My loose interpretation upon first hard listen: “Have you heard before, hit it out, don't look back Rock is the medium of our generation Stand for every right, kick it out, hear you shout For the right of all of creation” We often fight for our own benefits and not for everyone’s benefits. This is a call to action: “don’t look back” from “the right of all of creation.” “We've heard before, but we just don't seem to move The pressure's on is there lack of concentration” Why do we hesitate to help others? We hear their cries but do nothing. We surely have a “lack of concentration” on what matters. “Power defy our needs, lift us up, show us now Show us how amid the rack of confusion Drive in thoughts of high, satisfy, in a plan Set it out for all to understand it” Those in power are set on furthering their agenda, not ours. Not sure what the rest means. “Lost and wondering, maybe, how it is Seems to me, it's as simple as this No matter, where you go, you're going to find You won't see me in front, but you can't leave me behind” You can try to leave the natural world behind, but you can’t. You are one with creation. “Power at first to the needs of each others' days Simple to lose in the void sounds of anarchy's calling ways All unaccounted for in the craziness of power In the craziness” Think about today, not tomorrow. Do note that this isn’t anarchy. Too much power (not just political) will make you lose touch. “Release all, release all, or abandon your hope for your brother Release all, release all, or abandon your hope for your sister Release, release, enough controllers Show some signs of appreciated loyalties Release, release, enough controllers Show some signs of appreciated loyalties” Release your power for the sake of others. Not exactly sure what appreciated loyalties means. Maybe something to do with appreciating the community as a whole by releasing your power. “Straight jacket, freedom's march, is it all, far beyond Our reason of understanding Campaign everything, anti-right, anti-left Anticipate the love of creation” Rhetorical question. Everyone can think about how we could live in peace. Think for everyone behind the veil of ignorance. Realize we are one with creation. “Stand for every right Kick it out, hear you shout Further the right Further the right Further the right Of all of creation” Similar to the previous statement. |
