i watched us struck
struck by lightning fuck
you been out driving me into your dick
guiding me
boy/girl revolutionaries you and me
that's what you told me
so show me...i'll run you over...watch me

when you say it, say it is us two, too
true, you taught me how to shoot
and best pull up my skirt
and put up with hurt
boy/girl revolutionaries, you lied to me
boy/girl revolution tease

you think you're going far
but you're going nowhere
you think you're taking me
but I'm going elsewhere
I think it's high time I was already out there
Why don't you realize that you're going nowhere?

Mental...men-torn
you had your way, you had your say
you had your way with that girl
now come outta your world
struck by my good luck
face it, you're old and out of touch

prettier dead or just more effective
now we're hunting you and we're not being selective
it's about time you showed some respect
we're gonna trash the square world

boredom, rage, fierce intention
this is the sound of the revolution

post-tension realization
this is happening without your permission
the arrival of a new renegade
girl/boy hyper-nation

i like it that way

future girl vision yeah
this is the sound of revelation
this is the sound of the revolution
girl sound, her sound
her jazz, signals, our time now!

    I agree with des... Punk boys can be just as macho and bro as the bros themselves... I'll dig a little deeper with this and say it's about hetero encounters in the punk/anarchist movements, how everyone claims to be so against the state, and they claim to do whatever the fuck they want... But really, the power relations between the state and the people play out in the very relations between guys and girls in the scene. How punk guys carry their own privilege and power into the basic act of sex (and even in how they relate to each other as people), and oppress women by silencing them and using them. The girls don't see them as allies, but as oppressors in their own scene.

    Thank goddess* for riot grrrl.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
