- Hieroglyphics Lyricsborn in the middle of an urban war
staying out later than the street lights
in the days of ancient man
they had to fight to survive, because they had no plan
[chorus]
the hieroglyphics on the walls.....they tell it all [x3]
everyday waking up in the same room
with six younger siblings who look up to you
not knowing where this day will take you
where are you going to run to, you don't know
treating everyday like it were you're last one
having nothing in common with the outside world
the only way to reach them is to spray it on the walls
because no listens to your calls
from the part of town where no one wants to go
surrounded by a border that isn't even there
living in a place where there's no regards for the law
read the story it's tagged up on the walls
staying out later than the street lights
in the days of ancient man
they had to fight to survive, because they had no plan
[chorus]
the hieroglyphics on the walls.....they tell it all [x3]
everyday waking up in the same room
with six younger siblings who look up to you
not knowing where this day will take you
where are you going to run to, you don't know
having nothing in common with the outside world
the only way to reach them is to spray it on the walls
because no listens to your calls
from the part of town where no one wants to go
surrounded by a border that isn't even there
living in a place where there's no regards for the law
read the story it's tagged up on the walls

When we focus on what the lyrics are trying to say, Voodoo Glow Skulls’ 'Hieroglyphics' talks about the hardships of a kid growing up in a tough neighborhood where the walls turn out to be the only way to reveal the daily struggles. The littered walls with hieroglyphics are taken to mean the unspoken stories, the strength and toughness of these people who go on fighting unnoticed by the mainstream society, and even the defiance against that society. Hieroglyphics’ lyrics mainly focus on giving a social commentary, expressing angst, reflecting on the problems, showing anger, and giving empowerment. In addition, the song denotes struggle and survival, family ties and responsibilities, isolation and communication, and the impact of living in a particular place on one’s identity. The lyrics reflect themes of urban struggle and survival, which however may not be appropriate for very young children unless accompanied by an adult. The absence of explicit mentions of violence or drug use does not rule out the necessity of parental guidance because the context of a difficult living environment and lawlessness coming up in the lyrics can be a bit tough for them.
