Soa 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 Soa’s song “Warzone” depict the arrival of a group of aggressive and uninvited individuals, who come to a club to cause chaos and destruction. The lyrics warn the club owners to beware of them since they are not welcome but they do not care. This group is determined to tear the place apart and thrash from the start to the finish. The words “banzai” at the beginning of the song signify a Japanese battle cry, which further strengthens their intent to disrupt the peace.
The chorus advises the listeners not to be foolish or try to stop them since they are going to do whatever they want for the thrill of it. The lyrics describe the appearance of these individuals, their clothing, and demeanor. They wear chains, leather jackets, and boots in any weather conditions. They do not dress up for a show, but they look this way when they are at home. They are aggressive and dominating in their behavior, and they own the floor when their bands play. No one can stop them, and bouncers even get bounced when they get in their way. The lyrics convey a hint of sarcasm when it comes to violence. The song suggests that viewers may want to fight them, but the singer warns that they do not want to mess with them, as fighting one of them will mean fighting ten.
Overall, “Warzone” is a song about a group that is determined to cause destruction for the thrill of it. They are violent and aggressive in their behavior, and no one can stop them once they are determined to cause havoc. The lyrics suggest that it is better to leave them alone and not get into any confrontation with them.
