"Rage" (feat. Sonny Sandoval)
by Thomas Iannucci


Lyrics & Song Meaning


I heard that life is like the green flash
Cuz you can′t get the time back
So why we acting like we own it

One month one day one moment
Don't wanna live a life with regret
But I know I ain′t done yet
Cuz we get old and we get tired
Right now burn hot like a fire

Rage on and stay strong
I gotta sing it from the top of my lungs and
Thank God till I'm gone
Going to rage, rage on

Rage rage rage rage

These are dark times we are living in
Can't hold on to what could have been
Somebody tell me where the switch is at
Go ahead and turn the lights back
Are you running like you running
You know we gotta stand for something
Don′t wanna live a life with "would′ve, should've"
One breathe away from Ke Akua

Rage on and stay strong
I gotta sing it from the top of my lungs and
Thank God till I′m gone
Going to rage, rage, rage, rage on

Rage rage rage rage

Don't try to hide what you feeling
You gotta fight what you′re fearing
If there ain't love then you ain′t living
You gotta know you're forgiven
Don't try to hide what you feeling
You gotta fight what you′re fearing
If there ain′t love then you ain't living
You gotta know you′re forgiven

Rage on and stay strong
I gotta sing it from the top of my lungs and
Thank God till I'm gone
Going to rage, rage on

Gotta rage, gotta rage (Gotta rage man)
Every single day and night cuz that′s the game plan (That's the game plan)
Bruh, gotta rage, gotta rage (You gotta rage man)
Every single night and day (That′s the game plan)

Rage rage rage rage
Rage rage rage rage
Rage on


Song Meaning of
"Rage" (feat. Sonny Sandoval)

'Rage' is a song that combines modern reggae elements with hip-hop and pop influences.  It is a collaboration between Hawaiian Grammy winner Thomas Iannucci and Sonny Sandoval, the lead singer of the rock band P.O.D.  The song is about finding hope and joy in the midst of difficult times, and celebrating life as a gift from God.

The title is inspired by the Hawaiian Pidgin term "rage", which means "to party" or have fun, as opposed to being angry.  The song encourages listeners to not let fear or negativity hold them back, but to embrace their passions and dreams.
  Some of the lyrics that illustrate the song meaning are:

  • "I heard that life is like the green flash / Cuz you can't get the time back / So why we acting like we own it / One month one day one moment" - These lines express the idea of making the most of every moment, as life is unpredictable and short.
  • "Don't wanna live a life with "would've, should've" / One breathe away from Ke Akua" - These lines show the importance of living with faith and trust in God, who is called Ke Akua in Hawaiian. The phrase "one breathe away" suggests that God is always close and ready to help.
  • "Don't try to hide what you feeling / You gotta fight what you're fearing / If there ain't love then you ain't living / You gotta know you're forgiven" - These lines are the bridge of the song, which convey the message of being honest, courageous, loving, and forgiven. The song invites listeners to overcome their fears and doubts, and to experience God's love and grace.
'Rage' is not only a song about having fun and living fully, but also a song that reflects the Christian faith of both Thomas Iannucci and Sonny Sandoval.  It acknowledges that life is a gift from God, and that He has a plan and purpose for each person.  The song is based on many biblical principles and verses, such as:
  • "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." (Psalm 118:24, ESV) - This verse inspires the chorus of the song, which encourages listeners to rejoice and celebrate the life that God has given them, regardless of their circumstances.
  • "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11, ESV) - This verse supports the message of the song, which urges listeners to not let fear or doubt stop them from pursuing their passions and dreams, as God has a good and hopeful plan for them.
  • "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16, ESV) - This verse is the core of the gospel, which both artists share in their music and testimony. The song invites listeners to believe in Jesus and receive His gift of eternal life, which is the ultimate reason to rage. 😊
