Rough Knuckles
Embrace the Call: Unveiling the Rebel Spirit in Supergrass' Rough Knuckles
Lyrics
Lost sight, looking for a way out
Feeling disoriented and seeking an escape.
It's a good time, to get your head together
Suggesting an opportune moment to gather one's thoughts.
Oh, bloodshot, don't wanna see you washed up
Warning against a troubled, bloodshot state, avoiding a decline.
In a hotel, I'll come up and check you out
Referencing a location (hotel) where a person is observed.
This is the call, wake up boy, you're on your own
A wake-up call, emphasizing independence.
Get out your guns, little outlaw on the run
Encouraging a rebellious stance, possibly against conformity.
You feel that you wouldn't take a fall
Suggesting confidence and resistance to failure.
Oh, she said you used to be a heart breaker
Referring to a past reputation as a heartbreaker.
There is no fun, sleeping with a shotgun
Highlighting the lack of enjoyment in a defensive, guarded state.
With your head back, you look to meet your maker, maker
Imagery of facing mortality, meeting one's maker.
This is the call, wake up boy, you're on your own
Reiteration of the call for self-reliance.
Get out your guns, little outlaw on the run
Continuation of the theme of rebellion and independence.
When you're rattled and cold
Describing a state of agitation and numbness.
Stoned, you can't feel it all
Suggesting a state of being under the influence, feeling detached.
So don't throw it all away
Advising against discarding opportunities recklessly.
Cause you never get it back
Emphasizing the irreversibility of certain actions.
Lost love, I'm a great adventure
Expressing a sense of adventure in the context of lost love.
Oh, so pick it up and put it back together
Encouraging resilience and rebuilding after setbacks.
When you're knocked down, it's hard to understand
Highlighting the difficulty in comprehending challenges when down.
When opportunity is holding out her hand
Indicating the presence of opportunities, urging their recognition.
This is the call, wake up boy, you're on your own
Reiteration of the call for self-reliance and readiness.
Get out your guns, little outlaw on the run
Continuation of the theme of rebelliousness and independence.
This is the call to arms, wake up boy, you're on your own
Emphasizing the urgency of self-awareness and independence.
Get out your guns, little outlaw on the run
Reiteration of the theme of rebellion, independence, and readiness.
