wanna to wake up
I wanna wake up
We're howlin' in the darkness, we'll come down. We're howlin' in the darkness, we'll come down
We're howlin' in the darkness, we'll come down. We're howlin' in the darkness, we'll come down
Well you're dreaming if you're living by the rules
'Cause it's seeming, if you ever watch the news
You can pick and choose you're universal truths and you can't be touched, you can't be wrong, no matter who's the fool
Let the world eat your shame, 'cause we're all gonna taste the same when the cannibals come. When the cannibals come
The lyrics to "Dawn of the Dead" by Station X (R.I.P.) portray a sense of awakening and rebellion against societal norms. The repeated line, "I wanna wake up," suggests a desire to break free from the mundane and conventional ways of living. By howling in the darkness and eventually coming down, the lyrics hold a symbolism of stepping out of the shadows and embracing one's true self.
The lyrics also comment on the media and its influence on shaping people's perspectives. Living by the rules and consuming news can make one feel trapped and controlled. The line, "You can pick and choose your universal truths," suggests that the media presents a distorted version of reality, allowing individuals to cherry-pick information that aligns with their own beliefs.
The chorus, "Let the world eat your shame, 'cause we're all gonna taste the same when the cannibals come," carries a powerful message about embracing vulnerability and breaking down social barriers. The idea is that when faced with a common threat or challenge, differences and judgments become irrelevant. It urges listeners to shed their shame and unite in the face of adversity.
Overall, "Dawn of the Dead" is a song that encourages individuality, questions societal norms, and promotes unity in the face of shared struggles.
