THE STORM
The Y Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I refuse to let power go
Concocting seven steps
To stay
And never let the people know
Betray my allies
Rile the masses
Say I'll meet them at the steps
Pay attention patriots
Now is the time
To all the cowards
That follow me blind
Manipulating
Calling to action
Bringing all the rage
Boiling over
In their minds
Consuming lies
Fueled by their hatred
Empty promises were made
To bring them to the brink of madness
On this devastating day
Hearing promise from their leader
Beckoning to heed his call
They stole it from me
Count again
Everyone knows that can't be all
They're all against me
It's conspiracy
How dare they try to get rid of me
Faking numbers
Missing counts
I know they're trying to throw me out
Leaving home
For futile venture
Convinced that their will is fair
You see the masses fast approaching
Oh my god
They're everywhere
Clowns in a circle
Gathering
In the cold
Clowns in a circle
Mustering their extreme courage
Clowns in a circle
Fighting like hell
Clowns in a circle
Surging into the halls
Clowns in a circle
Demanding false truth
Clowns in a circle
Coming for blood
Clowns in a circle
Trading one dumb mongrel for another
The Y's song "The Storm" is a call to arms against societal norms and racial tensions between Black and White. The song is a powerful statement of solidarity and unity, with the band urging people to fight against the established order and work together towards a common goal.
Through its lyrics, the band challenges the system by questioning the distinctions between Black and White, and inviting everyone to unite in a fight against the social norm. The words "Fight against the social norm, Fuck with one, feel our circle's storm" indicate the energy, passion, and urgency with which they view the struggle.
The line "Bootboys skinheads, all the same, stress our cause, that's our aim" suggest that The Y's are not just talking about superficial differences between skin colors, but are addressing deeper issues of hatred and bigotry that run deep in society. The song ends with a call to action that suggests that they won't stop until the day they have won.
