The Walk
Aly & Fila Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
89' with my mates
Running late
Cos' cleaning windows aint so great
Football's my only escape
17 years old
Got the whole world to own
But I'm happy where I am cos I'll never walk alone
Tell me where to go
"Please go this way"
But somehow I see it's not my fate
Other way I go
I didn't think about it like that 30 years ago
Didn't expect an overflow
And think that people my age would face the inevitable
Put our trust in the pigs even now they give us digs
Why you doing us like this?
Is it cos' we're working class?
You got your head up your ass? (Ass?)
Walk on
Walk on
Creating media lies?
Jog on
Fuck the sun
They're all scum
Just walk on
Walk on
Walk on
Walk on
Creating media lies?
Jog on
Fuck the sun
They're all scum
Just walk on
Walk on
Screams and cries
Why they telling lies?
I saw what was there
Couldn't believe my eyes
Have you seen someone die?
It's harrowing seeing someones demise
But you're gonna sit there? (There?)
In your ivory chair? (Chair?)
Thinking we won't read the headlines and care? (Care?)
My mate
Hasn't been to a match since that day!
Police are to blame
We were all told to go the fucking same way!
Oh my days
Why the fuck do people not realise it's fake?
How the fuck to people still read the fucking sun?
They're all scum!
But this part's not about me or my family
It's about the 96 in that tragedy
And their families
Being vilified and slaughtered by the media
Fuck the sun
That's it
I'm fucking done
The lyrics of Aly & Fila's song "The Walk" convey a story of personal experiences, frustration, and a strong criticism of the media's portrayal of certain events. The singer begins by describing a match day with their friends, expressing their excitement and contentment with their current situation. However, as they approach the stadium, they encounter police who direct them to a specific route. The singer's intuition tells them that it's not their fate to follow the prescribed path, and they make a different choice.
The anger and frustration start to build as the singer reflects on the manipulation of information by the media. They express disgust at the lies and propaganda created by these outlets, specifically mentioning "the sun" (referring to the British tabloid newspaper). The singer questions why people continue to trust and read such media sources, especially considering the harm caused to innocent people. The tragic events of the Hillsborough disaster, where 96 people lost their lives, are brought to attention. The media's treatment of the victims' families is condemned, and the singer asserts that they are done with accepting this mistreatment.
Overall, "The Walk" serves as a passionate outcry against the media's manipulation and mistreatment of individuals and communities, particularly exemplified by their coverage of the Hillsborough disaster.
Line by Line Meaning
Match day
It's game day
89' with my mates
I'm with my friends in the 89th minute
Running late
I'm in a hurry
Cos' cleaning windows aint so great
I dislike my job as a window cleaner
Football's my only escape
Football is my only way to escape reality
17 years old
I'm only 17 years old
Got the whole world to own
I feel like I can achieve anything
But I'm happy where I am cos I'll never walk alone
I'm content with my current situation because I have support
Police standing at the gate
There are police officers at the entrance
Tell me where to go
They are directing me where to go
"Please go this way"
The police officer instructs me to go in a specific direction
But somehow I see it's not my fate
I have a feeling that it's not the right way for me
Other way I go
I choose to go in another direction
I didn't think about it like that 30 years ago
In the past, I didn't consider this perspective
Didn't expect an overflow
I didn't anticipate such a large crowd
And think that people my age would face the inevitable
I didn't think that people of my generation would experience tragedy
Put our trust in the pigs even now they give us digs
We trusted the police, but they still disrespect us
Why you doing us like this?
Why are you treating us this way?
Is it cos' we're working class?
Is it because we're from the working class?
You got your head up your ass? (Ass?)
Do you have your head stuck up your own rear end?
Walk on
Carry on
Creating media lies?
Are they inventing false stories in the media?
Jog on
Get lost
Fuck the sun
I despise The Sun newspaper
They're all scum
They're all despicable
Just walk on
Keep moving forward
Screams and cries
Shouts of pain and sadness
Why they telling lies?
Why are they spreading falsehoods?
I saw what was there
I witnessed the truth
Couldn't believe my eyes
It was so shocking I couldn't accept it
Have you seen someone die?
Have you witnessed a person's death?
It's harrowing seeing someones demise
It's truly disturbing to witness someone's death
But you're gonna sit there? (There?)
But are you going to just sit and do nothing?
In your ivory chair? (Chair?)
In your privileged position
Thinking we won't read the headlines and care? (Care?)
Believing we won't pay attention and care about the news
My mate
Hasn't been to a match since that day!
My friend hasn't attended a game since that tragic event!
Police are to blame
The police are responsible
We were all told to go the fucking same way!
We were instructed to go in the same direction!
Oh my days
Oh my God
Why the fuck do people not realise it's fake?
Why don't people understand that it's false?
How the fuck to people still read the fucking sun?
Why do people still read The Sun newspaper?
They're all scum!
They're all terrible people!
But this part's not about me or my family
But this section is not about me or my family
It's about the 96 in that tragedy
It's about the 96 people who died in that disaster
And their families
And their loved ones
Being vilified and slaughtered by the media
Being unfairly criticized and attacked by the media
Fuck the sun
I hate The Sun newspaper
That's it
That's all
I'm fucking done
I'm completely finished
