Destiny
Biermann Electric Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You think you smell blood
You fight for me
You fight for love
I believe what your saying
I understand and see
To give up this fight
you gotta make a choice
make a stand
time to be smart
time to be a man
face your mistakes
and face them with pride
if you don't have any
then find some inside
it's a long way to go
a long road to climb
and what we are doing
is a hell of a crime
destiny is calling
let's take her out
you better watch out
you fight for the thrill
you think you smell blood
you fight for me
you fight for love
to give up this war
is to give up being free
make a choice
make a stand
time to be smart
time to be a man
face your mistakes
and face them with pride
if you don't have any
then find some inside
It's a long way to go
a long road to climb
and what we are doing
is a hell of a crime
destiny is calling
lets take her out
you better watch out
The opening lines of "Destiny" by Biermann Electric suggest a fight, but different from the usual brawls, wars, or arguments. This battle could be an internal one, where the singer is fighting for the thrill, the high that comes from competing or striving for something. They "think" they smell blood, which implies either the scent of victory or the danger of a possible loss. The following line, "You fight for me, you fight for love," suggests that the fight may be for something or someone beyond themselves, maybe a loved one or a cause dear to their heart. It's a sacrifice and a difficult choice to make.
The next two stanzas show the singer's understanding and empathy towards the fighter. They find the cause noble and meaningful, even though it's a hard path to take. Giving up means losing freedom, and the singer doesn't want to surrender. The lyrics urge the fighter to make a choice and stand up for their cause like a wise, mature person. The lines "face your mistakes, and face them with pride if you don't have any, then find some inside," encourage taking responsibility for one's actions and finding strength in owning one's flaws. The last stanza reiterates the long-distance and difficult nature of the battle, presents it as a "crime," and calls for action to follow destiny.
Overall, the lyrics of "Destiny" by Biermann Electric deal with the themes of fighting, sacrifice, choice, and growth. It's not just about winning or losing, but also about seizing freedom and purpose, acknowledging one's limits and strengths, and pursuing destiny with caution and courage.
