Unprotected
Bob Fox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i live a strange life
like everything is perfectly arranged for me
i just survive here
i never thrive here
i'm in a culture of mediocrity
i live a sterile life
so i will never feel pain or suffering
i never cry here
i never try here
i'll never reach my full capacity
i want the real thing
i want the unprotected
i want the feeling that i am still alive
i want the real thing
i want the consequences i want the feeling that i am still alive
what would your mommy say what would your daddy say
if they knew we've been playing all night
long here why don't you take it off
why don't you tear it off why don't you show me
something i've never seen before
i want the real thing
i want the unprotected
i want the feeling that i am still alive
i want the real thing
i want the consequences
i want the feeling that i am still alive
give me the suffering
give me the bleeding
i'll take the pain and turn it in to ecstasy
i have to face the fear that i may die here
die having never really lived for anything
i want the real thing
i want The Unprotected
i want the feeling that i am still alive
i want the real thing
i want the consequences
i want the feeling that i am still alive
Bob Fox's song Unprotected highlights the theme of living a monotonous life that is devoid of excitement or any real experiences. The lyrics depict the singer as living a sheltered, sterile, and safe life which does not allow them to fully actualize their potential. This person lives in a culture of mediocrity where they never truly thrive or experience anything worth living for. The lyrics express the desire to break away from this mundane and protected existence and live a life that's raw, genuine, and uninhibited.
The singer yearns for real experiences, including the consequences that come with them. They express a desire for the unprotected, which breeds feelings of being alive. They know that they have to face their fears, even if it means putting themselves in harm's way to experience new things. The lyrics suggest that they are willing to go through blood, pain, and suffering to experience the ecstasy that comes with taking risks and truly living.
In summary, the song Unprotected is a call to break away from a life of mediocrity and safety nets and embrace the raw and genuine experiences life has to offer. It suggests that true living requires taking risks, facing fears, and accepting the consequences that come with such experiences.
