Baptism
E-Town Concrete Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thou has set all the borders of this earth,
But I've never been one to believe
In the preconceived limit that's set for me.
I spit in the face of the haters
As I march closer to victory.
And my time is here.
That's gods honest
Combine this with the knowledge that I've aquired.
Learning from my mistakes I'm baptized by fire.
I've had the ground fall from beneath my toes,
Scraped my knees from the concrete.
Then still I rose.
And my time is here.
And my time is now.
The lyrics of E-Town Concrete's song "Baptism" speak about the power of perseverance and the ability to overcome obstacles. The opening lines set the tone for the song, with the singer asserting that both the day and the night belong to them. They continue to challenge the preconceived limits that have been set for them, refusing to be bound by them. The use of the word "spit" in the line "I spit in the face of the haters" further emphasizes their defiance and determination to succeed in the face of opposition. The singer goes on to say that their time has come, their knowledge has been acquired, and they have been through trial by fire and emerged stronger. The repeated line "And my time is here. And my time is now" drives home their conviction that they are ready to achieve greatness.
The theme of triumph over adversity is a common one in E-Town Concrete's music. The lyrics of "Baptism" reflect their no-nonsense, aggressive style, with a straight-ahead beat and heavy guitar riffs. It's a call to arms for anyone who has ever had to fight for what they believe in or struggled to overcome a difficult situation. The concept of baptism, or being reborn through purification, is a powerful metaphor that reinforces the idea of starting anew and rising from the ashes. The song encourages the listener to take control of their own destiny and push through any obstacles in their path.
