Eye Of The Tiger
Eminem Vs. Survivor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds still we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
Risin' up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The song "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor was released in 1982 as the theme song for the movie "Rocky III." The song's lyrics describe the journey of a fighter who has overcome challenges and is ready to face his opponent with the confidence and fierceness of a tiger. In the first verse, the singer portrays the singer as a man who has been through tough times, but he has overcome them and is ready to fight. The second verse warns against losing sight of one's dreams in pursuit of fame and glory and encourages fighting to keep them alive. The chorus declares the singer's strength and determination in rising up to the challenge and facing his opponent, with the last survivor being the one who can stalk and hunt his prey.
In the bridge, the song describes the intense physical challenges the fighter faces with the words "face to face, out in the heat/ hangin' tough, stayin' hungry," reinforcing the toughness required to survive. The song then transitions back to the chorus, emphasizing the central theme of the singer's strength and willpower.
