Uniform
Shandon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I see a uniform my hearts begins to die
Policeman are the denial the nausea of my life
Give vent to your cowardice in this bad faith
Where do you leave your mind?
Maybe in a bullet we learn to behave better
Than you and these stupid laws
As a pestiferous child I'll mock everything blue
The lyrics of "Uniform" by Shandon speak about a deep-seated hatred towards policemen and the idea of authority represented by their uniform. The singer seems to have had negative experiences with law enforcement, causing their "heart to die" every time they see a uniform. The lyrics convey a message of rebellion against authority and the laws that it enforces, which the singer sees as an excuse for cowardice and bad faith. This rebellion is also reflected in the final line of the stanza, where the singer claims to mock everything blue, which could refer to the color of policemen's uniforms.
The second part of the song refers to a violent act: "Maybe in a bullet we learn to behave better than you and these stupid laws." This could imply that the singer believes that the only way to change the current state of things is through violence, which is a controversial and dangerous message to convey. However, it could also be interpreted as a metaphor for the need for change in society and the failure of the current system.
Overall, the lyrics of "Uniform" by Shandon provide a glimpse into the mind of someone who feels ostracized by society and who is willing to rebel against authority to bring about change.
