Yatsu - Appomattox

Copied!

They pulled the flesh from Appomattox
And built their homes from its bones
School their children in bunkers just to hide the numbers

Did you buy your gun
Did you buy your gun yet?
Did you buy your gun
Did you buy your gun yet?

I can hear you preaching safety from your gated communities
I can hear your screams over F-150s and AR-15s
I can hear you preaching safety from your gated communities
I can hear your screams over F-150s and AR-15s

The blood of others feeds
The blood of others feeds the roots of your safe spaces

The meaning of the song

edit description

"Appomattox" by Yatsu is a haunting and powerful song that delves into themes of violence, safety, and privilege. The lyrics describe a dystopian world where the bones of Appomattox are used to build homes and children are taught in bunkers to hide from danger. The chorus, questioning if the listener has bought a gun yet, highlights the pervasive fear and paranoia in this society. The juxtaposition of gated communities with screams and the imagery of F-150s and AR-15s further emphasize the divide between those who are safe and those who are not. The song concludes with a chilling reminder that the safety of some is built upon the blood of others. "Appomattox" is a thought-provoking and intense track that forces listeners to confront uncomfortable truths about privilege and violence.
