Unity
Op. Ivy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't want no war going down tonight
Civilization ha I call it as I see it
I call it bullshit you know I still cannot believe it
Our evolution now has gone the way of hate
A world evolved resolved in this stupid fate
All so different yeah I say were all the same
All caught you know in the division game
Self destruction fast impending like a bullet
No one can stop it once its fired no one can control it
A final word, wait it's not a call to action
We ain't no sect, no this ain't no fucking faction
Unity, unity you've heard it all before
This time its not exclusive we want to stop a war
Unity as one stand together
Unity evolutions gonna come
The lyrics of Op. Ivy's song Unity convey a sense of frustration and urgency for unity amid a world plagued by conflict and hate. The opening lines, "There's a war going down between my brothers tonight, I don't want no war going down tonight" indicate a yearning for peace and non-violence, with the use of the term "brothers" suggesting that we are all part of a global family, and violence against our own is akin to a civil war.
The following lines, "Civilization ha I call it as I see it, I call it bullshit you know I still cannot believe it, Our evolution now has gone the way of hate, A world evolved resolved in this stupid fate" criticize the way society has developed, with an evolutionary process that has led to the emergence of hate instead of compassion and love. The use of the term "civilization" suggests that societal progress has gone wrong and is in need of change.
The chorus, "Stop this... war!" highlights the need for action to put an end to destructive conflicts and encourages people to come together in an effort to stop war. The song goes on to emphasize the idea that we are all the same and that differences are the result of artificial divisions that have been created. The lyrics urge people to unite as one and stand against self-destruction, which is impending like a bullet and cannot be stopped once it's set in motion.
