Politik
Rockabye Baby! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyone must find a place
Give me time and give me space
Give me real, don't give me fake
Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Give me time, give us a kiss
Tell me your own politik
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Just open up your eyes
Give me one, cause one is best
In confusion, confidence
Give me piece of mind and trust
Don't forget the rest of us
Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Wounds that heal and cracks that fix
Tell me your own politik
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Just open up your eyes
And give me love over, love over, love over this, ah
And give me love over, love over, love over this, ah
The lyrics to Rockabye Baby!'s song Politik are a call for unity and understanding between individuals. It starts off by stating that everyone on Earth has a place, and that we all need to be given time and space in order to find that place. The singer then requests authenticity, asking for "real" and not "fake" emotions. The importance of self-control and emotions such as strength, heart, and soul are emphasized. The lyrics then mention the need for a shared kiss and the individual's own beliefs, represented by the word "politik." The repeated phrase "Open up your eyes" serves as a plea for people to be more aware of each other and the issues affecting society.
In the second verse, the singer asks for simplicity in a world that is often confusing, reminding the listener not to forget about those who need help. The same emotions of strength, heart, and soul are mentioned again, along with the idea of healing wounds and fixing cracks. The song ends with a repetition of the call for love, which is ultimately the most important thing that can help us overcome our differences.
