about
With clattering percussion, skulking bass, and distorted arpeggiated synths, the booming and vicious cut explores themes of power, exploitation, and liberation, taking inspiration from action-adventure monster film, King Kong.
REBEL YELL and Black Dahlia’s commanding chants drive the song like a drill sergeant, the duo lifting each other up as they proclaim “I’m living for free/I’m living for me/Can't keep the reign on Kong/Ignite”.
The duo share, “REBEL YELL and Black Dahlia, like Kong, rarely attack unless provoked. After detonation, we show great degrees of strength in our battles to fight for our rights, and our life.”
lyrics
Rebel Yell
Source of power,
The soon and now.
Fight for our right,
Fight for this night
Burning it down,
Down to the ground
Heat within,
Ignite
Cant keep the reign on Kong,
Black Dahlia
Cant keep the reign on Kong,
Shot the fire
Synthesized for detonation
For the right, shock and friction
Yellow like piss, kiss to resist
Even the dogs couldn't smell your decay
Hear me today,
Compounded into a sensitivity train
I will reside within the deepest depths of our pain and ride, ignite
Can't keep the reign on Kong,
Heat within ignite
Can't keep the reign on Kong
Burning it down, burning it down
Burning them bridges, down to the ground
Looking to you, I'm looking to you
Give me the right to a life
Give me the right to a life
Give me the right to a life
I'm living for free, i'm living for me
Heat within, ignite
Heat within, ignite
Can't keep the reign on Kong,
I can't keep it, I can't keep it
Can't keep the reign on Kong,
I can't keep the reign on Kong
Source of power, soon and now
Fight for our right, fight for this night
Burning it down, down to the ground
Heat within, ignite
Heat within, ignite
Heat within, ignite
Heat within, ignite
Heat within, ignite
Can't keep the reign on Kong,
TNT
Can't keep the reign on Kong,
TNT
I can't keep the reign on Kong
Burning it down, burning it down
Burning them bridges, down to the ground
Looking to you, I'm looking to you
Give me the right to a life
Give me the right to a life
Give me the right to a life
Give me the right to a life
Give me the right to a life
Give me the right to a life
I’m living for me, I'm living for free
Cant keep the reign on Kong,
TNT
Cant keep the reign on Kong,
TNT
Heat within, ignite
Can't keep the reign on Kong
Heat within, ignite
Can't keep the reign on Kong
Gonna stay, gonna fight
For our right, for life
Be the protector and not the projector
TNT
Gonna stay, gonna fight
For our right, for life
Be the protector and not the projector
