The abbreviated name P.K.14 … Read Full Bio ↴P.K.14 - Beijing based post-punk band.
The abbreviated name P.K.14 is a continuous play on words. Primarily standing for Public Kingdom for Teens (青春公共王国), known to also stand for Pent Kilowatt One More Than Thirteen, Pelikan Kraut Seven Times Two and Psycho Killer Two Less Than Sixteen amongst others...
Vocals - Yang Haisong (杨海崧)
Guitar - Xu Bo (许波)
Drums - Jonathan (坛坛)
Bass - Shi Xudong (施旭东)
Founded 1997 in Nanjing by Yang Haisong, Sun Xia, Xu Feng and Yang Sen. P.K.14 played their first show in December of 1997 and since then they have released three albums and toured China and Europe extensively. Current line-up has gradually come together during the last seven years. The band is self managed and have released their material through Modern Sky, Sub Jam and Kuguabang.
P.K.14 occupies a space in Chinese music that might be analogous to that of Television or the Talking Heads in the New York of the 1970s. They are among the most thoughtful and self-referential of bands, with an enormous curiosity about music coupled with a complete inability to care about musical fashion. Among the older bands ( i.e. those formed before 2002) they have the greatest influence on Beijing's younger bands. But for all the love these bands have for P.K.14, and although they are at the heart of the Beijing scene and among the most loved and respected of the Chinese indie bands, at the same time they are unique and seem to be traveling in their own scene.

The lyrics to P.K.14's song "Eden" address issues of injustice and oppression, and challenge the idea that one person's life matters more than another's. The singer speaks of a feeling that has been building up inside, one that can no longer be denied, and vows to even up the score with their oppressor. The song speaks to the anger and frustration of those who have been wronged and oppressed, and asserts that aggression in the face of such injustice can actually make the oppressed stronger. The lyrics urge the listener to stand up for what is right and just, and to reject the notion that might makes right or that one life is worth more than another.
The song appears to be addressing issues of social justice, and specifically the ways in which power and privilege are used to manipulate and control others. The lyrics make reference to the use of force and violence to quell dissent, and suggest that such measures only serve to perpetuate the cycle of violence and oppression. The song's refrain, "Where there's no justice, there's no peace," encapsulates this sentiment, suggesting that true peace and harmony can only be achieved when justice is served and all individuals are treated fairly and with respect.
P.K.14 is a Chinese indie rock band that formed in Nanjing in 1997. The band's name is a reference to a series of tunnels and underground bunkers built during the Cold War, and their music often deals with themes of isolation, disillusionment, and social conflict. "Eden" was released on the band's 2017 album "Xiǎoxīng jú", which translates to "Little Universe". The song has been noted for its politically charged lyrics and its powerful, anthemic sound, which draws on a range of punk, post-punk, and psychedelia influences.
Line by Line Meaning
I got this feeling coming over me
I am overwhelmed with a strong emotion
I can't deny it anymore
I cannot ignore this feeling any longer
You think you're winning once again, I see
You believe that you are succeeding once more, but I am aware of it
It's time I even up the score
It's time for me to retaliate and balance the outcome
You think your life matters more than mine
You believe that your life is more important than mine
Dispense injustice with your knee
You painfully deliver unfair treatment
Your aggression, makes us stronger
Despite your hostility, it has made us more resolute
we cant stand it any longer
We cannot tolerate it any further
No where to run, no time for hide and seek
You cannot evade or conceal yourself anymore
You can't disguise yourself this time
You cannot conceal your true identity or intentions this time
Wrapped in flags and rules, protection weak
Your protection is vulnerable and inadequate even with national symbols and regulations
The strength of right is what you'll find
You will encounter the power of what is just and ethical
You think your life matters more than ours
You believe that your wellbeing has more significance than ours
In black and white you only see
You view the world only in terms of what is right or wrong
Your aggression, turns back on you
Your hostility rebounds onto yourself
Your aggression, disgrace the blue
Your aggression shames the police force
Your aggression, will turn the tide
Your hostility will change the direction of events
This aggression, boiling over inside
This hostility is intense and uncontained internally
You want the riots to cease (Where there's no justice there's no peace)
You desire for the riots to end, however that cannot happen without justice
You want the violence to cease (Where there's no justice there's no peace)
You desire for the violence to end, however that cannot happen without justice
It's YOUR violence can't you see (Where there's no justice there's no peace)
It's your hostility that is causing the unrest
(Where there's no justice there's no peace) can't you see
It's evident that if justice is not served, there will be no peace
(Where there's no justice there's no peace) why can't you see
Why can't you grasp that without justice, peace is impossible?
Where there's no justice, there's no peace
Absence of impartiality leads to turmoil
It's time for justice, time for live or die
It's time for fairness, even at the cost of life or death
And just whose justice shall we seek
Whose sense of right and wrong will we follow?
You think your life matters more this time
You still believe that your life is more important than mine
You want the life you took from me
You want the life that you have deprived me of
Your aggression, took you over
Your hostility consumed you
Your aggression, set me free
Your aggression liberated me from your control
Your aggression, no justice
Your hostility results in no justice
This aggression, no peace
This hostility results in a lack of peace
No peace
The absence of tranquility
