Covers are tributes—but the boldest ones dare to flip the script, honoring the original while hijacking its soul for something fiercer.
Take the lyrics for the song "control" by VNV Nation:
Until I should die, until I should break
Not a god, not a devil my soul shall take
If I should lie to betray myself
Then I would damn myself, and my soul forsake
I don't want fifteen minutes, want a whole lot more
Don't want to suffer the fools and the spoils of war
I don't want fifteen minutes, or a reason why
I want a stainless steel road stretching off to the sky
I don't need sentiment, want, or hate on my mind
No crimes of passion or obsessions in kind
No walls, restraints, or momentary thrill
No blood on my hands, no time to kill
I want more body, I want more soul
Flick the switch to automatic, I want control
If I should give in, if I should turn away
Not a god, not a devil my soul could save
I want more body, I want more soul
Flick the switch to automatic, I want control
Now let's turn this into pure Bitcoin inspired rebellion!
Take a look:
Until I should die, until I should break
Nor a king or a president my soul shall take
If I did otherwise and betrayed myself
Then I would damn myself and Bitcoin forsake
Blocks from ten to ten minutes, and I don't need more
Don't want to suffer fools, don't wanna fund any war
I wanna sats, not cents, and my reason why
Is that my digital road's stretching off to the sky
I don't have sentiment, fear, or trade on my mind
No greed for fiat or obsessions I find
No walls, restraints, or momentary thrill
No shackles on my hands, just a fucking wheel
I want to be sovereign, I have the tools
Flip the switch to autonomy
There's no control
I'm never giving in, i'm not turning away
Not a gov or a ponzi my soul can tempt
I trust no body, I trust no soul
Flip the switch to autonomy
There's no control
We pay tribute and we also defy and change the meaning and intent of the song to input Bitcoin ethos.
🔥 LISTEN NOW – feel the chains shatter:
