about

Arakeye's first single 'Protagonist' asks the listener to break free from commonly held and widely accepted opinions, to become more perceptive to lies and half-truths.
It questions the role that the media plays in setting the tone of current social climates in relation to elitism & corporate greed.

lyrics

PROTAGONIST

Aware

The mind diseased
By the media feed
Persuade the masses
Plant the seed
We will succumb
We will believe
My brain is numb
To this constant greed

Aware

We will succumb
We will believe
My brain is numb
To this constant greed

Giving you nothing
But taking it all
Follow the steps
That will make you fall
So when they think that it's over
Find a way to resist
Making the static prepare now
While raising the fist!

Aware

Will you succumb?
Will you believe?
My brain is numb
To this constant greed

The silent believer
We won't be locked down in chains
If you resist, we exist, raise the fist, protagonist
Keep living without it
For freedom we must remain
If you resist, we exist, raise the fist, protagonist

The silent believer
We won't be locked down in chains
Keep living without it
For freedom remain

Aware

If you resist, we exist
Raise the fist
Protagonist

If you insist, here's the twist
Raise the fist
Protagonist
