The Best Horse Doesn't Win This Race
Unveiling Depths: A Tale of Defiance and Legacy
Lyrics
So long, farewell
Expressing goodbye or departure.
You’ve made it, passed your test
Congratulations for passing a test or challenge.
Nothing left to offer me
Feeling there's nothing more to give or contribute.
So I offer all the best
Offering the best despite the situation.
Some say this ship is sinking
Suggestions that a situation is in trouble or failing.
Perhaps it ran aground
Possibly encountering a setback or obstacle.
Keep kicking up above the waves
Persevering despite challenges, hoping for eventual success.
And one day you’ll be found
Belief that efforts will lead to recognition or success.
Maybe I’ve mistaken this
Questioning if a situation was misjudged or misunderstood.
For a poorly thought-of scheme
Perceiving a plan or idea as poorly conceived.
And my heart, my soul, my character
Doubts about personal identity or authenticity.
Well it wasn’t really me
Feeling that personal traits don't represent oneself.
I got my father’s devilment
Noting inherited characteristics influencing behavior.
And my mother’s foolish pride
Reference to a sense of pride inherited from one's mother.
You’ll never see me coming
Being unpredictable or catching others off guard.
There’s no chance to run and hide
No chance for avoidance or escape.
Can’t keep the crowd from forming
A crowd forming despite efforts to prevent it.
Make it in the end
Success anticipated in the future despite challenges.
Link your arms in honour, lads
Unity and solidarity among peers to face challenges.
Peak forwards, we’ll defend
Motivation to move forward together for defense.
Can’t keep the crowd from forming
Reiteration of lines 17-20, emphasizing unity and defense.
Make it in the end
-Link your arms in honour
-We’ll defend
-I’ve half a mind to end this
Considering ending a situation or circumstance prematurely.
If given Arthur mind
Contemplating drastic action if in a certain mindset or condition.
Put your years of wreck and hope
Putting aside past disappointments and anger.
And that anger to one side
Being cautious and avoiding potential trouble or danger.
But we’ll get them in the paddock
Confidence in outsmarting others or gaining an advantage.
Swipe their papers, find the loot
Planning to obtain something of value from others.
You better have your wits about
Warning to stay alert and attentive to avoid trouble.
Or it’s our necks in the noose
Risk of severe consequences if not cautious.
I’ll save my father’s devilment
Preserving inherited traits for strategic advantage.
And my mother’s foolish pride
Maintaining a sense of pride but also warning others.
I’ll let you know I’m coming
Signaling arrival without allowing escape or avoidance.
Give you choices, thought and time
Offering options or choices but limited time for decision-making.
Can’t keep the crowd from forming
Repetition of lines 17-24, reinforcing the theme of unity and defense.
Make it in the end
-Link your arms in honour, lads
-Peak forwards, we’ll defend
-Can’t keep the crowd from forming
-Make it in the end
-Link your arms in honour
-We’ll defend
-All that rage and the Grace keeps coming
Continued struggle between intense emotions and grace.
All that rage and the Grace keeps
-All that rage and the Grace keeps coming
-Pull the reigns in, pull the reigns in
Urging for control or restraint in a difficult situation.
Can’t keep the crowd from forming
Repetition of lines 17-44, stressing unity and defense.
Make it in the end
-Link your arms in honour, lads
-Peak forwards, we’ll defend
-Can’t keep the crowd from forming
-Make it in the end
-Link your arms in honour, lads
-Peak forwards, we’ll defend
-Can’t keep the crowd from forming
-Make it in the end
-Link your arms in honour
-We’ll defend
