Trik Turner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time is never on your side
When you wish it would just end
One minute lasts forever
Each day that passes by
Intensifies
My hate toward these systems that dictate
How I'm allowed to feel
Under their regulations
Tied
Down for too long
Don't
Tell me I can't
Have
What I want
Or is there such a thing called freedom
Millions of names remain unidentified
A bar code is a face you cannot recognize
Forgotten-no one wants to hear about
The forgotten-they don't care I've been
Tied
Down for too long
Don't
Tell me I can't
Have
What I want
Or is there such a thing called freedom
These walls are closing in
Guide me to the light
Show me a better way
For the bread I eat has become stale-oh
Each day that passes by
Intensifies
My hate toward these systems that dictate
How I'm allowed to live
How I'm allowed to feel
Under their regulations
Show me a better way
For I've been
Tied
Down for too long
Don't
Tell me I can't
Have
What I want
Or is there such a thing called freedom (X2)
The song "Tower 6" by Trik Turner is about the frustration and anger felt towards the systems and regulations that dictate our lives. The lyrics talk about how time is always against us, and we feel tied down by the restrictions put in place by society. The singer believes in freedom and questions whether such a thing really exists, or if it's just an illusion. The lyrics also touch upon how humans are treated as mere numbers or barcodes that can easily be forgotten.
The singer expresses his intense hatred towards the oppressive systems that control our lives, making it hard for us to be who we want to be and feel what we want to feel. He wants to break free from these restrictions and live life on his terms. He feels that the walls are closing in on him, and he yearns for a better way of living. The song is a powerful anthem that speaks to people who feel suffocated by the rules and regulations of society.
Overall, "Tower 6" is a well-crafted song that perfectly captures the feelings of frustration and anger that many people experience in their daily lives. It's a call to action for those who want to break free from the chains of society, and live a life of freedom and authenticity.
