Walk Off the Earth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Throw out what the teacher said
The revolution's in my head
The revolution's in my head
Raise the mast and set your sails
Just say when,
Just say when,
Just say when, go!
I've got a fever that I can't control
I'm knee-deep and I don't even know my name
I forgot about it.
I'm on fire, I'm a burning coal,
We can't fight it 'cause we never sold the flame,
Not for love or money.
Close your eyes and take my hand
Silenced by the driving sound
The revolution's in my head
The revolution's in my head
Raise your fist, and stand your ground, go!
I've got a fever that I can't control
I'm knee-deep and I don't even know my name
I forgot about it.
I'm on fire, I'm a burning coal,
We can't fight it 'cause we never sold the flame,
Not for love or money.
Hey hey, you know we're never coming down
Hey hey, you know we're never coming down
Hey hey, you know we're never coming down
Hey hey, you know we're never coming down
Hey hey, you know we're never coming down
Hey hey, you know we're never coming down
Hey hey, you know we're never coming down
Hey hey, you know we're never coming down
We're never coming down
The revolution's in my head
You know we're never coming down
I've got a fever that I can't control
I'm knee-deep and I don't even know my name
I forgot about it.
I'm on fire, I'm a burning coal,
We can't fight it 'cause we never sold the flame,
Not for love or money.
Just say when,
Just say when,
Just say when,
Just say when,
Not for love or money
Yeah, we're never coming down
The lyrics of "REVO" by Walk Off the Earth speaks of a revolution that's happening in someone's mind, which demands a rejection of what the teacher or the society has conditioned them to believe. The person is consumed by a fever that they can't control, but it gives them a sense of purpose and power. They feel as if they're burning coal, and there's nothing stopping the fire. They have forgotten their name, but it doesn't matter because they're a part of a greater revolution. This revolution inspires people to raise their mast and set their sails, to stand their ground and raise their fists. The call for the revolution is so intense that they claim they're never coming down.
The song "REVO" is an anthem for all those who feel the need for change, the urge to question the status quo and think for themselves. The lyrics speak of a revolution that's not just political but personal, subversive, and emotional. The intensity of the song is highlighted by the repetition of the phrase "just say when" and "Hey hey, you know we're never coming down," creating a sense of collective energy and rebelliousness. The song captures the spirit of a generation that's disillusioned with the system and is ready to make a change.

Close your eyes and take my hand
Trust me, follow me, and let's go
Throw out what the teacher said
Forget the rules, the norms and the standards
The revolution's in my head
I have a vision, an idea, a desire for change
Raise the mast and set your sails
The journey has begun, let's take control of our destiny
Just say when, go!
Let's not hesitate, let's go for it now
I've got a fever that I can't control
My passion, my energy, my drive, it's overwhelming
I'm knee-deep and I don't even know my name
I'm immersed in this, I'm lost in it, but it feels right
We can't fight it 'cause we never sold the flame
The fire that fuels us was always there, it's in our DNA
Close your eyes and take my hand
Once again, follow me, I'll lead you to change
The revolution's in my head
This is more than an idea, it's become my identity
Raise your fist, and stand your ground, go!
We're not alone, let's unite and take action
Hey hey, you know we're never coming down
We've gone too far to turn back, there's no stopping us now
We're never coming down
Our passion, our fire, it will keep us moving forward
Just say when, not for love or money
We won't sell out, compromise, or back down for anything
Yeah, we're never coming down
Our revolution, our change, it will last forever

Only Walk Off the Earth can cover their own song, and still do it better than the original.

@MistaMeowmers
I love how these guys play, using instruments that are so simple, but interesting and effective. Also, I love the part when Giovanni says 'get goin'"
@MistaMeowmers
AND the fact that nearly everyone in WoTE are multi-instrument and can play practically the same things as the others. That's dedication.
@marcwate4035
2019 and WOTE is still doing great music! Beard Guy is gone, but his spirit lives on!
