Rebels
coopertheband Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't take it anymore
Dive, try to feel something
Scream, I don't hear anything
I watched the hours go by
I heard this town was supposed to be quite
Half way there
We're not scared
You and me
Night, painted in neon
I've rebels to lean on
This town is alive in the firework glow
But what do we know
No sleep tonight
I'll stop trying to fight it
Half way there
We're not scared
I can't breathe
You and me
I watched the hours go by
I heard this town was supposed to be quite
No sleep tonight
I'll stop trying to fight it
Half way there
We're not scared
I can't breathe
You and me
Half way there
Were not scared
I can't breathe
You and me
The lyrics to "Rebels" by coopertheband paint a picture of two young people who are seeking freedom and excitement in their lives. The song opens with them driving, with the singer's feet on the dashboard, feeling restless and desperate for something to change. They want to feel something, anything, and they scream, but no one hears them. As they make their way towards their destination, they realize that they're not afraid of whatever lies ahead.
The night is painted in neon, and they have fellow rebels to lean on. The town they're in is alive with the glow of fireworks, but they're not sure what they're supposed to know. They know they won't be sleeping tonight, but they're no longer trying to fight it. The chorus repeats with the realization that they've made it halfway - they're not scared, but they still can't breathe. In the end, it's just the two of them, together, trying to find meaning in their lives.
The song speaks to the human condition of feeling trapped and yearning for something more. Through its lyrics, coopertheband creates a narrative of two people who are trying to break free and find themselves. The song's chorus serves as a reminder that sometimes, it's important to take a deep breath, push through your fears and anxieties, and continue on your journey towards self-discovery.

Drive, feet on the dashboard
Driving with feet up on the dashboard
I can't take it anymore
Feeling overwhelmed and exhausted
Dive, try to feel something
Desperately seeking an emotional experience
Scream, I don't hear anything
Feeling disconnected from reality and numb
I watched the hours go by
Passing time without any sense of purpose or engagement
I heard this town was supposed to be quite
Expecting something different from the current surroundings
Half way there
Reaching the midpoint of a journey
We're not scared
Feeling brave and fearless
I can't breathe
Feeling suffocated and trapped
You and me
Together in this experience
Night, painted in neon
The vibrant, electric atmosphere of the night
I've rebels to lean on
Finding support and escape in a group of nonconformists
This town is alive in the firework glow
Experiencing the town's liveliness and energy through fireworks
But what do we know
Acknowledging ignorance and uncertainty in the face of new experiences
No sleep tonight
Anticipating a restless night ahead
I'll stop trying to fight it
Resigning oneself to the situation and giving in
Half way there
Reaching the midpoint of a journey
We're not scared
Feeling brave and fearless
I can't breathe
Feeling suffocated and trapped
You and me
Together in this experience
I watched the hours go by
Passing time without any sense of purpose or engagement
No sleep tonight
Anticipating a restless night ahead
I'll stop trying to fight it
Resigning oneself to the situation and giving in
Half way there
Reaching the midpoint of a journey
We're not scared
Feeling brave and fearless
I can't breathe
Feeling suffocated and trapped
You and me
Together in this experience
Half way there
Reaching the midpoint of a journey
Were not scared
Feeling brave and fearless
I can't breathe
Feeling suffocated and trapped
You and me
Together in this experience
