Arsenal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Itâ??s a supervisor hitting the outlaw on the scene
And youâ??ll be ready, when time erased your deeds.
What is the use of warning, when nothing can be done?
This is how Iâ??m feeling; you kind of hit me numb
Switch the mood to sorry
Sometimes I am real, sometimes I am faking, what is in between?
You were great without warning.
Youâ??re seeding out my soul.
You were caving in; somehow it smelled like rock â??n roll
Fun to be depraving after all.
Boy you are in trouble,
For yes, Iâ??m on another level
Where is the fun, is it all youâ??re living on?
Switch the mood to sorry
Sometimes I feel, itâ??s a one step, itâ??s a good feel,
Itâ??s a strange deal itâ??s a jog, right!
Boy you are in trouble,
For yes, Iâ??m on another level
Where is the fun, is it all youâ??re living on?
Switch the mood to sorry
Sometimes I feel
The lyrics of Arsenal's song "Switch" address various themes such as regret, ambiguity, and self-reflection. The first few lines, "It's that second in between, it's the boiling point indeed / It's a supervisor hitting the outlaw on the scene / And you'll be ready, when time erased your deeds," convey a sense of urgency and tension. The line "And you'll be ready, when time erased your deeds" suggests that the singer is aware of the consequences of their actions and is willing to face them.
The next set of lines, "What is the use of warning, when nothing can be done? / This is how I'm feeling; you kind of hit me numb / Switch the mood to sorry / Sometimes I am real, sometimes I am faking, what is in between?" reflect on the futility of giving warnings when nothing can be done. The singer is affected by something or someone that has left them feeling numb and confused. They acknowledge that they have different sides to them, and there is ambiguity in their emotions.
The chorus, "Boy you are in trouble, for yes, I'm on another level / Where is the fun, is it all you're living on? / Switch the mood to sorry / Sometimes I feel, it's a one-step, it's a good feel, / It's a strange deal, it's a jog, right!" seems to address someone who may be in trouble due to their actions or behavior. The singer asserts authority by claiming to be on another level, and questions the other person's motivations for their behavior.
Overall, the lyrics of "Switch" suggest a range of emotions and thoughts. It's a reflection on the complexities of human nature and the consequences of our actions.

What is the use of warning, when nothing can be done?
This is how I'm feeling; you kind of hit me numb
Switch the mood to sorry
Sometimes I am real, sometimes I am faking, what is in between?
You were great without warning
You're seeding out my soul
You were caving in; somehow it smelled like rock ‘n roll
Fun to be depraving after all
Boy you are in trouble
For yes, I'm on another level
Where is the fun, is it all you're living on?
Switch the mood to sorry
Sometimes I feel, it's a one step, it's a good feel
It's a strange deal it's a jog, right!
Boy you are in trouble
For yes, I'm on another level
Where is the fun, is it all you're living on?
Switch the mood to sorry
Sometimes I feel
What is the use of you and me when all we do is wrong?
This is how I'm feeling; this is how it should be done:
We used to find a way, I cannot let it go
We used to let it slide to a super sigh high
If we could get a name, we could get far
You could never imagine what a lust life
You would like, you would like
Have you ever driven to the sunshine?
Oh yes, I'm on another level
Where is the fun, is it all you're living on?
Switch the mood to sorry
Sometimes I am real, it's a one step, it's a good feel
It's a strange deal it's a jog, right!
You're just plain too solid
You're just way too solid
Or falling out and I just come to solve it
Switch the mood to sorry, sometimes I am real…
Boy you are in trouble
For yes, I'm on another level
Where is the fun, is it all you're living on
You would never like, you would never like
If you were left alone in lust life
You wouldn't like, you wouldn't like
Have you ever driven to the sunshine?

Dit is de echte Arsenal voor mij.. Oyebo Soul en Outsides heb ik beide zwaar grijs gedraaid. Hun laatste cd zegt me dan ook veel minder. Wow, die speciale feeling die ze opwekken bij hun nummers, chapeau! Iedereen heeft wel zijn eigen herinneringen, bedenkingen, een bepaalde kleur bij hun nummers. Arsenal, cool
atzerath
Oranje. God weet waarom maar dit nr is Oranje en dat is het enkel omdat ik las dat iedereen blijkbaar een bepaalde kleur moet hebben bij 'n nr en toen ineens dacht ik Oranje. Raar hoor...
Donatella Fagioli
dit had een grotere hit moeten worden !! zwaar ondergewaardeerd !!
Stijn Van Melkebeke
zoals zoveel nummers ......
