Hibernate
Unleashed Power Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
for all its intent the crisis remain
not to read and write
a disease we must fight
impervious to the lasting effect
which carries through life
as a strong defect
not to read and write
a disease we must fight
incarcerated by no insight
because of this fallacy
unaware of an event
imposing this malady
inveigled by false intent
delete the education
culminate in ignorance
knowledge in hibernation
wait to have deliverance
words spoken but not read
how can we escape this dread
no one reads no one writes
must secure our birth rights
the power inside subject to arise
in hibernation waiting to devise
not to read and write
a disease we must fight
incarcerated by no insight
incapable of literacy
awareness has been reduced
by their inadequacy
lunacy has been induced
The lyrics to "Hibernate" by Unleashed Power highlight the issue of illiteracy and how it affects a person's life. The first verse talks about a defective machine which is indicative of how the education system is failing to equip individuals with the necessary skills. Despite its intent to resolve the crisis, the crisis remains. The repetition of "not to read and write, a disease we must fight, incarcerated by no insight" emphasizes how illiteracy can trap an individual and prevent them from achieving their potential.
The second verse delves deeper into the impact of illiteracy, stating that it results in a lasting effect, leading to a strong defect. The fallacy of illiteracy is imposing a malady on individuals, inveigling them with false intent. The bridge -- "delete the education, culminate in ignorance, knowledge in hibernation, wait to have deliverance" -- talks about how the lack of education leads to ignorance, and people end up waiting for their deliverance from this situation.
The chorus is a call to action: "no one reads no one writes, must secure our birthrights, the power inside subject to arise, in hibernation waiting to devise." The power inside refers to the potential within individuals, which is lying dormant due to the lack of education. The song ends on a pessimistic note, stating that illiteracy has reduced awareness, and ineptitude has induced lunacy. Overall, the lyrics encourage the need for education to unlock one's potential.
