Is There Anybody Out There?

Hi everyone!

 

This is my latest song 'Is There Anybody Out There?'.

 

It is sung from three different perspectives. Each double verse is spoken from someone involved in a conflict and I have tried to show the cyclical nature of this conflict throughout the song. I will leave the rest of the interpreting up to you, the listener.

Here are the lyrics:

 

Hello?

Is there,

Anybody out there?

 

Hello?

Is there,

Anybody out there?

 

His heart is full of sorrow

His eyes are white with fear

His fists they fill with anger

He hears them they are near

 

He thinks back to the last time

They tore right through his home

Those monsters are the reason

That he lives there all alone

 

Hello?

Is there,

Anybody out there?

 

Hello?

Is there,

Anybody out there?

 

No independent thinking

He follows where they go

Told he's proud to fight the rebels

That they plan to overthrow

 

He's following their orders

He's marching to their drum

He shoots the man before him

Scared of what he's become

 

Hello?

Is there,

Anybody out there?

 

Hello?

Is there,

Anybody out there?

 

She's searching for her father

The enemy's been here

She's worried for him this time

As she fights back the tears

 

She vows to fight his battle

She's hungry for revenge

She's nothing left to lose now

She'll fight them till the end

 

Hello?

Is there,

Anybody out there?

 

Hello?

Is there,

Anybody out there?

 

Now we know,

That there's,

Nobody out there...

Ambitious theme! One small language point: Since rebels, by definition, aren't the ones in power, they can't be overthrown. They're doing the overthrowing. They can be fought, repelled, defeated, vanquished, liquidated, crushed, repulsed, co-opted, placated, or disarmed, but they can't be overthrown.
