Whatever It Takes
Dreamwalk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You better shut your trap, nobody cares.
And you can't face me with your fake attitude,
I do things as I should.
(Whatever it takes)
No matter how high the stakes
(Whatever it takes)
(Whatever it takes)
No matter how high the stakes,
Whatever, whatever...
We'll do whatever it takes,
Fight the constant hatred,
Elevate our minds to the state
Where war is not debated,
But our freedom is confiscated
And we're sick of the waiting,
Sick of the waiting.
And in the spotlight, I sought for something new,
I sought for something true to find in you,
Such a pity, I stumbled on your pride
And all you have to hide.
(Whatever it takes)
No matter how high the stakes
(Whatever it takes)
No matter how high the stakes
(Whatever it takes)
No matter how high the stakes,
Whatever, whatever...
Have you ever tried to do something on your own, on your own?
If you'd ever try to do something on your own, on your own...
Yes, I'll go forward, and make it anyway,
In spite of what you think and what you say.
And now I'm laughing, as I turn away
And do it my own way.
(Whatever it takes)
No matter how high the stakes
(Whatever it takes)
No matter how high the stakes
(Whatever it takes)
No matter how high the stakes,
Whatever, whatever...
The lyrics to Dreamwalk's song "Whatever It Takes" are a declaration of independence and self-reliance. The singer is done listening to the cynical and negative remarks of others and is determined to do things their own way, no matter the risk or difficulty. The repetition of the phrase "Whatever it takes" emphasizes this determination to succeed, even if it means overcoming obstacles and fighting against the constant negativity of the world.
The second verse touches on the theme of freedom and the frustration of waiting for it. The singer is tired of war and hatred and wants a world where these things are not even up for debate. The line "Our freedom is confiscated" suggests that the singer feels oppressed or restricted, but is still determined to fight for a better future.
In the final verse, the singer affirms their ability to make it on their own, regardless of what others may think or say. By "do[ing] it my own way," the singer is taking control of their own life and destiny, regardless of the risks involved.
Overall, "Whatever It Takes" is a song about resilience, rebellion, and the perseverance required to succeed in a world that can often feel hostile and unforgiving.
Line by Line Meaning
No, I won't listen to your off-hand remarks,
I refuse to pay attention to your casual and insensitive comments
You better shut your trap, nobody cares.
Your opinion is not relevant since no one is interested in what you have to say
And you can't face me with your fake attitude,
Your insincere behavior is not enough to confront me
I do things as I should.
I follow the right path, regardless of external pressures
(Whatever it takes)
No matter the cost
No matter how high the stakes
Even if the risks are too high
Whatever, whatever...
I am determined to achieve my goals
We'll do whatever it takes,
We will stop at nothing
Fight the constant hatred,
We will resist the never-ending hostility
Elevate our minds to the state
We will raise our consciousness to a certain level
Where war is not debated,
A place where we do not discuss conflict
But our freedom is confiscated
Our liberty is taken away from us
And we're sick of the waiting,
We are tired of waiting and want to act now
And in the spotlight, I sought for something new,
I looked for something fresh in the limelight
I sought for something true to find in you,
I searched for honesty in your words and actions
Such a pity, I stumbled on your pride
Unfortunately, I discovered your prideful nature
And all you have to hide.
The secrets you keep concealed
Have you ever tried to do something on your own, on your own?
Have you ever attempted to do something on your own, without anyone's help?
If you'd ever try to do something on your own, on your own...
If you ever dared to pursue something independently, on your own...
Yes, I'll go forward, and make it anyway,
Despite any obstacles, I will proceed and succeed
In spite of what you think and what you say.
Regardless of your thoughts and words
And now I'm laughing, as I turn away
And now, I am amused as I walk away
And do it my own way.
And do it according to my plan.
