You Are
Chilly Gonzales feat. Sticky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you keep seeking you will find
Don't want to follow
Down roads been walked before
It's so hard to find unopened doors
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Hey, Mr. Hero Walking a thin, fine line
Remember your roots, my friend
They're right down below
'Cause heroes come and heroes go
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
Count down to the change in life that's soon to come
Your life has just begun
The lyrics of Chilly Gonzales feat. Sticky's song "You Are" provide advice to listeners on their journey of seeking and becoming heroes. The first verse says, "Hey, Mr. Seeker / Hold on to this advice / If you keep seeking you will find / Don't want to follow / Down roads been walked before." This is a message of encouragement to keep on trying and not to give up, even when it seems like the journey is difficult, and there are obstacles in the way. The second verse speaks to anyone who is trying to be a hero or make a difference, and reminds them to stay true to their roots and not forget where they came from. The line "Under the microscope of life" suggests that while trying to achieve greatness, one may be scrutinized and judged by others.
The chorus focuses on the idea of change and new beginnings. The countdown, starting from ten and ending at one, symbolizes a transition to a new state of being. The line "Your life has just begun" is both a reminder that it is never too late to start, and also a validation of the listener's journey thus far.
The song is meant to inspire and motivate individuals on their journey of self-discovery and growth, and provides a reminder that they are not alone in their struggles.
