Liberation
Vision of Disorder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or your poor streets
Something that makes us strive
It's not the voice in my head
They place the blame on you
They place the blame on me
There's nothing you can do
Is it the desperation?
Is it the solemn faces in the tower?
Is it the weakness?
Convincing eyes-multiple
Contributing to the aggression
Take up arms upon you
That persuades me to
They claim the states in distress
Due to the rise in crime
I feel the manifest
Has broken far west
No one really cares so it's your death
Was it a suicide? Was it a homicide?
We are the ones who will suffer cause in 2001
Nothing has changed cause nothing was done
To control our resources to contain out pollutants
Well hemp could have saved the world
In fear of your economy
But you're too scared
Tripping, falling, locked out inside
Control, resist products that left us
Slipping, drowning, crumble down
It's running through our veins
Dwindled, endangered, dying extinct
It's gonna end this world
You say we caught this disease
Spread through your culture
We're growing every day
Your children turning to us
The pleasant way is gone
Cause it doesn't work
Restraint
Don't you think you've tasted
Yes this world you've wasted
The fruits of this life
This will be your restraint
The lyrics of Vision of Disorder's song Liberation are both poetic and thought-provoking. The band speaks of something that's deep within all of us, which drives us to strive for a better life, especially if we're living in a poor neighborhood. They blame society and everyone who refuses to see that the world needs change. The only thing left to do is to rebel, to take up arms and fight for what is right.
The lines "Is it the desperation? To change this world" present a picture of a world struggling to keep up with the times. The gang violence, the rise in crime rates, and the growing social and economic inequality fuel the desperation that drives people to rebel. The lyrics are a call to arms to everyone who wants change, to take charge and break the chains of oppression.
In the end, the song speaks of a world that's slowly dying. The environment is polluted, the resources are being depleted, and no one seems to care. The band blames society and the economy for refusing to embrace change and turning a blind eye to the reality of our world. The song is a warning, a plea, and a cry for help.
