Alrighty y’all, I’m starting a new thing where I share and talk about songs that remind me of comics! For the first one I’m actually doing 3 songs cause they’re all on the same album and have been stuck in my head for like two months now.

This was the first song I heard from these guys and it makes me think of Netflix Daredevil’s beginnings in vigilantism. It’s Matt and his love for his city. He sees the evil and corruption that has become status quo and he feels like he’s the only one who is willing to actually stand up and do something about it. He’s breaking out from the silence and apathy. Probably my favorite lyrics that I could totally see in a DD comic are:

Say a prayer for all the children still sleeping at night

Say a prayer for all the fathers who still remember

Say a prayer for all the girls who’ve learned to stand up

Say a prayer for all the boys who won’t surrender

This one reminds me of Daredevil season 1, specifically when “Fisk” is still just a faceless name that the thugs are afraid to say. I mean look at these lyrics and tell me that’s not Matt talking about Fisk.

Gonna have to do better than fear

Gonna have to step out of the shadows and fight

And when they see your face again

They will know what it means to have fear dragged out into the light

This last one is all big and exciting and makes me think of Daredevil season 3 when everyone is back together and making a plan to take the fight to Fisk. I think it’s just perfect. I mean just look at these lyrics.

We’ve got Matt resolute on doing whatever it takes to end Fisk:

I've got this burning like my veins are filled with nothing but gasoline

And with a spark it's gonna be the biggest fire they've ever seen

Cut me down or let me run, either way it's all gonna burn

The only way that they’ll ever learn - we’ve got to turn it off

Fisk and the people who let him get to his position of power:

At the heart of the city there is a building that looks down over all there is

And the man in the tower controls it all without raising a single fist

It's like they've gathered up the city, they sold it to the Devil and now

It's gone to hell and they wonder how

And the gang holding on to hope and striving to pull Hell’s Kitchen out from under Fisk’s thumb:

There is a city that this darkness can't hide

There are the embers of a fire that's gone out

But I can still feel the heat on my skin

And this mess we're in, where you and I

Maybe you and I

We can still make it right

Maybe we can bring back the light

Please tell me what you think! Do you agree? Did I miss anything? Did you interpret it differently?
