Lion
Disciple Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

With their right hand they bring disease
While the other bears a flag of peace
Their words dipped in camouflage
Breathing sabotage

When the enemy strikes we will fight
We’ll stand up, be bold
When we’re under the gun we won’t run
We’ll stand up, be bold like a lion

Pretty wisdom spreading out her wings
Calming hurricanes when she speaks
And they swear they won’t hurt her
Breathing murder

When the enemy strikes we will fight
We’ll stand up, be bold
When we’re under the gun we won’t run
We’ll stand up, be bold like a lion

When the enemy strikes we will fight
We’ll stand up, be bold




When we’re under the gun we won’t run
We’ll stand up, be bold like a lion

Overall Meaning

Disciple's song "Lion" is a powerful anthem about standing up to those who seek to bring harm and chaos. The lyrics convey a sense of duality between those who bring disease and sabotage with one hand, but hold a flag of peace with the other, and those who embody "pretty wisdom" and speak words that calm the storm. The contrast between these two forces creates a tension that is reflective of the world we live in, where there are those who seek to cause harm while hiding behind a veneer of peace, and others who work to bring about healing and calm in the midst of chaos.


The metaphor of the lion is key to understanding the message of the song. Lions are known for their courage and strength, and they are often used as symbols of power and authority. In this song, the lion represents the ability to stand up and fight in the face of adversity. The lyrics are a call to action, urging listeners to stand up and be bold like a lion.


The song also touches on the theme of betrayal, with lyrics that speak of those who swear not to hurt the embodiment of "pretty wisdom," but are actually breathing murder. This hints at the idea that those who pretend to be friends may actually be enemies in disguise.


Overall, "Lion" is a powerful song that urges listeners to stand up for what is right and not back down in the face of adversity. It is a call to be courageous, to be strong, and to be bold like a lion.
