Hey everybody! It's time for Music Monday again! This week, I thought I would change it up just a bit. I've been thinking, and I think that The Rebellion needs some sort of unofficial theme song. So, I got to thinking. I had several in mind, but I think I picked the perfect one! So, here it is!
---------
Song: "The Resistance"
Artist: Anberlin
Album: New Surrender
----------
"The Resistance" is exactly the song that explains what this is all about. It is a fast paced rocker that will get your adrenaline pumping. The lyrics in this song depict exactly what The Rebellion is all about. It starts out by addressing the people who are against it.
"You wanna watch us break?
Be the first to take us down
but your teeth are worn
and there's no stopping us now."
How much better can it get? As you saw in the last post, and likely experienced yourself, people want to watch us break. They want to see this all crumble and become nothing. However, they will slowly lose their grip on us, because there's no stopping us now.
----------
So, what happens when people try to stop us? Well, we have to hold together. Which, conveniently, is what the second verse to the song is about!
"Silent alarms are ringing
sounds of revolt draw near
a new united front
that you will come to fear
We will hold together
to become the change
voice for the voiceless
with every common man engaged."
I love this! People will begin to hear "silent alarms." They will sense that something is about to happen, something big. The revolt is coming. We will become the united front, and we will stand up side by side to become the change. We are the change.
---------
So what happens when we stand together and become the change? Well, people can either choose to watch or join in on the fun.
"Ignite and watch us burn
til every embers turn
man kind will feel inspired
when we set your walls to fire."
There's a fire that has been lit under us. It's a fire of passion and desire. It is one that is going to cause the change. It will be the change that will make "man kind feel inspired."
---------
This song is the perfect song for The Rebellion! I hope you all will go check it out, because it is the rally call for us. We have to stand together, and we will cause the change that makes man kind feel inspired! After all, WHO CAN STOP US?
