‘Wildfires’, SAULT. (2020)
Thief in the night
Tell the truth
White lives
Spreading lies
You should be ashamed
The bloodshed on your hands
Another man
Take off your badge
We all know it was murder
Murder, murder
Murder
We are dying, it's the reason we are crying
We are crying
But we will never show fear
Even in my eyes
I will always rise
In wildfires
I ain't never been scared
Even through my tears
I will always care
In wildfires

Réponse : Voici la réponse de votre question:
The song is about caucasian people taking advantage of their rights on minorities, he uses the example of George Floyd and how he was murdered by a white policeman. We can see this in ' Take off your badge We all know it was murder ' It's the authors way of saying, take of your police badge, you don't deserve it, you murdered an innocent and still haven't been found guilty of the crime you have committed.
The author uses repetition, for example, " murder, murder, murder " to emphasize his point. He also makes some words rhyme, like " We are dying, it's the reason we are crying". He also uses metaphors, comparing wildfires to our world and the people who inhabit it.
The song is definitely effective as protest music, especially the last verse, where he says, "But we will never show fear Even in my eyes I will rise ", which means, every time you push us down, we keep on rising, and fight, for what we believe is right.
