Eye Of The Tiger
Best of the 80's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hanging tough, staying hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger
Rising up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not going to stop
Just a man and his will to survive
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The song "Eye of the Tiger" by American rock band Survivor is an anthem about perseverance and determination. This motivational theme sets the tone from the very first line, "Rising up, back on the street." The singer has overcome adversity and is now back on his feet. He's a man with a will to survive who's taken his chances and gone the distance.
The singer warns listeners that they should not let go of their dreams or "passion for glory." He encourages them to "fight just to keep them alive." The chorus repeats the notion that the singer has the "eye of the tiger," representing strength and resilience. He's ready to face his rival and take on any challenge that comes his way. The repeated line, "It's the thrill of the fight," suggests that it's the journey, not just the victory, that's worth fighting for.
The song's appeal goes beyond its catchy melody and empowering lyrics. It was written as the theme song for the movie "Rocky III" in 1982, which boosted the song's popularity and gave it a cultural significance that still resonates today. "Eye of the Tiger" achieved massive commercial success, topping charts around the world, including the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song remains a popular workout and sports anthem, encouraging individuals to push themselves to their limits.

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful
and kindle in them the fire of your love.
Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created,
and you shall renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray.
O God, who have taught the hearts of the faithful
by the light of the Holy Spirit,
grant that in the same Spirit we may be truly wise
and ever rejoice in his consolation.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
