Speak Lyrics
They've given me a mission
I don't really know the game yet
I'm bent on submission
Religion is to blame
I'm the new messiah
Death Angel with a gun
Dangerous in my silence
Deadly to my cause
Speak to me the pain you feel
Speak the word (Revolution)
The word is all of us
I've given my life to become what I am
To preach the new beginning
To make you understand
To reach some point of order
Utopia in mind, you've got to learn
To sacrifice, to leave what's now behind
Speak to me the pain you feel
Speak the word
The word is all of us
Speak the word
The word is all of us
Seven years of power
The corporation claw
The rich control the government, the media the law
To make some kind of difference
Then everyone must know
Eradicate the fascists, revolution will grow
The system we learn says we're equal under law
But the streets are reality, the weak and poor will fall
Let's tip the power balance and tear down their crown
Educate the masses, We'll burn the White House down
Speak to me the pain you feel
Speak to me the pain you feel
Speak the word (Revolution)
The word is all of us
Speak the word (Revolution)
The word is all of us
Speak the word
The word is all of us
Speak the Word
The word is all of us
SPEAK!!!
Exodus is right that this is about how passionately Nikki feels about his new role as the "angel with a gun", but there's something else too. He's not just a devil with a gun, but an angel, and he's going around getting the testimony of the "weak and poor", enlisting their tacit or passive alliance in X's cause.
Problem with this brand of lunacy is it's both sane and rational, and raises valid complaints, which will never be addressed, let alone redressed, in our regime.
This part of "Mindcrime" shows how Nicky originally feels about the things he's doing. He thinks he's doing what needs to be done. Killing for a better future.
Speak is an excellent song. He says "Religion is to blame," so he isn't speaking to the real God. To him, God is Dr. X. He thinks of himself as "the new messiah" because he is the messenger of "God."
Great Song.
This is one of the greatest songs ever
^ This album is incredible
He's feeling uneasy with god. In The Mission he falls in love with Mary. She "washes his sins away". He's calling to god, telling him to speak to him.
@emberobin I'm not saying god is real and that everything is about god and you should trust him and shit, that's really what this song is about. Mary is a fucking nun. It does sound like I'm a church nut, but I assure you that I don't believe in that stuff, and that's not my interpretation for everything. There is no reason for you to downrate it.

@emberobin He wants to lord to "Speak to him". Just one interpretation. It could have a double meaning, both wanting people to cry revolution, but he's a death angel, meaning that he obviously feels something morally wrong because of religion.
