Cousin Cleotis
Capdown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There ain't no reason why not
Strike whilst the knives are hot
Eyes like a vision of rage
Seize the day, seize the moment
Yes this very moment
'cause the mountain of my anger,
It ain't no longer dormant
'cause the frustration of my ignorant days,
Is just a haze
Like a red eyed glazed gaze
So don't just sit on your ass,
Dreamin' of the better day, better way
Liberate yourself, your mind, mankind
Take the feelin' that lies deep inside
And make it reality

Line by Line Meaning
Together we can fly
We can achieve anything if we work together
There ain't no reason why not
There's no good reason not to try and succeed
Strike whilst the knives are hot
Take advantage of opportunities when they arise
Eyes like a vision of rage
We must be focused and determined to achieve our goals
Seize the day, seize the moment
We should take advantage of every opportunity that comes our way
Yes this very moment
We should act now rather than putting it off
'cause the mountain of my anger,
The anger we have must be used to fuel our desire to succeed
It ain't no longer dormant
We can no longer ignore our frustration and anger
And this feelin' ain't just a feelin' no more
Our desire to succeed cannot remain just a feeling
'cause the frustration of my ignorant days,
Our past mistakes and ignorance have led us to feel frustration
Is just a haze
We must move past our past mistakes and learn from them
Like a red eyed glazed gaze
Our determination is visible in our eyes
So don't just sit on your ass,
We must act rather than being passive
Dreamin' of the better day, better way
We should strive for a better future and a better way of life
Liberate yourself, your mind, mankind
We should free ourselves and others from constraints
Take the feelin' that lies deep inside
We should use our inner desire to succeed
And make it reality
We can turn our desires into tangible achievements
