Letratradução
I get down with the victim
We both you need them
To stuck in the middle of all irrelevance
And your heart is a beating
And after the time
When you′ve made it, when you don't know what to do
Cause you′ve played it, all wrong
When you've made it, when you don't know what to do
Cause you′re playing it, all wrong
You can′t fight the friction (So, ease it off)
You can't take the pressure (So, ease it off)
I stomp right to be strong (So, ease it off)
You can′t fight the friction, so
Ease it off
And get into the system
You won't know you′ll need one
At the tip of the needle
It's taking over you
And your heart is beating
Cause you know that you gotta
Get out of the middle
And rise to the top now
When you′ve made it, when you don't know what to do
Cause you're playing it, all wrong
When you′ve made it, when you don′t know what to do
Cause you're playing it, all wrong
You can′t fight the friction (So, ease it off)
You can't take the pressure (So, ease it off)
I stomp right to be strong (So, ease it off)
You can′t fight the friction, so
Ease it off
Why can't you let it go
Like a bird in the snow
This is no place to build your home
You can′t fight the friction (So, ease it off)
You can't take the pressure (So, ease it off)
I stomp right to be strong (So, ease it off)
You can't fight the friction, so
Ease it off
The song "Enta Da Dragon" by DJ Red features sampled lyrics from Imagine Dragons' song "Friction" and focuses on the theme of feeling stuck and dealing with the pressure to succeed. The lyrics talk about being stuck in the middle of irrelevance and feeling the beating of your heart as a reminder that you need to escape from the pressure and rise to the top. The chorus encourages easing the pressure and friction, rather than fighting it. The line "Why can't you let it go? Like a bird in the snow. This is no place to build your home" is also repeated, encouraging listeners to let go of the pressure, self-doubt and uncertainty, and find a new and better place to build a home, both physically and emotionally.
The song has a strong and powerful beat, giving it an anthemic quality, along with the sampled lyrics from Imagine Dragons' "Friction", which adds to the song's emotional depth. Interestingly, the song uses a combination of English and Arabic lyrics, as well as the use of traditional Arabic instruments and samples, merging Western and Middle Eastern sounds.
