Old Team
Mastersystem's 'Old Team': Resilience in Defeat, A Last Struggle for Redemption
Lyrics
Verse 1
Expressing a refusal to listen and urging someone to be more assertive.
I told you I'm not listening, grow some spine
Acknowledging a lack of receptiveness, encouraging assertiveness again.
I know I'm rarely glistening in the morning light
Noticing a rarity in feeling radiant or successful in the morning.
But the days when we were full of it have died
Reflecting on past times of confidence that have now faded or ended.
Chorus 1
Introducing the concept of an "Old team" and facing an animalistic confrontation.
Old team animal face to face
Describing the "Old team" in a confrontational, face-to-face encounter.
One last time, I might get it right
Expressing a last attempt to get something right in the face of the "Old team."
Begone free radical turn away, one last try
Advising a departure from negative influences, with a resolve for improvement.
I will get it right
Confidently asserting the intention to succeed on the last try.
Verse 2
Reiterating the confrontational theme of the "Old team."
Old team, nobody fuck with me
Claiming invincibility within the "Old team."
Old team, six months losing streak
Highlighting a prolonged period of continuous losses within the "Old team."
Old team, nobody fuck with me
Reaffirming invincibility, despite challenges faced within the "Old team."
Old team, green blood on the backseat
Describing a physical aftermath with "green blood on the backseat."
Old team, nobody fuck with me
Repeating the theme of invincibility within the "Old team."
Old team, six months losing streak
Reiterating a prolonged period of continuous losses within the "Old team."
Old team, nobody fuck with me
Affirming invincibility despite adversity within the "Old team."
Old team, green blood on the backseat
Recalling a physical aftermath with "green blood on the backseat."
Chorus 2
Reintroducing the worn-down "animal" in a face-to-face encounter.
I'm a worn-down animal face to face
Expressing weariness in another face-to-face encounter with the "Old team."
One last time, I might get it right
Acknowledging a final attempt to get something right in this encounter.
Begone free radical burn away, one last try
Urging the departure of negative influences, with determination for one last try.
I will get it right
Confidently stating the resolve to get it right on the last try.
