Aggression
Palisades Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No more, no more
No more, no more, yeah

Look at the end covered in blood, only silence
What's to be done? They load up the guns, only violence
Sick of the good dying first, too many more than it's worth
How many mothers are mourning their brothers in silence?
Can we?!

Murder machine, death is routine, what's the reason?
We dance over graves, light bombs like who cares while we're grieving?
Tell me the truth though it hurts, we live in a world and it's cursed
But our generation will have separation, we're fearless

Can we disarm the loaded gun?
Can we survive what we've become?
The hate is slowly choking me
American aggression for free

Can we?!

I've got this feeling in my soul
We've never really had control
I bet they're digging out my hole
Six feet for every word we spoke
My eyes holding the line
Waiting for time to take my life but
What in this world could justify
If the liars they feed ARE KILLING?

Can we disarm the loaded gun?
Can we survive what we've become?
The hate is slowly choking me
American aggression for free

I've got this feeling in my soul
We've never really had control
I bet they're digging out my hole

Can we?

I've got this feeling in my soul!
We've never really had control!
I bet they're digging out my hole!
Well, come and get me!

Can we disarm the loaded gun?
Can we survive what we've become?
The hate is slowly choking me
American aggression for free
American aggression for free





Can we?!
Can we?!

The imagery of digging out his hole and waiting for time to take his life highlights the sense of powerlessness that many people feel.


Overall, "Aggression" is a hard-hitting song that tackles some of the most important and difficult issues facing the world today. It raises important questions about violence, empathy, and our ability to make a positive change.

This is one of the most relevant songs right now. “Can we disarm the loaded gun, can we survive what we’ve become.” I doubt anyone is reading this, but if you are, the answer is yes. If we work together, if we stick together, if we can look past each other’s mistakes and problems, we can survive this, and if we work hard enough, hopefully we can improve the world.

Nitassa

Right. Thanks for your words. I think we can make this world a better place. I am pretty sure we will. ❤

Alice Carson

I've been on the journey with Palisades for 5 years now, and I'm blown away how they can change their sound but still give me goosebumps as they did with I'm not dying today. stoked for new music

Gemma Guzman

Saw these guys live a little more than a year ago and they know how to put on a show, glad they're still making music.

Brandon Roper

I love how Palisades can make a large variety of songs. They aren't a monotonous band only sticking to one sound.

Inco

This is my favorite Palisades song 💕

Kenneth Galeano

It sounds so different for Palisades, but it really doesn't disappoint. You can still tell it's Palisades. ❤
