The song depicts rebellious students transforming their stifling school environment into a chaotic rock haven, defying the principal's rigid demands for order and silence by smuggling in amps and unleashing heavy riffs and beats. It celebrates music as an unstoppable force of youthful expression and defiance, where every chord and drum hit serves as a "middle finger" to authority, breaking through the monotony of lectures and rules. Ultimately, it portrays the principal's futile attempts to suppress the "volume" as a symbol of how true rebellion—fueled by passion and noise—cannot be contained or punished out of existence.

Winnipeg composer, retired from the farm, still chasing meaning in melody. My work lives where TV cues meet YouTube soundscapes, with a few albums in between. Built in Mixcraft Pro, fuelled by late-night coffee, stubborn curiosity, and a Stoic’s sense of timing. Also writing on politics, history, and philosophy, because sound isn’t my only instrument.
