The Revolution
theAngelcy Lyrics

The revolution is a hungry beast
The movement for change craves for more and more power, and is not satisfied with what has been achieved so far.

And I wish it stopped
As the revolution becomes more violent and out of control, the singer wishes it would come to an end.

But it never stops
The revolution keeps going and going, without any signs of slowing down or stopping completely.

It just always wants more
The revolutionary forces are not content with what they have won so far, and always demand more from those in power.

Power and control
The ultimate goal of the revolution is to seize power and control over the society and the government.

They always tell you
Those in power use propaganda and rhetoric to persuade the masses that they are working for the common good.

They are on your side
Those in power say that they are fighting for the oppressed and the marginalized, representing their interests and aspirations.

They're trying to do what's right
Those in power claim that they are guided by moral principles and a sense of justice, and are pursuing the greater good for all.

For the whole world through
The goal of those in power is not limited to a particular country or region, but extends to the entire world.

They're trying to fix the world
Those in power see themselves as agents of change, whose mission is to repair the broken aspects of the world.

For me and you
The benefits of the revolution are promised to every individual, regardless of their background, status, or affiliation.

But they're the ones
Contrary to their claims of benevolence, those in power are the ones who are responsible for the crimes and atrocities committed against the people.

Who are bombing people
Those in power are using military force to maintain their grip on power, often causing harm and destruction to civilians.

And are killing people
Those in power are not reluctant to use lethal force against their opponents, or anyone who poses a threat to their rule.

Innocent people
Many of the victims of the crackdowns and persecutions of the regime are innocent of any wrongdoing, and have nothing to do with the rebellion.

And are torturing people
Those in power resort to torture and other forms of violence to intimidate and punish their enemies, and extract information from them.

And are making lie
The propaganda machine of the regime is constantly producing false narratives and distorted versions of reality, in order to justify its actions.

After lie after lie after lie
The amount of deception and falsehoods propagated by the regime is staggering and never-ending.

And they never listen
Those in power are deaf to the voices of dissent and criticism, and reject any form of dialogue or negotiation with their opponents.

To anyone but themselves
The only perspective that matters to those in power is their own, and they are not interested in other people's opinions or experiences.

I wonder if
The singer expresses doubt and skepticism about the intentions and actions of the power holders.

Anyone really cares
The question is raised whether anyone in the society truly cares about the well-being of others or whether everybody is driven by self-interest.

For the prime minister
The reference to the prime minister highlights the personal and human dimension of politics, and the emotions and vulnerabilities of those in power.

Does anyone ever listen to him
The question is asked as to whether the prime minister's voice and message are being heard and understood by the people.

I mean really listen
The plea is made for deeper and more empathetic listening, that goes beyond superficial or ideological judgements.

To his sorrow and fright
The prime minister is shown as a person who experiences pain, sadness, and fear, like everyone else.

When he's full of anger
The prime minister is also capable of feeling rage and indignation, when he perceives injustice or opposition to his authority.

When he's full of anguish
The prime minister is not immune to suffering and distress, when he witnesses the suffering of others or the consequences of his actions.

When he's full of fear
The prime minister is vulnerable to fear and uncertainty, when he faces threats to his power or safety.

When he's full of doubt
The prime minister is not always sure of his decisions, and may have doubts about the course of action he has chosen.

In the dark dark night
The metaphor of darkness underscores the bleak and oppressive nature of the political climate, where it is hard to see a way out.

Can anyone bear him
The question is raised whether the people are willing and able to tolerate the prime minister's weaknesses and imperfections.

In the dark dark night
The repetition of the phrase emphasizes the sense of despair and hopelessness that pervades the scene.

We should all give up a little bit
The singer advocates for a more cooperative and flexible attitude, where everyone is willing to make some concessions for the sake of the common good.

Of having it our way
The reference is made to the tendency of individuals and groups to pursue their own interests and agendas, without regard for others.

Our way or the highway
The dialectic between individualism and collectivism is framed as a choice between self-determination and exclusion from the social fabric.

To hell on earth
The imagery of 'hell on earth' conveys the dire consequences of the escalation of the conflict and the failure of the revolution.

And maybe listen
The suggestion is made to listen more attentively to those in power, in order to better understand their motivations and intentions.

A little bit
The qualifier 'a little bit' implies that the listening should not be total or uncritical, but rather selective and discerning.

To the prime minister
The emphasis is put on the importance of listening to the person who holds the highest position of authority in the government.
