Under the Gun
Eclipse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You either get it or you don't
Tried and tried am I coming through
I can say there's more to this than make believe
Life is breathing down your neck
A minute gone is a minute lost
Crash and burn if you sleep behind the wheel

Under the gun, this is just a one shot deal
Can't run, can't hide
Can I be more clear, under the gun
We're all under the gun

The more you give, the more you get
Give it all, you'll reap it all
Imagine it and you can walk on water now
The devil feeds on all your fears
Let'em in and the feast is you
Close that door, you're running outta time

Under the gun, this is just a one shot deal
Can't run, can't hide
Can I be more clear, under the gun

Under the gun, this is just a one shot deal
Can't run, can't hide
Can I be more clear, under the gun
This is just a one shot deal
Can't run, can't hide




Can I be more clear, under the gun
We're all under the gun

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eclipse's song "Under the Gun" have a clear message that can be related to the fast-paced world we live in today. The song talks about life being like a race, where every minute counts and there is no time to lose. The lyrics express the feeling of being under constant pressure, being chased by time, and how one mistake can lead to losing everything. The verses talk about how life can be tough, and it's easy to lose control if you take your eyes off the road. The chorus emphasizes the message that we are all under the gun, and there is no way to escape the pressure of life.


Eclipse's lyrics, "The more you give, the more you get," remind us that there is no gain without pain. Life is not easy, and sometimes we have to go through tough situations to achieve our goals. The line "Imagine it and you can walk on water now" encourages us to have faith and believe in ourselves. But at the same time, the lyrics warn us about the devil who feeds on our fears and can easily make us fall if we let him in. The final line "Close that door, you're running outta time" is a wake-up call to be focused and not let distractions take us away from our goals.
