Bastards Screaming
Rotersand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We can't deny the pressure we feel in our chests
So we decided to go on and put our asses on the line - to fight the enemy
It was time to finally have the error in their wires
And it feels like:
I hear them bastards screaming
I hear them bastards screaming
We've had enough
We've had enough
We've had enough
The lyrics to Rotersand's song "Bastards Screaming" convey a sense of defiance and the desire to take action against an enemy or oppressor. The first two lines suggest that the singer and their comrades have reached a breaking point, feeling the pressure build up inside of them until they can no longer ignore it. They have decided to take a stand, knowing full well the risks that come with confronting their opponents head on.
The line "It was time to finally have the error in their wires" is particularly intriguing, as it could be interpreted in a few different ways. On the surface, it might refer to discovering a flaw in the enemy's technology or communication systems, which the singer and their allies plan to exploit. However, it could also be a metaphor for exposing the weaknesses in the enemy's ideology or power structure. Either way, the tone of the lyrics is one of determination and confidence, as the singer describes hearing the "bastards" screaming in response to their actions.
Overall, the song seems to be about standing up for oneself and fighting back against injustice or oppression. It's a rallying cry for those who have had enough and are ready to take action, no matter the cost.

on All These Moments
I'm sitting still, the shadows climb across the walls and memories creep in.
Another day there world is bleak but I did not surrender to the void within.
The play is done, the lights are down.
The quiet stage is set again. There's no one left but still the fading echoes of your voice remains.
Living by the moment, living by the rules. Another day forgotten, another day to lose.
Living by the moment. Living by the rules. Slowly getting better, getting over you.
Living by the moment, living by the rules.
Another day forgotten, another day to lose.
Living by the moment, living by the rules.
Slowly getting better, getting over you.
On my own, on your own.
Got to learn to sleep alone.
On my own, on your own.
Got to learn to wake alone.
On my own, on your own.
Got to learn to weep alone.
On my own, on your own.
Learning not to break alone.
Living by the moment, living by the rules.
Another day forgotten, another day to lose.
Living by the moment, living by the rules.
Slowly getting better, getting over you."
