One Day Will Come

Evil Conduct's song "One Day Will Come" is a powerful critique of the concept of freedom in modern society. The lyrics challenge the listener to question the authenticity of the freedom they are told they possess. The repeated phrase "modern slavery" suggests that despite the appearance of liberty, individuals are still bound by societal constraints and injustices. This metaphorical slavery is not physical but psychological and systemic, where people are manipulated into believing they are free while being controlled by societal norms and expectations.

The song's chorus, "One day will come, and you will be forever free," serves as a hopeful promise of true liberation. It implies that the current state of affairs is temporary and that a day of genuine freedom will eventually arrive. This message resonates with those who feel oppressed or disillusioned by the promises of a free society that fails to deliver on its ideals. The repetition of this line emphasizes the certainty and inevitability of this future freedom, offering solace and motivation to those who feel trapped.

Evil Conduct also addresses the notion of being a "victim of society," highlighting the helplessness many feel in the face of systemic issues. The lyrics suggest that even though individuals have the right to choose, their choices are often limited or manipulated, leading to a sense of futility. The song critiques the common advice to "count your blessings," arguing that this mindset ignores the deeper issues of liberty and justice. By declaring themselves "a prisoner until the day I die," the band underscores the pervasive and enduring nature of this modern slavery, urging listeners to seek true freedom beyond superficial liberties.
