‘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.

J'espere que cela vous a aidé
