S.O.A Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here they come, clubowners beware
They're not welcome, but they don't care
They're gonna rip this place apart
Thrash to the finish, thrash from the start
[Chorus:]
Don't be a fool, No choice for you
They wear chains and they wear leather
They wear boots in any weather
Never dress up for a show
Look this way when they're at home
[Chorus]
They own the floor when their bands play
Bouncers get bounced when they're in the way
If you wanna fight you better think again
If you fight one then you'll fight 10
The lyrics of S.O.A.'s song "Warzone" depict a group of rebellious individuals who don't conform to societal norms and wreak havoc in clubs where they're not welcome. The first verse warns club owners to beware of these miscreants who thrive on tearing places apart. The chorus sheds light on their carefree nature and their "do what they wanna do" attitude towards life.
The second verse talks about the appearance of these individuals who wear chains, leather, and boots irrespective of the weather outside. They're not the kind of people who dress up for a show but look intimidating even when they're at home. The last two lines of the verse talk about their attitude towards violence, and how getting involved in a fight with them is not a wise decision.
In summary, "Warzone" is a song that glorifies rebellion and non-conformity. It addresses those who live by their own rules and don't care about what the rest of the world thinks of them. The song is a call to live life on one's terms and not bow down to societal pressure.
