Michael Webster - Rampant
Learn from your mistakes or face consequence of a gun
A page from a book that which you never have read
In the land of the living it’s better to walk around dead
And captain, the ship we’re sailing in is on it’s way down
Then resentment walks in, smokes a cigarette, and leaves with a smile
Well I saw the face of what I want to see in the world
But it wasn’t good enough for all the people out there
So drink up that red wine, your glass is nearly out
And you’ll never be any more than just a face in the crowd
Well no one will save you, your blood is already cold
The gun in your hand just shows your lack of self control
Song Description:
edit soundcloudThe chorus speaks of a sinking ship and the fleeting nature of happiness, emphasizing the transient nature of life. The protagonist longs for a better world but is met with disappointment and rejection from those around them. The imagery of red wine running out and being just a face in the crowd further emphasizes the feelings of isolation and despair.
Ultimately, the song conveys a sense of hopelessness and resignation, with the protagonist realizing that they are ultimately alone and powerless in the face of their own demons. The gun in their hand symbolizes their lack of self-control and the destructive path they are on. "Rampant" is a powerful and thought-provoking song that explores the darker aspects of human nature and the consequences of refusing to change.
