Description

According to Matt, in this track along with Defector, the protagonist of the story takes again control of his life and fights against the dark forces who are trying to control him.[1]

Matt said that Revolt its about: "Inspire and encourage people to believe in themselves".[2]

In a french review, Revolt is said to be a "pop" song that sounds like U2's "With or Without You". Matt's voice "sounds strange" and makes "brutal" climbs into falsetto. The song apparently has the catchiest chorus in the album.[3] According to NME, Revolt is one of their most creative songs; "A two-speed storm built on monumental riffs"[4]

Lyrics

How did we get in so much trouble?

Getting out just seems impossible Opression is persisting I can't fight this brain conditioning

Our freedom's just a loan Run machines and drones

They've got us locked Soon, they'll control What's left inside

Don't try to hide it Don't tell me it's not there You've got strenght, you've got soul You've felt pain, you've felt love You can grow, you can grow You can make this world what you want You can revolt, you can revolt, you can revolt.

Can you hear a distant thunder? Taste earth's blood and hunger We live in a toxic jungle Truth is suppressed to mumbles

They'll take away our home They're just machines and drones

Don't try to fight it Don't tell you can't see You've got strenght, you've got soul You've felt pain, you've felt love You can grow, you can grow You can make this world what you want You can revolt, you can revolt, you can revolt.

I can feel your pian I can feel your confusion I can see you're trapped in a maze let's find a way to escape

You've got strenght, you've got soul You've felt pain, you've felt love You can grow, you can grow You can make this world what you want You can revolt, you can revolt, you can revolt.
