Overall Meaning

The Juliana Theory's song "To The Tune Of 5000 Screaming Children" is a powerful call to arms for those who are tired of being told what to do and think by others. The opening lines of the song make it clear that the band is fully aware of the fact that there will be people who will not like what they have to say, but they do not care. They are functioning on the subjective opinions of those who would hate them even before they wrote the song.


The lyrics are a powerful rebuke to anyone who would try to pigeonhole The Juliana Theory into a particular category or make them part of their "revolution." The band is not interested in being a part of anyone else's agenda or having anyone dictate to them what they should or should not do. They are determined to make their own way and their own insurrection.


In essence, the song is an anthem for anyone who has ever felt frustrated with the limitations placed upon them by society, by peers, or even by themselves. It is a call to break free of the constraints of others' expectations and stand up for oneself.
