Lyrics

Stoke the fire feel the heat

Stoking the fire and feeling the heat; creating intensity or excitement.

Your chance to burn out on the streets

Opportunity to exhaust oneself in the challenges of the streets; facing risks and hardships.

Smash and grab on the run

Engaging in quick theft or robbery while on the move.

Play the game with a loaded gun

Playing a risky game with a loaded gun, implying dangerous decision-making.

The litle bird has left his nest

Metaphorically describing a young individual leaving the safety of home.

He feeds no more on mothers breast

Symbolizing independence as the individual no longer depends on maternal care.

On your own you take the choice

Facing a moment of decision where one must choose a path alone.

Listen to your inner voice

Encouraging self-reflection and following one's instincts.


If I was you and you were me

Raising a hypothetical scenario, questioning life choices and decisions.

Would you live your life differently

Asking if one would lead a different life if in the shoes of the other person.

If I was you and you were me

Reiterating the contemplation of life choices and potential regrets.


Make your mark use the knife

Encouraging making a significant impact, even if it involves cutting through difficulties.

Your following your own advice

Following one's own advice and principles; being self-directed.

What you sow is what you reap

Highlighting the consequences of one's actions, suggesting accountability.

You can't stop now your in too deep

Emphasizing the irreversibility of committed actions, being too deeply involved to retreat.

You started life as something new

Reflecting on the journey from birth to the present state.

Innocent untill you grew

Emphasizing innocence in the early stages of life before growth and experience.


If I was you and you were me

Repeating the hypothetical scenario, urging further reflection.

Would you live your life differently

Posing the question again, encouraging a reconsideration of life choices.

If I was you and you were me

Repeating the contemplative theme, reinforcing the significance of personal reflection.
