Lyrics:
Dig a hole and bury yourself in the ground
Tally the numbers, give respects to who we've found
Freedom isn't earned
And your concern is of no use to me
In the face of absolute death
What's a song good for?
Death to the monarchy
And death to the empress
We'll fight another day
IT'S JUST A FUCKING MESS!
The state of current systems is a thinly veiled lie!
This falsified oppression is a crime we must defy!
The revolution will be dyed in fuchsia colored hue!
Alternia was built on blood spilled by me and you!
Round up every sickle, and round up every troll!
They may strike our bodies, but they'll never take our soul!
Let them call the drones, let's fight them in the mud
Keep fighting for a fairer world, paint it with our blood!
Death to the highbloods
Nothing to lose but our chains
We'll fight another day
One day we'll end her reign
Death to the monarchy
And death to the empress
We'll fight another day
IT'S JUST A FUCKING MESS!
Artist commentary:
As an OG cool and new music team member, the jpeg album we did was one of my favourites ever, so when UMSPAF started one too I absolutely wanted to join.
The artwork here by Jas really spoke to me, because I always love the idea of the characters performing music together in Homestuck related media, and Chixie is my favourite Friendsim character. And when the prompt said "Punk rock-y/Any vocals would be good", I thought this one was a match made in heaven for me specifically.
This one went through multiple iterations, as I was cycling through various folk punk bands that were favourites of mine for inspiration. Against Me and The Front Bottoms were considered, as well as a Scott Stutzman/Kasko Lunford type track, but eventually I settled for a classic AJJ style song, with a yelled rap section which was inspired by Jeff Rosenstock.
This is a very political song by nature of it being folk punk. The first verse went through the most changes. Sometimes, you just read about all the serious stuff in the news and as an artist, you might feel like none of what you do matters. But I think making art in the face of tragedy is a radical action itself. It doesn't compare to like, direct action or community organizing, but to express yourself and grow your soul in a world that wants you to stay quiet and die can be a powerful thing.
P.S: Free Palestine!!!
