about
The actual song I-revolution is a mix of ideas. It’s essentially about hopes, beliefs, and action against tyranny. It touches primarily on the Arab Spring, Mohamed Bouazizi, the Cradle of Civilisation, while referencing Yeat’s poem The Second Coming ‘What rough beast awakes tonight’.
lyrics
I, Revolution
Gravity can bind confusion,
There’s weight in workers.
If the world collapsed upon itself,
The signal’s strong.
Graffiti on Great Wall gazing;
And on my fan-page…
My one good eye is trained upon the sun,
We’re logged on…
The cradle starts to rock.
The dreidel spins and stops.
The tables turn and lock.
The system stalls, then starts….
I, Revolution!
What rough beast awakes tonight!
I hear the movement!
A billion limbs, slow to rise!
Jordan’s banks will burn tonight!
If Zuckerburg can go to China
Upon a Trojan horse,
Like Gulliver the plans he wrought revolt,
The dissent grows.
Could Horus have inspired such power,
Would Christ have fled?
A man without a hope, an empty purse,
Who turns to fire.
The cradle starts to rock.
The dreidel spins and stops.
The tables turn and lock.
The system stalls, then starts….
I, Revolution!
What rough beast awakes tonight!
I hear the movement!
A billion limbs, slow to rise!
Jordan’s banks will burn tonight!
