Balboa/Rosetta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got my gloves on and I'm ready to strike
I'm standing in your shadow looking for mine
Will you be there for me in the battle of life?
I'm open yes I'm broken
In this nightmare where do we go?
Strike out and fade into black
No way out but into cover
I bleed and I'm counting my teeth
But I'm back on my feet
And I will not stand down
I won't rest until I'm done
I am the Balboa Son
The Balboa Son
The Balboa Son
I'm standing low and I'm not ready to fight
(So afraid to lose)
I've got no gloves on I'm not ready to strike
(Have I lost my way?)
I'm hiding in your shadow looking for mine
Will you be there for me in the battle of life?
I'm open yes I'm broken
In this nightmare where do we go?
Strike out and fade into black
No way out but into cover
I bleed and I'm counting my teeth
But I'm back on my feet
And I will not stand down
I won't rest until I'm done
I am the Balboa Son
The Balboa Son
The Balboa Son
I've got my gloves on and I'm ready to fight
I've got my gloves on and I'm ready to strike
I've got my gloves on and I'm ready to fight
I've got my gloves on and I'm ready to strike
I'm open yes I'm broken
In this nightmare where do we go?
Strike out and fade into black
No way out but into cover
I bleed and I'm counting my teeth
But I'm back on my feet
And I will not stand down
I won't rest until I'm done
I am the Balboa Son
The Balboa Son
The Balboa Son
I am the Balboa Son
The Balboa Son
