Lyrics
Your blade will go too deep if you keep trying
Your actions will have severe consequences if you persist
Our skin will never bleed, 'cause we don't buy it
Our resilience prevents us from being affected, as we reject false narratives
One shot from your pistol, every word's a dagger
Every word you speak is like a weapon aimed at us
Thought we'd break like crystal, but we're still standing
We were expected to shatter, but we endure and remain strong
Hold on, I'm goin' on the wire
Encouragement to persevere despite challenges
Unharmed, we walk through the fire
We emerge unscathed from difficult situations
You know we've all got it within
Emphasizing the inner strength possessed by everyone
So you've got nothing on us
Confident assertion that others have no power over us
Hold on
A repeated call to hold on, reinforcing resilience
Hold on
-When they try to bring you down
Facing adversity, the resolve to rise again and resist manipulation
Get up again, get up again
-When they try to mess around
-Get up again, get up again
-'Cause I don't really want anything to happen
Expressing a desire for change but not wanting things to remain the same
I don't really want anything to stay the same
-Hold on
Reiteration of the need to hold on despite challenges
Hold on
-You twist the tourniquet, the pressure's rising
Turning a metaphorical tourniquet, feeling pressure, seeking release
It's your line, just cut us free, to a new horizon
An invitation to break free from constraints and embrace new possibilities
Hold on, I'm goin' on the wire
Repeating the theme of facing challenges and emerging unharmed
Hold on, I'm goin' on the wire
-Hold on, I'm goin' on the wire
-Unharmed, we walk through the fire
-You know we've all got it within
Highlighting the internal strength that shields against external negativity
So you've got nothing to know
-When they try to bring you down
Responding to attempts to bring down or maintain the status quo
Get up again, get up again
-When they try to mess around
-Get up again, get up again
-'Cause I don't really want anything to happen
-I don't really want anything to stay the same
-Runaway, runaway
Running away and holding on as symbolic actions in the face of adversity
The only thing you do
-Runaway, runaway
-The only thing you do
-Just hold on
-Hold on
-Hold on
-Run around 10 feet off the ground
Metaphorical description of overcoming challenges and finding freedom
I got dark skies rollin' in (rollin' in, rollin' in)
-Climb the walls and tear em down
-I got tears comin' down my chin
-We will run and we will find what it takes to set us free
-You know cause I told you so since 1983, yeah
-When they try to bring you down
Repeated determination to rise above attempts to bring down or interfere
Get up again, get up again
-When they try to mess around
-Get up again, get up again
-When they try to bring you down
-Get up again, get up again
-When they try to mess around
-Get up again, get up again
-Runaway, runaway
Running away as a symbolic act of resistance and holding on despite challenges
The only thing you do
-Runaway, runaway
-The only thing you do
-Just hold on
-Runaway, runaway
Reiteration of running away and holding on as the key actions in the face of adversity
The only thing you do
-Runaway, runaway
-The only thing you do
-Just hold on
