Whatever It Takes
D.D.S. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whatever it takes (and) we gots to separate
Whatever it takes all these true from the fakes
Whatever it takes (and/'cause) this is how we show and prove
Whatever it takes 'cause we ain't got nothin' to lose
Whatever it takes
Face to face with aggression, debolish and molish the opposition
This ammunition, fills a vision that makes decisions
I told you once before but it's obvious you didn't listen
So listen closely, or next time you want to quote me
and take my advice, you'd be wise to not approach me
And learn your lesson, hit this class and you're over session
Found the test and had no idea with whom you're messin
Whatever it takes (and) we gots to separate
Whatever it takes all these true from the fakes
Transformin' the mindset, but how quickly do those forget
One hundred miles to run and ain't even broken a sweat
Until the death, we won't settle for nothin' less
No need to creep you knew we was comin' but still you slept
But it's time to rise up was just built up from deep inside
Actin like you was down now that leads to a collide
Best to recognize, starin' at me, because you shook
Whatever it takes, is what it took
This is our house
and this is where we live
and ain't nobody
gonna mess with us, in our house
This is our house
(This is our house)
[Chorus]
[Repeat x5]
Whatever it takes!
Whatever it takes whatever it takes
This is our house
This is our house!
This is our house!
This is our house!
This is our house
This is our house
Our house
Whatever it takes whatever it takes
The song "Whatever It Takes" by D.D.S. is about taking action to achieve one's goals and separating oneself from those who are not true or genuine. The chorus reinforces this message, emphasizing the need to separate from those who are not working towards the same goals and to do whatever it takes to achieve success. The verses elaborate on this theme by discussing the need to face aggression and competition, make decisions, and learn lessons.
The opening lines of the song, "Face to face with aggression, debolish and molish the opposition / Armored to be the stronger and conquer my competition," suggest that the singer is in a competitive environment and must be prepared to confront and overcome obstacles. The use of the word "ammunition" implies a war-like mindset, where one must have the right tools and mindset to succeed. The line "Found the test and had no idea with whom you're messin'" adds an element of surprise and suggests that the singer is underestimated by others.
The second verse focuses on the need to transform one's mindset and not forget one's goals. The line "One hundred miles to run and ain't even broken a sweat" suggests that the singer is determined and has endurance. The line "Until the death, we won't settle for nothin' less" emphasizes the importance of perseverance and not giving up. The final lines of the song, "This is our house / and this is where we live / and ain't nobody / gonna mess with us, in our house," reinforce the idea that the singer is in control and will protect what is theirs.
Overall, the song "Whatever It Takes" by D.D.S. is a rallying cry for those who are determined to succeed and are willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen. It emphasizes the need to separate from those who are not genuine or working towards the same goals, to take action in the face of adversity, and to persevere until success is achieved.

Lyrics:
Falling too fast to prepare for this
Tripping in the world could be dangerous
Everybody circling, it's vulturous
Negative, nepotist
Everybody waiting for the fall of man
Everybody praying for the end of times
Everybody hoping they could be the one
I was born to run, I was born for this
Whip, whip
Run me like a racehorse
Pull me like a ripcord
Break me down and build me up
I wanna be the slip, slip
Word upon your lip, lip
Letter that you rip, rip
Break me down and build me up
Whatever it takes
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes
'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
Whatever it takes
You take me to the top I'm ready for
Whatever it takes
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes
Always had a fear of being typical
Looking at my body feeling miserable
Always hanging on to the visual
I wanna be invisible
Looking at my years like a martyrdom
Everybody needs to be a part of 'em
Never be enough, I'm the prodigal son
I was born to run, I was born for this
Whip, whip
Run me like a racehorse
Pull me like a ripcord
Break me down and build me up
I wanna be the slip, slip
Word upon your lip, lip
Letter that you rip, rip
Break me down and build me up
Whatever it takes
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes
'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
Whatever it takes
You take me to the top, I'm ready for
Whatever it takes
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes
Hypocritical, egotistical
Don't wanna be the parenthetical, hypothetical
Working onto something that I'm proud of, out of the box
An epoxy to the world and the vision we've lost
I'm an apostrophe
I'm just a symbol to remind you that there's more to see
I'm just a product of the system, a catastrophe
And yet a masterpiece, and yet I'm half-diseased
And when I am deceased
At least I go down to the grave and die happily
Leave the body and my soul to be a part of thee
I do what it takes
Whatever it takes
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes
'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
Whatever it takes
You take me to the top, I'm ready for
Whatever it takes
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes
@SaffeeBear
guys, cmon, its all symbolism with tord directly getting hit by the harpoon its not rocket science lmao stop with the comments i know. i saw the episode
@melodybaker2655
I understood that. Did people not understand that?? How did people not understand that?
@firedragonpaw
please don't be annoyed! most of us understood it, and we love the symbolism. please continue making more eddsworld PVs, it made my entire year :) in your own time, that is!
@shalhannasution3540
@@melodybaker2655 why you repeat that?
@laughingpheonix9157
Tell me what the symbalism was please
@kwingle
Melody Baker, well some people get influenced and do stuff without actually doing research, just like those who didn’t understand.. they might’ve thought that they were influenced
@lindenbree9188
An Eddsworld PV that isn't pushing some ship AND doesn't get lost in its own angst fest to the point of being obnoxious?
Well god damn you did it! This is great. Appropriate song, good art, and believable rather than just blind angst for the sake of edge. I could see this being Tord's mindset, it would actually make sense in the show.
