Voices
Rev Theory & Rich Luzzi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
they council me
they understand
they talk to me
You've got your rules and your religion
all designed to keep you safe
but when rules start getting broken
I have a voice that is my savior
hates to love and loves to hate
I have a voice that has the knowledge
and the power to rule your fate
I hear voices cryin'
I see heroes dyin'
I taste blood that's dryin'
I feel tension risin'
[chorus]
I hear voices in my head
they council me
they understand
they talk to me
they talks to me [man's faint echo]
they tell me things that I will do
they show me things I do to you
they talk to me [3x]
they talk to me [3x]
all the lawyers are defenseless
all the doctors are diseased
and the preachers all are sinners
and police just take the grease
all you judges you are guilty
all the bosses I will fire
all you bankers will have losses
politicians are all liars
I see darkness fallin'
I hear voices callin'
I feel justice crawlin'
I see faith has fallen
[chorus]
[guitar solo]
I hear voices cryin'
I see heroes dyin'
I taste blood that's dryin'
I feel tension risin'
[chorus]
The lyrics of the song "Voices" by Rev Theory express the idea that there are internal voices within a person that guide and shape their actions and beliefs. The first verse specifically highlights this concept with the lines, "I hear voices in my head / they council me / they understand / they talk to me." These voices are seen as a source of knowledge and power, as demonstrated in the second verse with the lines, "I have a voice that has the knowledge / and the power to rule your fate." Throughout the song, there is a conflict between these internal voices and external sources of authority, such as religion, law, and government. The chorus repeats the idea that these voices talk to the singer and guide their actions, while the later verses express a general distrust of authority figures.
The song can be seen as an expression of frustration and rebellion against societal norms that are seen as limiting or oppressive. The lines, "all you judges you are guilty / all the bosses I will fire / all you bankers will have losses / politicians are all liars" demonstrate a level of distrust and dissatisfaction with the people in power. The references to doctors, preachers, and police also suggest a lack of trust in professions that are traditionally seen as upholders of society's values. Overall, the song suggests that an individual's internal voices may be a more trustworthy guide than external sources of authority.

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 gettin' broken
You start questionin' your faith
I have a voice that is my saviour
Hates to love and loves to hate
I have a voice that has the knowledge
And the power to rule your fate
I hear voices crying
I see heroes dying
I taste blood that's drying
I feel 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 (talk to me, talk to me, talk to me)

All the lawyers are defenseless
All the doctors are disease
And the preachers are all sinners
And the police just take the grease
