The instrumentation
showcases upper-frequency chiming guitar, which enables individual notes to charm
the listener. The allure is most apparent after the first of a repeating lyrical
statement that forms the chorus. At the 0:56 mark of “The Age of Violent
Revolution,” the guitar charm resides between the first two instances of “In
the age of violent revolution, the easiest solution was always to cut off the
head.” Creatively, guitar characteristics change with each lyrical space in
the chorus.
The
meaning of the song from Strangejuice is not readily apparent. The most
mysterious verse is the final one:
Strangejuice is the project of Mike Anderson, who describes himself as “an
Australian solo multi-instrumentalist and hermit song-maker, prolific and ugly.
strange and beautiful.” Strangejuice is based in Perth, Australia. “The Age
of Violent Revolution” is the first track on his recently released album “Common
Behavior.” Information regarding the album is available at the Bandcamp
site CLICK HERE.
Quoting a revealing description of the single:
“The Age of Violent Revolution” is a dark, driving rock track built around a propulsive live drum beat, jangling guitars in the verses, and heavier guitars in the chorus. The main hook comes from the repeated vocal line in the chorus, which gives the song its force and obsessive momentum. Lyrically it moves through surreal, unsettling imagery rather than a literal narrative, circling violence, panic, and collapse in a dreamlike way.”
And the flowers are free
If you know how to find 'em
They're growing out of the big refrigerator
island
It's okay to cut 'em and take 'em back to your
house
Just watch out for the crocodile and the mouse

Lyrics of “The Age of Violent Revolution” by
Strangejuice
It was some wild time ago
A headless girl with her head in her hand
Had to leave my place 'cause I had no place
Had to leave my place 'cause I had no place
Had to leave my place 'cause I had no place
Had to leave my place 'cause I had no place
Someplace to go
In the age of violent revolution
The easiest solution was always to cut off the head
In the age of violent revolution
The easiest solution was always to cut off the head
And in the age of violent revolution
The easiest solution was always to cut off the head
And in the age of violent revolution
The easiest solution was always to cut off the head
And in the age of violent revolution
The easiest solution was always to cut off the head
And in the age of violent revolution
The easiest solution was always to cut off the head
House burning
Saving the gin
Don’t care if the roof caves in
House burning
Saving the gin
Don’t care if the roof caves in
The wind’s howlin’
But the water’s warm
Don’t know if there’s a coming storm
In the age of violent revolution
The easiest solution was always to cut off the head
In the age of violent revolution
The easiest solution was always to cut off the head
And in the age of violent revolution
The easiest solution was always to cut off the head
And in the age of violent revolution
The easiest solution was always to cut off the head
And the flowers are free
If you know how to find 'em
They're growing out of the big refrigerator island
It's okay to cut 'em and take 'em back to your house
Just watch out for the crocodile and the mouse
It was some wild time ago
A headless girl with her head in her hand
Had to leave my place 'cause I had no place
Had to leave my place 'cause I had no place
Had to leave my place 'cause I had no place
Had to leave my place 'cause I had no place
Someplace to go
In the age of violent revolution
The easiest solution was always to cut off the head
In the age of violent revolution
The easiest solution was always to cut off the head
And in the age of violent revolution
The easiest solution was always to cut off the head
And in the age of violent revolution
The easiest solution was always to cut off the head
And in the age of violent revolution
The easiest solution was always to cut off the head
And in the age of violent revolution
The easiest solution was always to cut off the head
House burning
Saving the gin
Don’t care if the roof caves in
House burning
Saving the gin
Don’t care if the roof caves in
The wind’s howlin’
But the water’s warm
Don’t know if there’s a coming storm
In the age of violent revolution
The easiest solution was always to cut off the head
In the age of violent revolution
The easiest solution was always to cut off the head
And in the age of violent revolution
The easiest solution was always to cut off the head
And in the age of violent revolution
The easiest solution was always to cut off the head
And the flowers are free
If you know how to find 'em
They're growing out of the big refrigerator island
It's okay to cut 'em and take 'em back to your house
Just watch out for the crocodile and the mouse
