The Answer
Soom T & Bus/Soom T & Bus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Step outside the bounds and take a
Big look at the times we live in.
Who appointed you?
You're just an avid image on my screen.
So take your bias point of view away from
My organic institution.
And now we D.A.R.E. to think ourselves!
(Look into your mind and guide.)
The answer's clear as day open your eyes!
Now kill me.
You killed the very thing that keeps us
Hanging on to our dear lives.
So, in a sense you bit the hand that feeds us
Just to kill your prophet now.
And with the coming generation at the torn seems
This is what you call progress
I call it shame!
The answer's waiting content.
(Look into your mind and guide.)
The answers clear as day open your eyes!
Now kill me.
What his law says.
What his law says.
What his law says may not be the stepping stone for you!
You killed the very thing that keeps us hanging on to our dear lives!
The Answer by Soom T & Bus is a powerful commentary on the times we live in and the societal structures that oppress and manipulate us. The song begins with the bold assertion to step outside the bounds and take a big look at the times we live in, challenging listeners to question the systems and institutions that shape our lives. The lyrics then call out those who have appointed themselves as authorities, reminding them that they are only avid images on our screens and urging them to take their bias point of view away from our organic institution. The chorus, "The answer's waiting content. Look into your mind and guide. The answer's clear as day open your eyes!" encourages listeners to think for themselves and find their own answers rather than blindly following those in power.
The song takes a darker turn in the second verse as it calls out those who "kill the very thing that keeps us hanging on to our dear lives," referring to those who destroy the natural world and exploit others for personal gain. The lyrics suggest that this destruction is not progress, but rather shame. The final lines of the song caution against blindly following the law without considering its impact on individuals and the planet as a whole.
Overall, The Answer is a call to action, urging listeners to question authority, think for themselves, and work towards a better world for all.
