Revolution Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus]
So don't let them steal your light (Eh, eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh)
Don't let them break your stride (Eh, eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh)
There is light on the other side
And you'll see all the raindrops falling behind
It's a revolution, make it out tonight
It's a revolution

[Chorus]
It's a reva
It's a reva
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Rev
Rev
Rev

Genius Annotation

“Revolution” is an inspirational banger about overcoming adversity. The song is about let it go in life and taking chances that may not have a means to an end.

Toronto singer-songwriter Kai wrote the lyrics before she’d even met Diplo.
She told Whatever Magazine:

After being sent specific melodies to work with, I began to sing the lyrics over their production and things just clicked. ‘Revolution’ was about someone who was and is an integral part of my life. I wrote it for everyone who could relate to feeling those same dark thoughts that I experienced.

On April 1nd, 2015, Diplo announced his support for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. The same day, the Sanders campaign released a new ad soundtracked by “Revolution.”
