The Blackout Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heads held high we defy everything that you demand.
Don't try to fake your way again, we can see through your disguise.
Don't try to snake away again, we will find out where you hide.
If you can't find a reason to believe
The lies that make up all their promises.
They're tearing at the seams, and all we see are broken dreams,
This is our fight, this is our right, this is where wake ourselves,
To the truth, and remove the grip that you once held.
Sell up, sell out to scrape your way ahead.
Get up, get out and pay your way again.
Put up, put out to raise you from the dead.
Sell up, sell out, now we're seeing fucking red.
If you can't find a reason to believe
The lies that make up all their promises.
They're tearing at the seams, and all we see are broken dreams,
So say, no not today, no not today.
We won't take one more betrayal,
They line their hands with blood and sweat of you and I.
If you can't find a reason to believe
The lies that make up all their promises.
They're tearing at the seams, and all we see are broken dreams,
So say, no not today, no not today.

Heads held high we defy everything that you demand", set the tone for the entire song and deliver a message to those in positions of authority that their days of deception and control are numbered.
The chorus, "If you can't find a reason to believe the lies that make up all their promises. They're tearing at the seams, and all we see are broken dreams, so say, no not today, no not today", highlights the frustration that arises when someone feels that their trust has been betrayed. The lyrics urge listeners to not be passive and accept an unfair situation, but rather to actively resist and speak out against it. The final verse states, "We won't take one more betrayal, they line their hands with blood and sweat of you and I", emphasizing the idea that those in power are exploiting and even hurting the people they are supposed to serve.
Overall, "This Is Our Time" is a powerful call to action that encourages individuals to speak out and take a stand against those who abuse their power. The lyrics convey a sense of empowerment, emphasizing that every individual has the power to make a difference.
