Song Meaning of “This City (We’re Taking Over)” by Skip The Foreplay
This City (We’re Taking Over) is a song by Skip The Foreplay about making a revolution in the city, from the injustice of the authorities and power structures and taking the power for the people. It talks about how we have to take action and stand up for our rights, how we can take the city with our strength and unity, and show the world that we can make a change.
The lyrics call for the people to come together and fight for a better city: “Come on, now, unite tonight/ Our force is gonna be the light/ See a city that we can turn around”. The singer expresses the power of the people and how they can use it to fight for what’s right, break down the walls that separate us and create a unified city.
The chorus speaks of how the people have the power to take their city back, a sentiment of empowerment and strength that our voices can be heard: “We take our city, break down the walls/ Let go of fear, these heavy chains/ Unlock the chains/ Unite our souls/ We want our city, taking control.”
The song encourages people to take the lead and fight for their rights, and make a revolution for their beliefs. As Skip The Foreplay sings, “Leave the power in the people’s hands/ This is our city, and we’re taking it back”.
