Two Seven
Embracing Risk: A Musical Gamble with Michael Herbert's 'Two Seven'
Lyrics
I'm moving forwards
I am progressing forward in life.
But driving backwards
Despite moving forward, I feel like I am going backward.
I try my best to avoid disaster
I make an effort to avoid disasters.
The risky feeling is what I'm after
I am seeking the thrill of taking risks.
But sometimes life isn't meant to go faster
Life doesn't always go faster, indicating challenges.
I know that the odds say
Aware of unfavorable odds, I hesitate to take risks.
I shouldn't be betting
Despite the odds, I am inclined to take a chance.
But I'm gonna go all
I am committed to going all in, giving my best effort.
I'm gonna go all
Reiteration of determination to go all in.
I know that the odds say
Reiteration of awareness of unfavorable odds.
I shouldn't be betting
Despite the odds, I persist in taking a risk.
But I'm gonna go all in on two seven
Expressing a bold decision to go all in on two seven.
My seat's unbuckled
My safety is not guaranteed, but I am holding on tightly.
But I'm holding on tight
Describing a situation of potential risk with determination.
Two royal couples are out now
Referring to two royal couples, possibly metaphorical.
I should fold on sight
Considering folding in the face of potential danger.
But I'm just cracking my knuckles
Cracking knuckles, a sign of readiness for a challenge.
'Cause it's fight or flight
Emphasizing the fight or flight nature of the situation.
And I'm not giving up
Determined not to give up despite the challenges.
'Cause I already took a bite, yeah
Highlighting a past commitment or decision.
I know that the odds say
Acknowledging unfavorable odds in decision-making.
I shouldn't be betting
Despite the odds, there is a desire to take a risk.
But I'm gonna go all
Commitment to go all in, giving full effort.
I'm gonna go all
Reiteration of determination to go all in.
I know that the odds say

I shouldn't be betting
Despite the odds, there is a persistent inclination to take a risk.
But I'm gonna go all in on two seven
