Destabilise Lyrics

Today for the very first time
We started planning out the ultimate crime
Locking together to destroy this cold stasis
Rory C, what’s your thesis?
"I don’t fucking believe this!"
Institutions are established and invested
Pause to ask, "Are they tried and tested?"
No, just force-fed and digested
It’s about time we damn contested

You can’t stain us
You can’t contain us
You can’t destabilise, divide or label us

You can’t stain us
You can’t contain us
You can’t destabilise
(Destabilise)

Now they’re cracking under pressure from our force
('Cause we know)
'Cause we don’t belong here
So we’re rising through the stubborn assault course
('But we’re stuck in the middle)
'Cause we don’t belong here
We don’t belong here
We don’t belong here

Our minds are dormant and static
Don’t ever respect conventional thought without reason
We need to fucking erupt!

Corrupted fucking tyrants
Instigating violence
In sporadic discordance
We'll find maximum assurance

Now they’re cracking under pressure from our force
('Cause we know)
'Cause we don’t belong here
So we’re rising through the stubborn assault course
('But we’re stuck in the middle)
'Cause we don’t belong here
We don’t belong here

Now they’re cracking under pressure from our force
'Cause we don’t belong here
So we’re rising through the stubborn assault course

This is the calm before the storm
One last siege to break the norm
So I can lie here on the floor
Beside you

No one owns the oceans
No one owns the mountains
No one owns us
No one owns us

We’ve all inherited this world
We need to fucking erupt!
'Cause this earth is ours!

We need to fucking erupt!
Yeah!

Now they’re cracking under pressure from our force
('Cause we know)
'Cause we don’t belong here
So we’re rising through the stubborn assault course
'Cause we don’t belong here

Now they’re cracking under pressure from our force
'Cause we don’t belong here
So we’re rising through the stubborn assault course
'Cause we don’t belong here

This is the calm before the storm
One last siege to break the norm
So I can lie here on the floor
Beside you

I think it's basically stating that you shouldn't let people tell who/what you are. You're the only one who can label you, and everyone else can fuck themselves. WE NEED TO TAKE CONTROL, or as Shikari says "WE NEED TO FUCKING ERUPT!"

Song Meaning
Cover art for Destabilise lyrics by Enter Shikari

I remember reading somewhere, in like mid january, that this song was a prediction of a revolution. Acouple of days later, the shit hit the fan. Now im thinking that Enter Shikari totally predicted the revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya. But, I may be just completely out of my damn mind.

I must be too because I totally agree with you.

Sick, first comment. This song is epic, Shikari just get better and better.

This is the call to arms, no longer will they oppress us, no longer will we cower in fear. "The Lions are at the Door, We ain't taking order from Snakes no more!"

Just saw Enter Shikari 3 days ago. Before this song they went into an explanation of what it's about. Its basically them saying fuck capitalism because of how greedy, corrupt, and oppressive of a system it is.
