“Revolution” is the fifth track and fifth single on Mali-Koa’s debut album, Hunger.
Mali-Koa took to Instagram on September 18, 2020 to talk about her song and what it meant to her:
Everyday we make a choice to step bravely into the world and be an active participant in the life we want to lead. So...
[Intro]
There's talk of a revolution
I never knew it but I believed
With you, I feel a movement
Something 'bout you brings a revolution in me
[Verse 1]
My alarm clock, it don't wake me
It just says I'm out of dreams
And my sheets fallin' like a river formin'
No, it's pulling me downstream
When I nod my head and I'm saying yes
But my feet don't want to go
And steps between my shoes and door
Feel like the longest road
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, you, ooh
Tell me I ain't got nothing to prove, ooh
Say that it's ok, sometimes we lo-ose
Everything or nothing, we can't choose
I tell you, it's the truth
[Chorus]
Thеre's talk of a revolution
I nevеr knew it but I believed
And with you, I feel a movement
Something 'bout you brings a revolution in me
[Verse 2]
The things that leave me screamin'
Were the things I never say
And the hardships don't steer easy
But at least I'm settin' sail
Don't say you won't, don't say you can't
If you haven't even tried
And you won't come bloom in the darkest room
If it grows on the inside
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, no, ooh
You say "don't overthink it" and "just go home"
I say "it's too far", you say "it's clo-ose"
You see it, only me, the times I don't
The only thing I know
[Chorus]
There's talk of a revolution
I never knew it but I believed
And with you, I feel a movement
Something 'bout you brings a revolution in me
[Bridge]
(Ooh) You tell me I ain't got nothing left to prove
(Ooh) Say now that it's ok, sometimes we lose
(Ooh) Oh, we can't choose
(Ooh) We can't choose
(Ooh) Ooh, ooh!
[Chorus]
There's talk of a revolution (A revolution, yeah)
I never knew it (Never knew it), but I believed
With you, I feel a movement
Something 'bout you brings (Something 'bout you brings) a revolution in me (Oh, and again now)
There's talk of a revolution
I never knew it but I believed (Oh, yes I did, now)
With you (Oh, with you), I feel a movement (I feel, I feel, I feel)
Something 'bout you brings a revolution in me (Revolution in me, yeah)
[Outro]
With you, I feel a movement
Something 'bout you brings a revolution in me
