Underground
Embrace the Resilience: Journey through the Underground
Lyrics
Stare at the gates there's a time and place
Contemplating the entrance, indicating a specific time and place.
When the lions arrive and they're comin' your way
A metaphorical reference to challenges (lions) approaching.
Outback in the corner of a crooked town
In an isolated part of a corrupt town.
Duck down better hit the ground
Urgency to take cover, suggesting danger.
This ain't no sunset cruise
Contrasting a challenging situation with a pleasant one.
No hope in hell someone's helpin' you
Absence of assistance, expressing a tough reality.
These hard knock streets ain't paved with gold
Highlighting the harshness of the streets, not paved with luxury.
They were built by skin and bones
Emphasizing that the streets were constructed through struggle.
When it all comes tumblin' down
Describing a moment of collapse.
And the gear is in your heart
The essence of the experience resides in the heart.
For a moment that you fell
Reflecting on a fleeting moment of failure.
Don't let it fall apart
Encouragement not to let the situation disintegrate.
Welcome to the underground
Introduction to a subversive or unconventional realm.
There's no way to turn back now
Acknowledging an irreversible path.
I'll show you what it's all about
Offering to reveal the true nature of the situation.
Follow me, I'll take you down to the underground
Inviting others to join in the unconventional realm.
If death's gonna deal you one more try
Facing death with determination.
Then stare his stone cold in the eye
Encouraging confrontation with challenges.
Don't be denied just don't show your guard
Advising against revealing vulnerability.
Or the sweat and the panic starts
Warning about the onset of stress and panic.
If you've been knocked out behind closed doors
Alluding to setbacks experienced privately.
Then come through the desert and name your horse
Metaphorically overcoming challenges and giving a name to resilience.
Rebuild the course and rewrite all the rules
Recreating and redefining life's course and rules.
'Cause we weren't born to lose
Assertion of the innate resilience to avoid defeat.
When it all comes tumblin' down
Reiteration of a collapse or downfall.
And the gear is in your heart
Reaffirming the emotional impact in the heart.
For a moment that you fell
Reflecting on a momentary lapse in resilience.
Don't let it fall apart
Encouragement to prevent a complete breakdown.
Welcome to the underground
Reintroduction to the subversive environment.
There's no way to turn back now
Emphasizing the irreversibility of the journey.
I'll show you what it's all about
Promising an unveiling of the true nature of the situation.
Follow me, I'll take you down to the underground
Guiding others to the unconventional realm.
They'll hang you up, they'll bleed you dry
Anticipating betrayal and exploitation.
The hand that feeds you might rob you blind
Caution about potential harm from those providing support.
For all you're worth, just one last chance
Acknowledging the value of one last opportunity.
Hold on tight because you're not dead yet
Encouragement to hold on in the face of adversity.
Welcome to the underground
Reiteration of the subversive environment.
There's no way to turn back now
Confirmation of the irreversible path.
I'll show you what it's all about
Revealing the true nature of the situation.
Follow me, I'll take you down to the underground
Guiding others to join in the unconventional realm.
They'll hang you up, they'll bleed you dry
Warning about potential betrayal and exploitation.
Welcome to the underground
Reaffirmation of the subversive environment.
They'll hang you up, they'll bleed you dry
Repetition of the warning about potential betrayal and exploitation.
Welcome to the underground
Final welcome to the unconventional realm.
