Wow look at me go! Two days in a row! I'm a poet and...well..ok..so I know it but that is besides the point! Yesterday's lyrical content has got me on this whole new kick and so without hesitation, I offer up the following lyrics for today's quote.
" Rise up and take the power back, it's time the fat cats had a heart attack, you know that their time is coming to an end. We have to unify and watch our flag ascend. They will not force us. They will stop degrading us. They will not control us. We will be victorious!" Muse
This is the type of song that I listen to when I am feeling just that little bit rebellious against life in general. This is my "put that in your pipe and smoke it" song. I am almost positive that the song is talking about corporate greed and corrupt governments, however, I think the song is applicable to any situation in life where we need to just stand up for what WE believe in, instead of what we are being told to believe in. This is a song for the victims who are no longer willing to take being victimized. This could mean standing up against bullies, racism, religious persecution, sexism or any other situation where we are going against what we know is truly just and fair. Maybe you are not getting the raise you know you deserve, maybe you're tired of not being picked for a team because you know it is really just a popularity contest and has nothing to do with actual skill and maybe you just want your spouse to start doing their fair share around the house. This song fits in all circumstances because there are always times when we, as people, tend to want to scream "enough is enough". To me this is what these lyrics are all about. Taking a stand and allowing no one to use us for their own personal gain. It is about taking control of the direction our lives are going in, deciding what we will and will not tolerate and demanding the respect we are owed simply because we ARE equal to everyone else. We are all made of flesh and bone. We all think, feel and bleed just like any other person on the planet and this makes us equal. Sure, we all have different backgrounds, cultures and skills, we have not all been graced with good looks or overflowing bank accounts, but that does not make us any less human. It just makes us different. I hope you can all draw strength from these lyrics and the many other ones that are out there with similar messages. Maybe if we all started to stand up just that little bit extra for what is right, this world would become a more tolerant and beautiful place to live.
Inspirational words My wife.
