Samurai SLT - Hostages
by Samurai SLT
About this track
"Hostages" is a dark and emotionally charged composition that reflects the state of a society held hostage by a mad regime. With elements of protest, pain, and despair, the track paints an apocalyptic vision of a world ruled by a dictator who strips people of their freedom and hope. The lyrics are rich in symbolism: children draw omens, weapons are at the ready, and the mysterious “Messiah” is not a savior, but rather an illusion of salvation in a shattered world. The chorus resonates like a cry from the soul on behalf of an entire generation: “we are hostages.” [Verse 1] Oh, why — you wanna blow up the sky? All children draw the sign We’re waiting for Messiah This weapon stands by [Verse 2] Close the door I bleed and saw the fame Oh, we fall — my life is grief and pain A thief took the throne, I’m crushed and feel ashamed Who are we now? A madman rules the slaves [Chorus] We are hostages — he locked us up We are hostages — his fist is strangling We, the hostages — we’re all messed up We, the hostages — it’s risky gambling We are hostages — he locked us up We, the hostages — we’re all messed up We, the hostages — it’s risky gambling We are hostages — it’s “Don’t Look Up” We are hostages — just hostages
