Hats Off to the Bull
Chevelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All our needs put together
Don't bleed on their own
You paid for an eyeful
So behold the bull
Why can't I look up, (out in the clearing)
Tell me what's there below, (end over end)
While he's safe for the moment, (guess what he's learning)
He's never safe from the crowd, come one

So hats off to the bull
No giving up
(Either way, it makes ya mad)
(Well some of us)
Hats off to the bull, keep giving all
(What ya say we make amends)

To be monumental
Could mean the beyond
The simpler the treasure
Means the higher the cost
Well as for the ending, damn right I'm learning
You might ask for the door, end over end
Well I hate how the clouds hide
The gasps from above

So hats off to the bull
No giving up
(Either way, it makes ya mad)
(Well some of us)
Hats off to the bull, keep giving all
(What ya say we make amends)

Find your challenge, suffer miles
Colors gray, he brings them out
Don't mind the challenge, suffer miles
A little shallow, if I don't say

Hats off to the bull
His time ain't up
(Bitter hell in the lion's den)
For some of us
Hats off to the bull
The sun won't set
(Till the pain and the final breath)

So hats off to the bull
No giving up
(Either way, it makes ya mad)
(Well some of us)
Hats off to the bull, keep giving all
(What ya say we make amends)

Hats off to the bull
No giving up
Hats off to the bull
Keep giving up
Hats off to the bull
No giving up
Hats off to the bull

Line by Line Meaning

All our needs put together Don't bleed on their own
When we combine all our needs, they tend to blend in and don't stand out on their own.


You paid for an eyeful So behold the bull
You've spent a lot of money to see the bull in all its glory, so take a good look at it.


Why can't I look up, (out in the clearing) Tell me what's there below, (end over end) While he's safe for the moment, (guess what he's learning) He's never safe from the crowd, come one
I can't look up and see what's beyond the bull in the clearing. And even though the bull may seem safe right now, it's constantly learning and never truly safe from the crowd.


So hats off to the bull No giving up (Either way, it makes ya mad) (Well some of us) Hats off to the bull, keep giving all (What ya say we make amends)
We should applaud the bull for its strength and bravery, and never give up on our own pursuits. It may anger us, but it's worth it for some of us. Let's keep going and make peace with our struggles.


To be monumental Could mean the beyond The simpler the treasure Means the higher the cost Well as for the ending, damn right I'm learning You might ask for the door, end over end Well I hate how the clouds hide The gasps from above
Achieving something monumental means going beyond what we previously thought was possible. Sometimes simplicity may seem easier, but it comes with a higher cost. As for the end, I'm learning a lot, and you might try to leave quickly. I hate how the clouds cover up the gasps from above.


Find your challenge, suffer miles Colors gray, he brings them out Don't mind the challenge, suffer miles A little shallow, if I don't say
Find the challenge that pushes you to go the distance, even if the journey is tough. The bull may make things seem bleak, but it also highlights the colors in our lives. So don't be afraid of the challenge, even if it seems shallow to some.


Hats off to the bull His time ain't up (Bitter hell in the lion's den) For some of us Hats off to the bull The sun won't set (Till the pain and the final breath)
We should still respect the bull, even though it's been through a lot. Some of us have been through our own bitter hells, and we understand the struggle. But the sun won't set until we take our final breath, so let's keep fighting.


Hats off to the bull No giving up Hats off to the bull Keep giving up Hats off to the bull No giving up Hats off to the bull
We should always acknowledge the bull's strength and perseverance, and never give up on our own journey, just like the bull. Let's keep going and keep fighting, no matter what.

All our needs put together
Don't bleed on their own
You're paid for an eyeful
So behold the bull

Why can't I look up
(out in the clearing)
Tell me what's there below
(end over end)
While he's safe for the moment
(guess what I'm learning)
He's never safe from the crowd

Ohh, so hats off to the bull
No giving up
Either way it makes ya mad
Well some of us
Hats off to the bull
Keep giving all
What ya say we make amends?

To be monumental
Could mean the beyond
(Could mean the beyond)
The simpler the treasure
Means the higher the cost
(Means the higher the cost)

Well as for the ending
(damn right I'm learning)
You might ask for the door
(end over end)
Well I hate how the clouds hide
The gasps from above

Ohh, so hats off to the bull
No giving up
Either way it makes ya mad
Well some of us
Hats off to the bull
Keep giving all
What ya say we make amends?

Find your challenge
Suffer miles
Colors grey
He brings them out
Don't mind the challenge
Suffer miles
A little shallow
If I don't
Say

Hats off to the bull
His time ain't up
Bitter hell in the lion's den
For some of us
Hats off to the bull
The sun won't set
'Til the pain and the final breath

So hats off to the bull
No giving up
Either way it makes ya mad
Well some of us
Hats off to the bull
Keep giving all
What ya say we make amends?

Ohh, hats off to the bull
No giving up
Hats off to the bull
Keep giving all
Hats off to the bull
No giving up
Hats off to the bull

Chevelle has some of the best guitar riffs.

Sacrificiallamb

They honestly do

MrFlipperInvader792

The entire Wonder What's Next album

Weston rundlett

One of the few bands that actually IMPROVED over time!

lightningstriking7

Definitely... And they're not like other bands that change with the times because they've gone commercial. These guys do their own thing, stay true to it, are really good at what they do and hopefully this trend reaches others with the same potential!

Lexi Hayden

Though they’ve improved, the point #1 album will always remain one of my favorites.

MrFlipperInvader792

They were always great

Wonder what's next is an amazing album

Randall Cobb

Indeed and that's saying alot seeing as how great wonder whats next is

Luc ky

I listen to many, many bands, and they all keep on improving over textures, sounds, ambiances and topics through the years ... you just have to keep digging them
