Lyrics

Go long, I’m coming up strong

Expressing determination and strength, ready to face challenges.

Finger next to thumb, hand shaped like a gun

Symbolizing a confident and assertive gesture, possibly indicating power or control.

Eden was fun but I’m done with Adam

Reflecting on a past experience (Eden) and deciding to move on from it.

I wanna buy in to original sin

Desire to embrace a rebellious or non-conformist lifestyle.


Break neck speed cause I gotta get fitter

Emphasizing urgency in personal improvement and fitness.

I’ll make me great again, put that on a bumper sticker

Expressing a desire for personal greatness and using it as a statement.

I kick in my sleep, I drip when I sweat

Indicating involuntary physical reactions during sleep.

I left my wheel spinning at the cash roulette

Metaphorically leaving something to chance, like a game of roulette.


What does it take to show courage?

Pondering the requirements for demonstrating courage.

I know that I could in the moment

Acknowledging the potential for courage in specific situations.

If you see a fin in the water

Imagining a dangerous situation involving a shark in the water.

Would you go quietly or would you just wanna?

Questioning how one would react in the face of danger.


Dagger tongue cut deeper than a balled up fist

Comparing the impact of words (dagger tongue) to physical violence.

But I’ve no shame in bleeding freely I was born like this

Embracing one's nature, even if it involves vulnerability and openness.

Blank faces wave from their ships

Observing detachment or indifference from others in the surroundings.

But in the deeper water I will learn how to swim

Expressing a determination to overcome challenges and learn from them.


There’s a drum somewhere that’s banging my name

Feeling a sense of destiny or purpose, represented by a drumbeat.

A broken down record plays the same refrain

Noting repetition or stagnation in certain aspects of life.

Take what you’re owed that’s the promise it makes

Encouraging to claim what is rightfully deserved.

Hold your head high baby you will be whole again

Instilling confidence and reassurance in facing challenges.


What does it take to show courage?

Repeating the theme of exploring courage in different situations.

I know that I could in the moment

Affirming personal capability to demonstrate courage when needed.

If you see a fin in the water

Revisiting the shark metaphor, questioning personal reactions to danger.

Would I go quietly or would I just wanna?

Considering one's own response in a hypothetical risky situation.
