Lyrics
Here is a thing you’d quite like to know (nothing can keep a man down)
There’s something desirable you’d want to learn (no circumstance can defeat a person)
One thing’s for sure we gonna reap what we sow (nothing can keep a man down)
We will face the consequences of our actions (no circumstance can defeat a person)
If there’s a fire or if there’s a comet oh (nothing can keep a man down)
Whether it’s a disaster or an extraordinary event (no circumstance can defeat a person)
Head in the clouds but feet on the ground (nothing can keep us down)
Being imaginative but grounded in reality (no circumstance can defeat us)
The requiem of reigning men
Symbolic funeral for the dominant male figure
Hold your head up as high as you can
Stay confident despite difficulties
Welcome to the promised land
Entering a place or time promised or expected
To the final age of men
Referring to an era where traditional masculinity is fading
Hold your head up as high as you can
Encouragement to maintain confidence
Welcome to the promised land
Reiteration of entering a promised time or place
To the final age of men
Reinforcing the idea of the fading era of traditional masculinity
Whether it’s losing or winning a war (nothing can keep a man down)
Regardless of winning or losing battles (no circumstance can defeat a person)
Whether it’s kicking in open doors (nothing can keep a man down)
Facing challenges head-on (no circumstance can defeat a person)
Whether it’s hanging around on the moon (nothing can keep a man down)
Even in extraordinary situations (no circumstance can defeat a person)
Drawing conclusions way too soon (nothing can keep us down)
Jumping to conclusions prematurely (no circumstance can defeat us)
The requiem of reigning men
Continuing the symbolic funeral for traditional masculinity
Hold your head up as high as you can
Urging to maintain confidence despite circumstances
Welcome to the promised land
Referencing the promised or expected time or place
To the final age of men
Reflecting on the fading era of traditional masculinity
Hold your head up as high as you can
Encouragement to hold onto confidence
Welcome to the promised land
Reiteration of entering a promised time or place
To the final age of men
Reinforcing the idea of the fading era of traditional masculinity
Let’s get to the eulogy
Transition to discussing a speech honoring the end of traditional masculinity
You won’t ever get an apology
No apologies for the changes occurring
Let’s blame it all on biology
Attributing the changes to biological factors
It’s masculinity
Blaming the decline on the concept of traditional masculinity
Let’s get to the eulogy
Reiteration of discussing the speech honoring the end of traditional masculinity
You won’t ever get an apology (It’s way too late, it’s way too late)
No chance of apologies (too late to change)
Let’s blame it all on biology (It’s way too late, it’s way too late)
Continuing to attribute changes to biological factors (too late to change)
It’s masculinity
Reinforcing the blame on traditional masculinity (too late to change)
Hold your head up as high as you can
Encouragement to maintain confidence despite circumstances
Welcome to the promised land
Referencing the promised or expected time or place
To the final age of men
Reflecting on the fading era of traditional masculinity
Hold your head up as high as you can
Encouragement to hold onto confidence
Welcome to the promised land
Reiteration of entering a promised time or place
To the final age of men
Reinforcing the idea of the fading era of traditional masculinity
