Survivor
Blank Jones with Mike Francis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
don't close your eyes
take advantage
sliding on the night
hey survivor
Don't matter who you are
time ran so far away
and you must save your life
Hey survivor
Lonely with the moon
heart is broken
and there's nothing else to loose,
you're the one that we belong to
they chose the game to play
but they won't win again
(we know you can do it now....)
Hey survivor
you're gonna fly away
to the places you've been
many times with a friend
hey survivor,
don't you be afraid
we are waiting for you
and soon you'll be back again
hey survivor,
we're gonna fly away
there will be another day
and people won't be afraid
hey survivor
you will fall in love again,
knockin' on the door
you will think about the things
to say

The lyrics evoke a sense of empathy and understanding towards those who are fighting their own battles.

„Blank & Jones grew up with his music in the 80s and convinced Mike
Francis in 2005 to return to the microphone. Together they recorded a cover
version of the van Morrison classic "Someone Like You" for their
famous "Relax" series. The vibe was right and so they not only
decided to record a whole Blank & Jones album ("Relax Edition
Three") with Mike Francis as lead singer, but also produced in return
his comeback album "Inspired" (2007). Sadly this fantastic singer
and wonderful person passed away in 2009 far too early.”

Le note e l'atmosfera di Survivor provocano ogni volta un brivido, seppur malinconico, comunque pieno di energia e di emozione per chi, come me, ha vissuto gli anni '80
