about

Subjugation began as a track inspired by a very trippy idea that our guitarist, Lou Sabba, had.

"What if we wrote a song about what it must be like to see rain for the first time?" he asked.

Everybody loved the idea, and our vocalist, Julian Worden, decided to try and make lyrics out of it. He thought about some possible reasons why somebody would have never seen rain in their entire life, and the first thing that came to mind was being born into captivity from a mother who was kidnapped. The song ended up being much more about that than the original rain idea, and the plot paralleled that of the movie "Room" in some ways. As a result, Julian decided to reference it in the song's lyrics.

lyrics

*Lyrics*

He, to keep me inside
Feeling around for the touch of a woman and
Me, to live my own life
Flailing around wish an arm could be broken
He’s got a grip on me
To make sure I won’t leave
Room is all I see
I need the f*cking key
Gimme that f*cking key

Born into defense
There's no hope to be had
Unless you gimme that f*cking key

Rationing my time
Without a second guess
Every meal I eat’s a privilege
Or at least he tells me that
The rumble of cars on the ceiling
Is what I use to keep believing
He’s keepin' it down so that word can’t get out cause he knows that he can’t go back

Obey obey obey
The only thing that he can say
Obey obey obey
The only thing I hear him say

Born into defense
Coping by myself
There’s no hope to be had
Living underground
There’s not much time
I think it’s runnin’ low now
There’s not much time
So much has passed
Born into defense
Coping by myself

If your clothes have holes they don’t mean much when you step outside
A body that’s crippled and frail once it steps outside the lines 'cause it cant handle what it’s never breathed before
It doesn’t know what it’s never seen before
Now I’ve set the stage but I’m not sure you understand
He’s got my life in the palms of his hands
I need to grow and mature I need open up the door
I need to shut the f*ck up I feel his footsteps on the floor

Obey obey obey
The only thing that he can say
Obey obey obey
The only words I hear him say

Born into defense
Coping by myself
There’s no hope to be had
Living underground
There’s not much time
I think it’s runnin’ low now
There’s not much time
So much has passed
Born into defense
Coping by myself

Manipulative son of a b*tch
If I'm gonna die I won't leave without a fight
I don't know if I can take him but I'll sure as hell try
Now
Now
Now
Now
