LOVE IS REBELLION
About
Being free to love is still a privilege, and even for the ones who have this privilege, it is a relatively recent achievement. Throughout history, marriage was not a manifestation of love, but an imposition and a transaction: people being bought and sold for marriage.
Many were hurt, imprisoned and even killed for trying to pursue true love. The progress and liberty we enjoy today is a result of a lot of fighting, a lot of pain, and many lives lost.
In recent years, more and more people are acquiring the right to love around the world, with the liberty it needs to be true and free. But there are still too many people who do not have the right of true love, either by legal and/or moral reasons.
To these people who were not allowed to follow their feelings throughout history, and to the ones that still aren't, love is an act of rebellion.
As long as any form of love is a crime and/or a subversion, we will keep rebelling.
"Pray for their souls who died for love, for Love shall still be lord of all."
Sir Walter Scott
Lyrics
It may seem
Like love is all about peace
And it may look
Like love is all about release
But don't get fooled
Many died fighting for love
So that you could
Love the one you love
They told you love is all about submission
They taught you loving is signing some rendition
Oh, but love is rebellion
Oh, but love is revolution
Lovers are the resistance
Love and fighting are in consonance
If they deny our love using their crown
We will uprise and take them down
Because love is rebellion
Oh yeah love is rebellion
You may think
Love is all pleasure and delight
But liberty
Comes only with a fight
Our history is torn
Splattered with blood, sweat and tears
From people who endured the pain
Battling the most terrifying fears
Lovers were hunted
Since dawn of time
And what changed
Was their so called crime
Still today
Many fight for the right to be free
So much bloodshed
In seeking equality
Many died for the right to love
Enough shaming, beating, shutting up
If even one cannot be free
Than no-one is really free
So we will rebel and make them all see
That we will not surrender nor agree
till everyone, all the world is free
Because love is rebellion
Oh yeah love is revolution
Lovers are the resistance
Love and fighting are in consonance
If they deny our love using their crown
We will uprise and take them down
Because love is rebellion
Oh yeah love is rebellion
