Hooligan
Embrace(임브레이스) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just call them all aboard
'cause when your bark is gone
You're gonna take 'em all head on
Your faith is running low
It's too bad you'll never know
But don't be a fool again
Don't try and save them all
Just try and break their fall
You want to live among
So don't try and right their wrongs
Bad news is twice around the world
When good is found
So don't be a fool again
They're just a bunch of hooligans
Don't try and lead the race
Like it's a life you saved
'cause you're all in my face
Like you're from outer space
And though you make 'em laugh
It won't beat the smile you have
So don't be a fool again
They're just a bunch of hooligans
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
So don't be a fool again
Don't be a hooligan
You've tried your best to win
Now get on board your wings
Don't think of paying back
Just keep your soul intact
Don't be a fool again
They're just a bunch of hooligans
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Don't be a fool again, They're just a bunch of hooligans
Don't be a fool again, They're just a bunch of hooligans
The song "Hooligan" by Embrace appears to be a cautionary tale about not giving in to aggressive or violent behavior. The first verse advises against confrontation, suggesting that it is better to call people aboard rather than try to beat them up. The second verse seems to be addressing someone who may have been hurt or let down before, telling them not to be a fool again and to recognize that those around them are just hooligans. The lyrics advise against trying to save everyone, but rather just trying to break their fall and not getting too caught up in their wrongdoings.
Overall, the song seems to carry a theme of staying true to oneself and not letting others bring us down. It also suggests that we should not be too quick to judge or condemn others, but instead should try to understand where they are coming from and, ultimately, just focus on being the best version of ourselves.

Repeating the chorus
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Repeating the chorus
Don't be a fool again, They're just a bunch of hooligans
Don't make the same mistake twice, they're just troublemakers

@NaTaS-
♫Early in the morning, risin' to the street
Light me up that cigarette and I'll strap shoes on my feet
Got to find the reason, reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason why my money's all gone
I got a Dalmatian and I can still get high
I can play the guitar like a motherfuckin' riot♫
