Lack Of Faith
Vigilante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
... now is gone
They say that the children don't have...
... a tomorrow
spit it out again
scream it to the others
a youth who's not afraid
they say that your revolution...
... now is gone
They say that the children don't have...
... a tomorrow
spit it out again
scream it to the others
a youth who's not afraid
makes a little act of faith...
... once again
The lyrics of Vigilante's song "Lack of Faith" contain a powerful message about the struggle for revolution and the question of hope for future generations. The opening lines "they say that our revolution... now is gone" suggest a loss of momentum or a sense of defeatism in the face of oppression and resistance. The line "they say that the children don't have... a tomorrow" reinforces this sense of despair about the future.
The repeated refrain "spit it out again, scream it to the others" suggests a stirring call to action, a rallying cry for those who refuse to be silenced. This is echoed in the line "a youth who's not afraid makes a little act of faith." The word "faith" here is not meant in a religious sense, but rather as a belief in the possibility of change and a refusal to accept the status quo.
Overall, the message of "Lack of Faith" is a plea to keep the spirit of revolution alive, to refuse to give up hope, and to take action in the face of adversity. The use of repetition and emotive language serves to reinforce the urgency of the message.
