Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not the kind of person you think I am
I'm not the anti-christ or the iron man
I have a vision that I just can't control
I feel I've lost my spirit and sold my soul

Got no control

I try to entertain you the best I can
I wish I'd started walking before I ran
But I still love the feeling I get from you,
I hope you'll never stop 'cause' it gets me through yeah
It gets me through yeah

The feelings that I hide behind
Sometimes reality's unkind
The nightmares stalk for me at night
I dread the long and lonely nights

I'm not the kind of person you think I am
I'm not the anti-christ or the iron man
But I still love the feeling I get from you
I hope you'll never stop 'cause' it gets me through yeah

I'm just trying to live yeah
I'm just trying to live yeah




I'm just trying to live yeah
I'm just trying to live yeah

Overall Meaning

In the song Gets Me Through by Ozzy Osbourne, he starts off by clarifying that he is not the person that people might perceive him as. He dismisses the labels given to him by stating that he is not the anti-christ nor is he the iron man. He talks about a vision within himself that he cannot control and how he feels as though he has lost his spirit and sold his soul. This is a very powerful message, and the use of the word "vision" in the lyrics is symbolic of how he sees his life playing out, yet he feels like he has no control over it.


The lyrics then take a turn when he talks about how he tries to entertain his audience as best he can, and though he wishes he'd taken things slower instead of jumping right in, he still loves the feeling he gets from the support he gets from his fans. The last two lines of the first verse are repeated throughout the song to emphasize how important it is to him. The second verse talks about how he keeps his feelings hidden from others and how reality can be harsh. The nightmares that he faces at night are also mentioned and how he hates the long, lonely nights because of them.


The chorus is then repeated, and it is clear that the overall message behind this song is about how he is just like everyone else. He's trying to live his life to the best of his ability and keep his head up and try to move forward despite the obstacles that come his way. The song is incredibly powerful and speaks volumes about the struggles that he has faced and overcome in life.

What scares me is not when one day Ozzy will no longer be with us, and will leave a huge legacy, what scares me is that no one will make music like this anymore. Thanks Ozzy

@dethtripradio999

Rock and Roll will have future titans, just have faith.

@linziRyan1965

A constant fear for me. When Ozzy goes Iโ€™m going to lose my mind.

@Garrys-Larry35

The only thing you should be scared of is Ozzy ruling Hell
