Save The Nation
Royal Republic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shake every hand, steal every kiss
I'll make it right, I'll show the way
I'll take your fight, I'll save the day
Put your mark right by my name
Rise and shine, rise to fame
You know I'm everywhere
No one but me can save the nation
Yeah, I get your lack of patience
Yeah, I get your lack of patience
No one but me can save the nation
Yeah, I got your expectation
Yeah, I got your expectation
No one but me can save the nation
So put you mark right by my name
Rise and shine and rise again
You know I'm everywhere
Turn around, you know I'm there
Yeah, I get your lack of patience
Yeah, I get your lack of patience
No one but me can save the nation
Yeah, I got your expectation
Yeah, I got your expectation
No one but me can save the nation
A vote for me is a vote for you
A vote for me is a vote for you
Spokesman of a generation
No one but me can save the nation
(A vote for me is a vote for you)
(A vote for me is a vote for you)
(A vote for me is a vote for you)
(A vote for me is a vote for you)
Distorted information (A vote for me is a vote for you)
An modern liberation (A vote for me is a vote for you)
No one but me can save the nation
Yeah, I get your lack of patience
Yeah, I get your lack of patience
No one but me can save the nation
Yeah, I got your expectation
I got your aggrevation
No one but me can save the nation
All the kids need motivation
You do need my dictation
No one but me can save the nation
A vote for me is a vote for you
A vote for me is a vote for you
Spokesman of a generation
No one but me can save the nation
A vote for me is a vote for you
A vote for me, yeah, vote for me!
The lyrics of Royal Republic's song Save The Nation are a criticism of the modern-day political climate and the way politicians use slogans and promises to gain power. The verses of the song are an appeal from the singer to the audience to put their trust and support in him, as he pledges to "make it right" and "save the nation." The chorus, "No one but me can save the nation," is a bold statement that points to the arrogance and self-importance of politicians who believe they are the only ones who can lead the country to greatness. The repetition of the phrase "yeah, I get your lack of patience" highlights the growing frustration of the people towards politicians who do not deliver on their promises.
The bridge of the song takes a sarcastic turn, as the singer promises distorted information and modern liberation, suggesting that politicians often offer empty promises instead of actual solutions. The repetition of the phrase "a vote for me is a vote for you" is an attempt to make the audience feel like the singer cares about their interests, but it also emphasizes the self-serving nature of politicians who use their power to benefit themselves.
Overall, Save The Nation is a scathing critique of politics and the way politicians manipulate people to gain power. The lyrics suggest that the real power lies with the people, and it is up to them to hold politicians accountable and make informed decisions.
