Boots on the Ground
Chasing Luck: Manic Grooves' Odyssey through Time and Fate
Lyrics
I'm waiting on yesterday to gimme a break
I am hoping for a respite from the difficulties of the past.
Anywhere, anytime, anyway
Open to possibilities and willing to adapt in any situation.
Lady luck, gimme a sip, some of that magic
Expressing a desire for luck and a touch of magic.
In there, buyer beware, children behave, today
Be cautious in your actions because consequences may follow; a mix of warning and advice for children to behave.
It goes...
Transition in the lyrics or a musical break.
You got, love in your pocket, hands in your face
Describing having love and challenges simultaneously.
We got, boots on the ground, shells in a case
Emphasizing a grounded and realistic approach, possibly in a tough situation.
Well then ya gotta look em in the eyes or
Encouraging direct confrontation and facing challenges head-on.
Pretty soon then it's you they despise, we're
Warning about potential dislike or resentment if not addressed promptly.
Over the top, in over our heads
Suggesting being overwhelmed or in a challenging situation.
They said...
Introduction of what 'they' said, possibly referring to advice or criticism.
And through the muck, I made my way, well okay
Navigating through difficulties, perhaps indicating personal growth.
I'll be here maybe a year, maybe a day
Uncertain about the duration of one's presence, whether short-term or long-term.
And lady luck, she's full of shit, she's a bitch
Cynical view of luck, portraying it negatively.
Everywhere, every time, every way
Emphasizing ubiquity of challenges in all aspects of life.
And we go
Possibly signaling a transition or a recurring theme.
Da na na, na na na na na na na na na, woah
Repetitive vocal sounds or a musical element.
Da na na, na na na na na na na na na, it goes
Continuation of the musical element or rhythm.
Buy me a round or three
Suggesting a desire for social interaction and enjoyment.
I'm only wasting time
Acknowledging the passage of time without significant progress.
Just tell me it's gonna be alright and I'll be fine
Seeking reassurance that everything will be okay.
Ya got, love in your pocket, hands in your face
Reiteration of having love amidst challenges.
We got, boots on the ground, shells in a case
Reaffirmation of a grounded and prepared stance.
I'm waiting on yesterday
Repetition of the desire for a break from the past.
To gimme a break anywhere, anytime, anyway
Reiterating the openness to change at any time or place.
Lady luck, she's gone away
Acknowledging the absence or departure of luck.
I begged her to stay though
Expressing a plea for luck to stay despite challenges.
Every which, every way
Highlighting the variety and complexity of challenges in life.
