Sunnata Lyrics

Fight the riot
Look ahead
Inner fire
Inner fire
Be aware
Prey, Oh, Prey, Oh
Fight the riot
Fight the riot
Look ahead
Inner fire
Inner fire
Be aware
Prey
Oh
Prey
Oh
Riot, riot, riot, riot
And I, and I
Staring into (the) realm of clear mind
And I, and I
This will make a man fall apart
So defined, so defined
Again and again it drowns him down
So defined, so defined
Riot'll always be around and around
Around
Around
Fight the riot
Look ahead
Inner fire
Be aware
Fight the riot (Fight the riot)
Look ahead
Inner fire (Inner fire)
Be aware
The lyrics of Sunnata's song Gordian Knot address the idea of fighting against internal conflict and chaos. The repetition of the phrase "fight the riot" emphasizes this theme and encourages the listener to stay vigilant and focused. The use of the phrase "inner fire" suggests that the source of strength needed to overcome these internal struggles comes from within. The repeated use of "prey" reinforces the idea that these inner conflicts can become consuming forces if not addressed directly.
The lyrics also express a sense of inevitability in the struggle against the "riot" within. The repeated use of "so defined" suggests that these struggles are a fundamental part of the human experience and cannot be avoided. The lines "this will make a man fall apart" and "riots always be around and around" further illustrate the difficulty of overcoming these internal conflicts.
Overall, the lyrics of Gordian Knot encourage the listener to be aware of their internal struggles, find strength in their own inner fire, and continue to fight against the inevitable chaos that exists within.

Bardzo lubię, gdy na Waszych filmach Amerykanie piszą "you guys must come to the US!". Ale jest z czego być dumnym.
Dobrze, że daliście wersję z albumu, bo wtedy jakiś dureń ciągle wrzeszczał "SUNNATA! NAPIERDALAĆ!" w straszliwie złych momentach, i totalnie psuło mi to wczuwkę. No ale wpadnę na kolejny koncert myślę, Wy wyszliście zajebiście.
Muza oczywiście miażdży jak zawsze Panowie.
