In Front of Me
Breaking Free: Escaping Life's Standstill Through Big D and the Kids Table's 'In Front of Me'
Lyrics
Throughout my days God I say they're moving slow
Expressing frustration with the slow pace of life.
All confused yeah they will not move or go
People are confused and hesitant, reluctant to move forward.
Just one step (one step) and then another (yeah)
Encouraging incremental progress, taking one step at a time.
They're all confused yeah confused just by each other
People are confused by each other, possibly hindering progress.
I think a lesson in walking it's called 101
Suggesting a lesson in basic walking skills, humorously named "walking 101."
I think you're blocking is good but it's all good and done
Recognizing the effectiveness of blocking, but it's now irrelevant.
You made me laugh but now you just be making me sick
Someone who used to make the speaker laugh is now causing discomfort.
Now at last things are moving not just bit by bit
Finally, things are progressing more noticeably.
In front of me me in front in front of me
Expressing frustration with slow people walking in front of the speaker.
Slow people on the street walk in front me
-In front of me walking in front of me
-Slow people on the street walk in front of me
-(Chorus:)
Chorus emphasizing the feeling of being trapped while standing still.
We're all trapped while we're standing still (we're all trapped)
-We're all trapped while we're standing still (we're all trapped)
-We're all trapped while we're standing still (we're all trapped)
-We're all trapped while we're standing still (we're all trapped)
-We're all trapped cause we're standing still (we're all trapped)
Continuation of the chorus, expressing frustration and a desire to break free.
I get my fill make we wanna kill just by standing standing still (we're all trapped)
-We're all trapped cause we're standing still (we're all trapped)
-Until 'til gonna break my will just by standing standing still (go go)
-Keeping my temper is what I used to call the blame
Keeping temper used to be called blame, indicating a change in perspective.
Now by watching your steps it is what is the pain
Observing someone's slow steps is now causing pain.
I'm in no hurry you see I pay no mind
The speaker is patient, paying no mind to the slow pace.
Now by dragging your feet you begin to waste my time
Slow progress is wasting the speaker's time.
I'm not saying I'm fast I'm not saying you're slow
Clarifying the speaker's pace and urging others to move.
I'm just saying at last you must get up and go
-You made me laugh but now you just be making me sick
Repetition of the frustration caused by the slow progress.
Now at last things are moving not just bit by bit
Positive change is happening, not just gradually.
In front of me me in front in front of me
Reiteration of frustration with slow people walking in front.
Slow people on the street walk in front me
-In front of me walking in front of me
-Slow people on the street walk in front of me
-(Chorus)
Repetition of the chorus.
In front of me just get out of my way
Urging people to get out of the way, expressing the speaker's determination to move fast.
I'm begging please can't you see
-Just believe that I'll make you pay
-I'm coming fast I'm coming fastest
-You come in last cause you're slower than molasses
-Well is there snail-juice in your tank (tank)
Metaphorical references to speed, humorously implying superiority.
I don't know but I know you ain't swank
-A picture's worth a thousand words and I got 3
-Hold on let me think
-Fucking Big D
