Snitch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drinks 2 beers and leaves the house
Starts the car and drives downtown
Picks his friends up on the way
After a long hardworking day
They're pleased it's over
And sooner or later they will
It all depends on how much they drink
There might be a fight, another fight tonight
Broken bottles everywhere
Watch your back he's got a chair
They all run riot
No weapons anywere
Just fistfighting, but beware
They all run riot
The bar's a wreck, but they need
More another fight, âcause life's a bore
Get in the car and get out there
Drinking beer along the way
Heading straight out of the bay
That's where the fights are
Everyone out there is ready to fight
They're angry and ready to go
It doesn't matter who's side you're on
There's gonna be a fight, another fight tonight
The lyrics of Snitch's "Riot" depict a typical Friday night of a group of hardworking individuals who are looking to forget about their day jobs and enjoy some fun. The singer starts his evening by leaving the house after drinking two beers and meeting up with his friends. The group then drives downtown, and along the way, they continue to drink beer and chat about their work week.
As they arrive at a bar, they find themselves amongst a rowdy crowd of angry individuals whose behavior is threatening and unstable. The atmosphere is chaotic, with broken bottles everywhere, and the threat of violence is palpable. It's apparent that the night is going to take a turn for the worst when a fight breaks out, and the crowd follows suit.
The lyrics signify the normalization of violence as a way to escape the monotony of daily life. The singer depicts a world where violence is ubiquitous, and the only way to find excitement is by actively engaging in it. The song also highlights the excessive drinking that is necessary to dull the senses and enable individuals to participate in such dangerous behavior.
Overall, "Riot" presents a sad commentary on a world where escapism is only found in violence and alcohol.
