Romans
Embracing Life's Rebellion: More Hazards More Heroes' 'Romans' Reflection
Lyrics
We can do as the Romans
We should emulate the behavior of the Romans.
Or do as the Romans never did
Suggests doing things differently than the Romans did.
We could fight like soldiers
We have the option to engage in a disciplined, organized manner, like soldiers.
We could wrestle like kids
Alternatively, we could approach life with a playful, carefree attitude, reminiscent of children wrestling.
We’ll think it over
Pause for reflection or consideration.
Go on Pump our fists
Encouragement to express enthusiasm, possibly through physical gestures like pumping fists.
Come on! Thank God, sober
Expressing gratitude for sobriety, possibly juxtaposed with a sarcastic tone.
But no no
Contradictory statement, negating the idea of being thankful and sober.
We’ll moan and piss
Expectation of complaining and negative behavior.
We can do as the Romans
Reiteration of the choice to emulate the Romans or not.
Or do as the Romans never did
Repeating the idea of deviating from Roman behavior.
We can do as the Romans
Reiteration of the choice to emulate the Romans.
And live forever in time
Suggesting the possibility of achieving immortality through Roman-like actions.
But let’s just enjoy these moments we got
Encouraging appreciation for the present moments rather than focusing on eternal life.
We got this one fuckin’ life
A reminder of the limited time we have in this life.
And though I hear it ain’t nothin’ like livin’
Acknowledging that life might be challenging, possibly questioning its value.
Yeah I hear it ain’t nothin’ like that
Reiterating the difficulty of life but without specifics.
And though I hear it ain’t nothin’ like livin’ with God
Suggesting that living with God is also challenging.
Til we’re dead on our backs
Expressing a determination to live life until death.
But I still wanna live
Despite challenges, expressing a desire to continue living.
We could live like Romans
Revisiting the idea of living like the Romans.
And do as the Romans never did
Reiterating the suggestion to deviate from traditional Roman behavior.
