On The Line
Gambling with Destiny: Unveiling Life's High Stakes in Ross Loudon's 'On The Line'
Lyrics
I ain't got nothing to show for it
I have nothing tangible to demonstrate or display.
But things sound better in my head
My thoughts and ideas sound more appealing in my mind than in reality.
I ain't had no I gotta go for a whiles
I haven't experienced the need to leave or depart for a considerable time.
I ain't had the short end of the stick
I haven't faced unfavorable circumstances or disadvantages.
In-fact the grass is green everywhere I tread
In fact, prosperity is present everywhere I go.
Except the leather walls and black floor tiles
Except in places with luxurious walls and dark floor tiles.
Watch your step
Be cautious and mindful of your actions.
Gambling all night long
Engaging in prolonged gambling can be detrimental to your well-being.
Can take your breath
Gambling excessively can leave you breathless.
And If you fall
If you make a mistake or stumble, someone important won't be happy.
She won't be pleased
A person, likely a significant other, will be displeased upon discovering your absence.
When she finds out you're gone
Encouraging taking risks, as symbolized by rolling dice.
Roll the dice
Enjoy the moment and experience life.
Breath it in
Inhale deeply and savor the present.
Take your time
Don't rush; take your time.
Tonight
Emphasizing the importance of the current evening or situation.
Put your cards on the line
Make your choices or decisions clear and upfront.
It's a nice view from where I'm at
Expressing contentment with the current perspective or situation.
A San Francisco in my hand
Comparing holding onto something valuable to having San Francisco in hand.
If I'm gonna leave I'm gonna go out in style
If I decide to leave, I want to do so with flair and elegance.
Watch your step
Reiterating the need to be cautious and considerate in actions.
Gambling all night long
Continuing the theme of the risks associated with prolonged gambling.
Can take your breath
Highlighting the physical toll of excessive gambling.
And If you fall
