Walk The Line
Ben l'Oncle Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That we've never heard
Many things your eyes have seen beyond the veil
And when we speak of freedom
Do you hear the words?
Or you had to bite the taste
Of your own strength?
In this life, you've got to walk the line
Tell myself
That everything's gonna be fine
In this life you've got to walk the line
And be brave, you'll make it through one more time
I had a dream one day
To be full and pure
A little birdie came and sang a song to me
She said, we may be in the cage
But the cage is not in us
Don't you let nobody hold you back
No cage is strong enough to bind me
And God has the perfect timing
And then tomorrow your cage is coming
So tomorrow your time is coming
In this life you've got to walk the line
Tell myself
That everything's gonna be fine
In this life you've got to walk the line
And be brave, you'll make it through one more time
In this life you've got to walk the line
Tell myself
That everything is gonna be fine
In this life you've got to walk the line
And be brave, you'll make it through one more time
We doesn't know, don't we
You gotta believe it
I know, I know it's hard to see
But you gotta believe it
The lyrics of Ben l'Oncle Soul's song Walk The Line speak about the importance of resilience in life. The song opens with a reflection on the vastness of the world and all the experiences that lie beyond what we have seen and heard so far in life. It then turns to the idea of freedom, questioning if we truly hear the words when we speak of it or if we have had to fight for it in our own lives.
The chorus emphasizes the need to stay determined and focused, walking the line and being brave through difficult times. The second verse tells the story of a dream to be pure and unburdened, but the reality of being trapped in a cage. However, the little birdie that sings to the singer reminds them that the cage is not in them and that they can break free from anything that holds them back. The verse ends on a note of hope and faith in the timing of life, that no cage or difficult situation can hold us forever.
Overall, Walk The Line is a message of perseverance and determination in the face of life's challenges. It encourages listeners to stay strong and believe in their abilities to overcome obstacles and walk towards a better future.

There's so many sounds
There is an infinite amount of things that make noise
That we've never heard
There are still unlimited things that we have yet to listen to
Many things your eyes have seen beyond the veil
There are also many things that we have already seen but have deeper meanings if we look past the surface
And when we speak of freedom
Discussing the idea of true freedom
Do you hear the words?
Can you truly comprehend what it means to be free?
Or you had to bite the taste
Have you had to struggle and fight to obtain that freedom?
Of your own strength?
Or was it something that came from within?
In this life, you've got to walk the line
In life, it is important to stay on the straight and narrow
Tell myself
Reminding oneself
That everything's gonna be fine
That everything will eventually work out in the end
And be brave, you'll make it through one more time
Having the courage to keep going and pushing through tough times
I had a dream one day
Once, I had a vision
To be full and pure
To be complete and unblemished
A little birdie came and sang a song to me
An unexpected source of wisdom opened my eyes
She said, we may be in the cage
The words of the bird were that we may feel trapped in our current situation
But the cage is not in us
However, we have the power to change ourselves and escape that feeling of being trapped
Don't you let nobody hold you back
Do not let anyone prevent you from pursuing your dreams and achieving your goals
No cage is strong enough to bind me
No obstacle is too challenging for me to overcome
And God has the perfect timing
Divine intervention will occur when it is meant to happen
And then tomorrow your cage is coming
However, tomorrow will bring new challenges
So tomorrow your time is coming
But success will also come in due time
We doesn't know, don't we
Although we may not be sure
You gotta believe it
We must have faith in ourselves and our future
I know, I know it's hard to see
I understand that it can be difficult to stay optimistic
But you gotta believe it
But having faith is essential to moving forward
