics to Neon Hitch's "Warner Blvd" speak to the societal pressure to conform and be labeled, yet the artist proclaims their desire to break free from these constraints. The opening lines of "No, I'm not looking for trouble, but we all got something to say" suggest the artist's peaceful intentions, but they recognize that there is a need for change and a desire to express individuality. The following line "They feed us drugs to keep us in bubbles," is a nod to the idea that people are often given substances, whether literal or metaphorical, to numb them to the reality of their lives and prevent them from questioning the status quo.
The chorus, "This is not a protest, protest, this is not a protest sign / You can't put a label, label on what we deserve for so long / Tonight we burning down the block" is a call to action. The artist is saying that they will not be labeled or boxed in any longer, and that change can only happen by breaking free from the confines of society. The line "no you can't keep us in the box, so don't try to put us on the shelf" emphasizes the idea that people must be allowed to exist and express themselves without being forced into predetermined labels or categories.
The final lines of the song, "Bump pa da, bump pa da, no labels" drive home the message that individuals should be allowed to exist and thrive without societal constraints. The repetition of "no labels" emphasizes the artist's desire for true freedom and individuality.
