Voices
Rev Theory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hear voices in my head
They council me
They understand
They talk to me

You got your rules and your religion
All designed to keep you safe
But when rules start getting broken
You start questioning your faith

I have a voice that is my savior
Hates to love and loves to hate
I have the voice that has the knowledge
And the power to rule your fate

I hear voices crying
I see heroes dying
I taste the blood that's drying
I feel the tension rising

I hear voices in my head
They council me
They understand
They talk to me, They talk to me
They tell me things that I will do
They show me things I'll do to you
They talk to me, they talk to me,
They talk to me!

All the lawyers are defenseless
All the doctors are disease
And the preachers all are sinners
And the police just take the grease
All you judges you are guilty
All the bosses I will fire
All you bankers will have losses
And politicians are all liars

I see darkness falling
I hear voices calling
I feel justice crawling
I see faith has fallen

I hear voices in my head
They council me
They understand
They talk to me, They talk to me
They tell me things that I will do
They show me things I'll do on you




They talk to me, they talk to me,
They talk to me!

Overall Meaning

Rev Theory's "Voices" is a song that appears to be about an internal struggle. The singer hears voices in his head that he sees as saviors. However, these voices aren't necessarily saving him in the traditional sense – they are guiding him towards his darker impulses. The lines, "I have a voice that is my savior, hates to love and loves to hate," seem to imply that the voice within him is leading him towards destructive tendencies. This is further emphasized in the lines, "They show me things I'll do to you," which suggest that the internal voice might be pushing him towards violence.


The song also takes aim at several pillars of society – lawyers, doctors, preachers, police, judges, bosses, bankers, and politicians. The lyrics suggest that they are all corrupt or at least compromised in some way. This might be part of what is driving the singer towards his more chaotic impulses. He sees the world around him as fundamentally flawed and doesn't see any hope for things getting better. He even declares that "faith has fallen" and "justice is crawling."


The central theme of this song seems to be the tension between order and chaos. The singer has voices in his head that are pushing him towards chaos, and he seems to be embracing that. At the same time, he sees the order in the world around him as oppressive and corrupt. This creates a sense of conflict within him that is reflected in the lyrics. The repetition of the phrase "They talk to me" emphasizes this struggle – he is being pulled towards different directions, and he doesn't know which way to go.

Contemplad al coloso, ved como lucha lucha y no desmaya
Como pisa radiante y majestuoso el mas alto crestón del himalaya
Como allí puesto en Dios el pensamiento
Revela un nuevo mundo en cada grito
Atlas en que se apoya el firmamento
Atalaya que explora el infinito
Sensei
El mas grande de todos
¡Randy, Randy Orton!


Old and golden days when wwe was in México

I see Cena in my bed
He really punched me in the head
I really said

"You got you quotes in your twitter"
"I wanted to know what it means"
"But when rules start getting broken, you start losing your title"

I have a move that is my savior
It is called Attitude Adjustment
I have a move that has the power
The move is called Randal Keith Orton

I see Cena crying
I see Randy spying
I smell what Rock is cooking
I feel the power rising

I hear tables crashing down
They disturb me
While I'm drawing Bloody Ray
They disturb me, they disturb me
He told Dvon to get tables
They show me how to do 3D
They disturb me, THEY DISTURB ME!

Think about the words to this amazing song! It hits the bullseye dead center with where America is today. All the Preachers are sinners, All the doctors are disease, Politicians are all liars and Police just take the grease. Randy Orton is a figure of our collective imaginations. A charachter in a grand show. Don't let the real, pertinent message of this little piece of wisdom be lost!

The country was like this way before that. It's just more noticeable now.

I'm surprised this wasn't used in the Venom movie. Would've fit perfectly.

H.K

Would've been a far better choice than that Eminem song.
