Put on your war paint (get ready for a fight) You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground (something is holding me back) We are the jack-o-lanterns in July setting fire to the sky (we are different and fall out of line, out of conformity and will cause a stir/troubles/change) Here, here comes this rising tide, so come on (a wave of us is coming) Put on your war paint Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies (promises made) Silver clouds with grey linings (promises are all fake always have a catch or condition - the grey part of the silver) So we can take the world back from a heart attack (the world is about to destroy itself and we have to save it) One maniac at a time we will take it back (only the brave and the nonconformists/risk takers/people who think differently will be able to seize back control of how the american system works (also western civilization in general i believe can be inferred as well)) You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start So dance alone to the beat of your heart (time will pass you by and nothing will happen so do something now, stop waiting for other people to solve your problems) Hey young blood, doesn't it feel like our time is running out? (speaking directly to youth obviously, a collapse seems to be coming, we have to prevent it) I'm gonna change you like a remix (start over, and think for yourself) Then I'll raise you like a phoenix (newly born individual free of conformity) Wearing our vintage misery (still wearing the clothes we bought when were still just a 'consumer' - walking brands) No, I think it looked a little better on me (joke that our style still makes us look cool) I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix Bring home the boys and scrap scrap metal the tanks (move money out of defense and the army, bring us back to home, to fix it) Get hitched, make a career out of robbing banks (get married/do whatever you want and get ready to start upending the current financial system) Because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black masks (literally bank teller, the banks are controlling everything and we will steal away their power but we will be anonymous when we are doing this) "You broke our spirit," says the note we pass (you will think our spirit is broken but it's a lie, we will not be subjugated anymore) So we can take the world back from a heart attack One maniac at a time we will take it back You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start So dance alone to the beat of your heart Hey young blood, doesn't it feel like our time is running out? I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix Wearing our vintage misery No, I think it looked a little better on me I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix Put on your war paint The war is won, before it's begun Release the doves, surrender love (people already have the power of love inside fo them, and love can conquer all, love for each other that we all inherently have is what will save us in the end) The war is won, before it's begun Release the doves, surrender love The war is won, before it's begun Release the doves, surrender love The war is won, before it's begun (Wave the white flag!) Release the doves, surrender love (Wave the white flag!) (telling the system to just quit and give up control so that we can be truly free) Hey young blood, doesn't it feel like our time is running out? I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix Wearing our vintage misery No, I think it looked a little better on me I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix Hey young blood, doesn't it feel like our time is running out? I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix Put on your war paint |
