Desperate
Reverend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reality so vivid, can you face the truth
Logic, don't you realize
We're blinded as the propaganda rules our lives
Torn and frayed
What's left of this life we've made
A tiny glimpse
Money controls us all
I've had it up to here with your path of sorrow
First fuck and take no names
One mans loss is another mans gain
Desperate
Desperate
Desperate
Desperate
Torn and frayed
What's left of this life we've made
A tiny glimpse
Of a world that we haven't seen since
I've seen the future, the outlook's grim
Child of tomorrow is cursed to live
Endangered species, they'll drop like flies
Who's going to answer their desperate cries to live
How could we let it slip away
At such a cost, an utter waste
What must it take for all to see
Death for mankind because of his greed
I've seen the future, the outlook's grim
Child of tomorrow is cursed to live
Endangered species, they'll drop like flies
Who's going to answer their desperate cries to live
Reverend's "Desperate" is a song about the harsh reality of the world we live in. The lyrics suggest that our lives are being controlled by propaganda, and the truth is often hidden from us. The line "Nightmare coming true, reality so vivid, can you face the truth" sets the tone for the rest of the song. It's like the curtains are being pulled back, and we're faced with the harsh truth of what's really happening in our world.
The second verse talks about the loss of control that we have over our own lives. Money controls us all, and the path we follow is often one of sorrow. The line "One man's loss is another man's gain" speaks to the idea that the powerful few will do whatever it takes to maintain their status, even if it comes at the expense of others.
The chorus is a repetition of the word "desperate," which reinforces the message of the song. We're living in desperate times, and the future is looking grim. The last verse talks about the potential loss of life if we don't start making changes. The child of tomorrow is "cursed to live," and endangered species will "drop like flies." The question the song poses is, who will answer their desperate cries to live?
Overall, "Desperate" is a powerful commentary on the state of our world. It's a call to action, a plea for us to wake up and realize that things need to change before it's too late.
