Everybody
R.A.W. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your god is a liar
Deceive and desire
Knowledge eaten long ago

Your light is a power
Getting darker by the hour
Everything you didn't know
Oh, there's a hole in the ground
Where the beasts will gather round
If you look you will see
That the beasts are you and me

As we cling to each other
We begin to rediscover

Our will is strong
Our will is strong
They got it wrong

Everybody sins
No one wins
What will you do when the end begins?
When the angel makes dismay and sorrow

Everybody burns
No one learns
What will you do when the king returns?
When the angel takes away tomorrow

Everybody sins

Count down getting faster
Looking up for a master
You're betting on a guessing game

Go to prison for your freedom
Call your father if you need him
You better call a different name

Oh, there's a hole in the earth
Where the beast is giving birth
It's a child of the sun
He brought the light for everyone

As we cling to each other
Every sister, every brother

Our will is strong
Our will is strong
You got it wrong

Everybody sins
No one wins
What will you do when the end begins?
When the angel makes dismay and sorrow

Everybody burns
No one learns
What will you do when the king returns?
When the angel takes away tomorrow

Everybody sins

He's the dark in the shadow
Everybody sins
He's the meaning of it all
Everybody sins
He's the sun in the rainbow
Everybody sins
Liberation was the fall
Everybody sins

Break the chain of the pattern
Everybody sins
Take the painting off the wall
Everybody sins
It's the new reign of Saturn
Everybody sins




Liberation for us all
Everybody sins

Overall Meaning

The song "Everybody" by R.A.W. is a powerhouse of lyrics that delves into the human experience, and how we are all flawed beings who have our struggles, but still have the capacity for strength and love. The lines "Your god is a liar/ Deceive and desire/ Knowledge eaten long ago" explore the notion of false prophets and the idea that knowledge and truth are often kept from us. This is followed by "Your light is a power/ Getting darker by the hour/ Everything you didn't know," which touches on how the things we thought we knew or believed in can often crumble away, leaving us in the dark.


The chorus of "Everybody sins/ No one wins/ What will you do when the end begins?/ When the angel makes dismay and sorrow/ Everybody burns/ No one learns/ What will you do when the king returns?/ When the angel takes away tomorrow" highlights the idea that we all have our vices and imperfections, but also touches on the consequences that come with them. It asks the listener to consider how they will react when the reality of these consequences come to light.


Line by Line Meaning

Your god is a liar
The concept of god is deceitful and untruthful


Deceive and desire
Religious and worldly aspirations are deceitful


Knowledge eaten long ago
The wisdom of old has been lost


Your light is a power
The concept of enlightenment is influential


Getting darker by the hour
However, it is becoming less effective


Everything you didn't know
Mysteries still remain unsolved


Oh, there's a hole in the ground
There is a void in the world


Where the beasts will gather round
Where human nature exposes itself


If you look you will see
If you are observant enough


That the beasts are you and me
It will become clear that we are no different


As we cling to each other
As humanity unites


We begin to rediscover
We reacquaint ourselves with the wisdom of the past


Our will is strong
Our determination is steadfast


They got it wrong
The conventional norms have erred


Everybody sins
All people commit wrongdoings


No one wins
There are no victors


What will you do when the end begins?
What actions will you take during the final moments?


When the angel makes dismay and sorrow
When the consequences of our actions become evident


Everybody burns
All will face reckoning


No one learns
Few will understand the reasons behind their downfall


What will you do when the king returns?
What will you do when the ultimate rule comes?


When the angel takes away tomorrow
When the uncertainty of the future presents itself


Count down getting faster
Time is dwindling


Looking up for a master
Searching for guidance


You're betting on a guessing game
Life is unpredictable


Go to prison for your freedom
Sometimes we must make sacrifices for progress


Call your father if you need him
Reach out for support


You better call a different name
Do not rely on the conventional sources for help


Oh, there's a hole in the earth
There is emptiness in the world


Where the beast is giving birth
Where humanity is evolving


It's a child of the sun
It is born of enlightenment


He brought the light for everyone
He illuminated the path for all


Every sister, every brother
All people are equal


He's the dark in the shadow
He represents the hidden flaws within us all


He's the meaning of it all
He embodies the purpose of life


He's the sun in the rainbow
He represents the brightness after a storm


Liberation was the fall
The release from old conventions caused our downfall


Break the chain of the pattern
Break free from the established routine


Take the painting off the wall
Question the norms


It's the new reign of Saturn
A new era is coming


Liberation for us all
Freedom for all humankind
