Gotta Go
Agnostic Front Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gotta gotta gotta go
Two sounds of a revolution
Gotta gotta gotta go
In our hearts in our souls
Gotta gotta gotta go
United we stand divided we fall
Gotta gotta go
Can't keep touch with you or me
Gotta gotta go
Need sense of security
Gotta gotta go
Want to live my life for me
Gotta gotta go
Why can't they just let me be
Gotta gotta go
Say I'm crazy
Just brain dead
Planting thoughts
Within my head
Can't believe
What I've said
What has become of me
What has become of me
Don't believe what you've been told
Gotta gotta go
Never seen no streets paved in gold
Gotta gotta go
Mindless violence ruined me
Gotta gotta go
No such thing as something
Gotta gotta go
Say I'm crazy
Just brain dead
Planting thoughts
Within my head
Can't believe
What I've said
What has become of me
What has become of me
I gotta gotta go
Gotta gotta go
I gotta gotta go
Gotta gotta go
I gotta gotta get out of here
Gotta gotta go
I gotta gotta go
Gotta gotta go
I gotta gotta go
I gotta gotta go
I gotta gotta go
I gotta gotta get out of here
I gotta gotta go
I gotta gotta go
I gotta gotta go
Out of here
The lyrics to Agnostic Front's "Gotta Go" express a desire to break away from societal expectations and live life on one's own terms. The song begins with a call to action, urging the listener to move forward and embrace change. The repetition of "gotta go" creates a sense of urgency and determination, as though the singer is driven by a need to escape their current circumstances.
The second verse addresses the singer's need for personal freedom and security. They feel disillusioned by society's expectations and desire the opportunity to live their life for themselves. The refrain of "say I'm crazy" suggests that society may view the singer's desire for autonomy as foolish or misguided, but the singer is determined to follow their own path regardless.
The final verse reinforces the singer's disillusionment with society, stating that they have not seen the "streets paved in gold" that society promised. The line "mindless violence ruined me" perhaps references the violence and chaos that the singer has witnessed in their community. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the singer's determination to leave their current circumstances behind.
Overall, "Gotta Go" is a powerful anthem that encourages the listener to break free from societal constraints and live life on their own terms. The repetition of the chorus creates a sense of urgency and determination, while the lyrics speak to the frustrations and disillusionment many may feel with society.
