Syndicate

Derivakat's song 'Syndicate' delves into the themes of rebellion, camaraderie, and the cyclical nature of history. The lyrics invite the listener to join a secretive group, the 'syndicate,' promising a life that is 'a little more fun' and filled with purpose. This invitation is not just about escaping the mundane but also about fighting against oppressive forces. The syndicate represents a collective that stands against tyranny and anarchy, seeking to end pain and suffering. The repeated mention of 'a couple new friends' emphasizes the importance of unity and solidarity in this fight.

The song also reflects on the repetitive nature of history, with the line 'When all of the horses and all of the men won't learn from history, it's all the same in the end.' This suggests a sense of frustration with the world's inability to learn from past mistakes, leading to a continuous cycle of oppression and rebellion. The syndicate, therefore, is portrayed as a necessary force to break this cycle, even if they are labeled as 'villains' by those in power. This label is accepted, as the syndicate members are willing to 'take the fall' for the greater good.

Musically, Derivakat's style often blends electronic and pop elements, creating an engaging and dynamic backdrop for the song's powerful message. The upbeat tempo and catchy melody contrast with the serious themes, making the song both thought-provoking and enjoyable. The call to 'fight for freedom' and 'end the pain' resonates deeply, encouraging listeners to consider their own roles in the fight against injustice and the importance of finding like-minded allies in this struggle.
