Skeletons
Rising from Within: Skeletons, a Musical Journey of Liberation
Lyrics
On the Inside I’ve got a mess of a mind
Expressing internal chaos and complexity of thoughts.
On the Outside I’ve got nothing to hide
Externally, there is transparency and nothing to conceal.
I’m countin’ down to number $1.09
Counting down to a specific amount, possibly a financial reference.
Now I’m right on time and I’m feeling alive!
Feeling on schedule and full of vitality.
I’m bustin’ out like an out-a-town killa!
Assertive expression, breaking free with confidence.
Everywhere I go there’s never any filler!
Engaging in activities without any dull moments.
Like a fine wine killin’ time there’s nothin’ in my bag man
Comparing oneself to fine wine, enjoying time without baggage.
I don’t really care about nothin’ except the band’s plan
Priority is solely on the band's plans, indifferent to other concerns.
There goes life floating down the river
Symbolizing the passing of life down the river, a metaphor for time.
There goes life coming up to shore!
Life approaching again, portraying cyclical nature.
We’re Skeletons-Skeletons-Skeletons fighting a war!
Emphasizing a collective struggle, using "Skeletons" as a metaphor for challenges.
Get Up, Get Up, Get Up and let’s go! (x6)
Repetition urging action and movement.
I’m changing gonna put it all aside
Commitment to change and putting aside past issues.
Re-arranging was asleep inside
Awareness and transformation from a dormant state.
I’m done with all those Skeletons of mine
Rejecting personal issues or burdens, possibly regrets or mistakes.
As a warning… I’m at the halfway line!
Awareness of being halfway through life, a moment of reflection.
Gonna kick it out like a Shotokan Master
Using martial arts imagery to convey strength and determination.
Haulin’ down the street I’ve never gone faster
Speed and excitement, breaking personal records.
Drink it in, Drink it in I’m lovin’ everywhere I’ve been
Savoring and appreciating experiences and achievements.
It sure feels good to play that music again!
Joy and satisfaction in playing music again.
There goes life floating down the river
Reiteration of the river metaphor, emphasizing the flow of life.
There goes life coming up to shore!
Cycle of life continuing, approaching the shore again.
We’re Skeletons-Skeletons-Skeletons fighting a war!
Reiteration of collective struggle, facing challenges together.
Get Up, Get Up, Get Up and let’s go! (x6)
Repetition encouraging persistent action and energy.
