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 by machines and drones
They've got us locked Into their sights 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 homes 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 pain 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.
