Guts
All Time Low牯 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shooting for the stars
Desperately reaching
For something in the dark
Pictures of memories

Buried in my heart
Lie awake and dream of
The endless possibilities
Catch my breath and go for it

Take apart
Everything that's
Holding me down
Make a point
To pick a new direction
To make a new connection

Is this what it feels like?
Finding out
That I've got the guts
To say anything
Feels like
Breaking out
When I can
Give up my reputation
Finally,
I can see
Honestly, I've got the guts
To say anything

Bold enough to fall
Flat on my face
But I walk as they crawl
Slowing down
It's just a waste of
Time to let go
Tapping my fingers
To the rhythm of a metronome
Counting opportunities

Take apart
The gravity
That's holding me down
Make a point
To find a resolution
To be my own solution

Is this what it feels like?
Finding out
That I've got the guts
To say anything
Feels like
Breaking out
When I can
Give up my reputation
Finally,
I can see
Honestly, I've got the guts
To say anything

Go down
Let me go
Let me go
Down alone
Let me go
Down
Just let me go
Down

If I'm gonna go down
Then just let me go
Let me go, down
Let me go, down
Just let me go
Let me go
(Go, go, go, go,
Go, go, go, go)

It feels like
Finding out
That I've got the guts
To say anything
Feels like
Breaking out
When I can
Give up my reputation

Finally,
I can see
Honestly, I've got the guts
To say anything
Finally,
I can see




Honestly, I've got the guts
To say anything

Overall Meaning

In "Guts," All Time Low sings about breaking free from self-doubt and taking risks. The line "shooting for the stars" implies a lofty goal, while "desperately reaching for something in the dark" suggests a struggle to find one's way. The "pictures of memories buried in my heart" represent past experiences that have shaped the singer's perspective. Despite any fears or insecurity, the singer resolves to "take apart everything that's holding me down" and "make a point to pick a new direction, to make a new connection." The chorus repeats how the singer has the guts to speak their mind, even at the risk of falling down.


The second verse builds on this theme, with more references to feeling held back. The line "bold enough to fall flat on my face" suggests that failure is inevitable when taking risks, but it's still better than standing still. The singer encourages themselves, and by extension the audience, to "take apart the gravity that's holding me down" and "find a resolution to be my own solution." The bridge repeats the theme of letting go of reputation and giving into the freedom that comes with saying anything.


"Guts" is an empowering anthem that encourages listeners to step out of their comfort zones and take chances. It poses the question, "Is this what it feels like?" as if to acknowledge that risk-taking can be daunting, but ultimately worth it. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy hooks make it an easy song to dance or sing along to, while its positive message can provide motivation to face challenges in life.
