Lyrics
Once I wanted to be the greatest
Expressing a desire to achieve greatness.
No wind or waterfall could stall me
Confident that nothing, like wind or waterfall, can impede progress.
And then came the rush of the flood
Encountering a sudden and overwhelming influx or rush of emotions or challenges.
Stars at night turned deep to dust
Symbolizing the disintegration or insignificance of once bright hopes and dreams.
Melt me down
Expressing a willingness to be transformed or broken down.
Into big black armour
Describing the transformation into something strong and impenetrable.
Leave no trace of grace
Leaving no remnants of vulnerability or elegance.
Just in your honor
Doing so as a tribute or homage to someone.
Lower me down
Requesting to be lowered or humbled.
Culprit south
Referring to a southern direction, possibly implying a specific location or change.
Make 'em wash a space in town
Enforcing a cleansing or purifying act in the community for leadership.
For the lead
Suggesting a prominent position or role.
And the dregs of my bed
Referring to remnants or residues in a symbolic way.
I've been sleeping
Indicating a state of rest or inactivity.
Lower me down
Reiterating the desire to be lowered or humbled.
Pin me in
Requesting to be fixed or confined.
Secure the grounds
Ensuring stability or a solid foundation for the future.
For the later parade
Preparing for a later celebration or recognition.
Once I wanted to be the greatest
Repeating the desire for greatness.
Two fists of solid rock
Describing physical strength and mental clarity.
With brains that could explain any feeling
Highlighting intellectual capacity to understand and express emotions.
Lower me down
Reiterating the request to be lowered or humbled.
Pin me in
Repeating the idea of being fixed or confined.
Secure the grounds
Ensuring stability or a solid foundation.
For the lead
Referring to a prominent position or role, along with remnants.
And the dregs of my bed
Again, mentioning residues or leftovers from a personal space.
I've been sleeping
Indicating a continued state of rest or inactivity.
For the later parade
Preparing for a future celebration or recognition.
Once I wanted to be the greatest
Reiterating the initial desire for greatness.
No wind or waterfall could stall me
Emphasizing the invincibility against external forces.
And then came the rush of the flood
Repeating the experience of being overwhelmed by challenges.
The stars at night turned deep to dust
Symbolizing the disintegration or insignificance of dreams once more.
