Overall Meaning

The R.E.G.Project's "Passion" is a poignant and thought-provoking song that critiques the culture of empty rhetoric and hollow promises that pervades our society. The repeated lines "empty prayer, empty mouths" suggest a sense of disillusionment and frustration with the way people express themselves without any real emotional investment or follow-through. The line "not everyone can carry the weight of the world" acknowledges the difficulty of trying to make a difference in the face of so much apathy and inertia.


The repeated refrain "talk about the passion" can be interpreted in a few different ways. On one level, it could be seen as a call to action - an exhortation to actually do something about the problems that we face rather than just talking about them. On another level, it could be seen as a kind of challenge - a reminder that real change requires a deep and genuine love for the things that we are fighting for. In either case, the song is a powerful reminder that words alone are not enough - we need to back up our talk with action if we want to make a difference.
