Another One Bites the Dust
Bracia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the brim pulled way down low
Aint no sound but the sound of his feet,
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
How do you think I'm going to get along,
Without you, when you're gone
You took me for everything that I had,
And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Chorus
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him
You can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him
When he's down
But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating the sound of the beat
The lyrics of "Another One Bites the Dust" by Bracia describe a man named Steve who walks down the street with the brim of his hat pulled low and the sound of his feet being the only noise. He is armed and ready for action, and the sound of his machine gun matches the beat of the music. The chorus repeats the phrase "Another one bites the dust" which means that another person has been taken out by Steve's gun. The second verse is directed towards the person who has left the singer and taken everything from him. The singer is left alone and wonders how he will survive without his loved one. The bridge of the song talks about how there are many ways to hurt someone and bring them down, but Steve is ready for whatever comes his way.
The song's lyrics can be interpreted in different ways. Some fans believe that the song is about an assassin who is on a mission to kill multiple targets, while others believe that the song is more metaphorical and represents the struggles of life. The line, "Are you ready for this?" might relate to the challenges that life throws our way, and the feeling of being constantly on edge, while the recurring line, "Another one bites the dust" might relate to the challenges and obstacles that we overcome.

Steve walks warily down the street,
Steve is walking down the street with caution
With the brim pulled way down low
He has pulled the brim of his hat down low
Aint no sound but the sound of his feet,
There is no sound except for the sound of his footsteps
Machine guns ready to go
He is carrying machine guns with him
Are you ready, are you ready for this
Are you prepared for what is about to happen?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Are you nervous or excited?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Bullets are being fired out of the doorway
To the sound of the beat
The bullets are being fired in time with the music
Another one bites the dust
Another person has been defeated
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
He plans to defeat someone else as well
How do you think I'm going to get along,
How do you think I'll manage on my own?
Without you, when you're gone
When you're not around anymore
You took me for everything that I had,
You took everything I owned
And kicked me out on my own
You left me with nothing
Are you happy, are you satisfied
Are you content with what you've done?
How long can you stand the heat
How long can you endure the consequences of your actions?
Another one bites the dust
Another person has been defeated
There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
There are many ways to cause harm to someone
And bring him to the ground
And to defeat him
You can beat him
You can physically harm him
You can cheat him
You can deceive him
You can treat him bad and leave him
You can mistreat him and abandon him
When he's down
When he is at his weakest
But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
But he is prepared for the fight
I'm standing on my own two feet
He is independent and strong
Repeating the sound of the beat
He keeps moving forward with determination
