Eye Of The Tiger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Risin' up, back on the street
took 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 happened too fast
you trade your passion for glory
don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
you must fight just to keep them alive
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 his fortune must always be
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 his fortune must always be
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 his fortune must always be

Overall Meaning

is a metaphor used in the song "Eye Of The Tiger" by Survivor. The song is about a fighter who was knocked down but gets back up on his feet to fight once again. The "eye of the tiger" refers to the fighter's fierce and unwavering determination to overcome his opponent. The lyrics describe how the fighter took his time, took his chances, went the distance, and is now back on his feet, ready to face his opponent once again.


The song also warns against getting too caught up in the pursuit of glory, cautioning the listener to not lose their grip on their passion and to keep their dreams from the past alive. The lyrics suggest that fighting isn't just about winning, but it's also about staying hungry, hanging tough, and having the skill to survive. The song ends by saying that the fighter has reached the top and, with his will to survive, he will never stop or lose sight of his goal.

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful
and kindle in them the fire of your love.

Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created,
and you shall renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray.

O God, who have taught the hearts of the faithful
by the light of the Holy Spirit,
grant that in the same Spirit we may be truly wise
and ever rejoice in his consolation.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

-Don't stop believin', or Anyway you want it? -Livin' on a prayer?
-Sweet child of mine, Welcome to the jungle, or Paradise city?
-Another one bites the dust, Underpressure, or I want to break free?
-Every breath you take?
-With or without you?
-Summer of '69?
-When doves cry?
-Hungry like the wolf?
-Superfreak?
-Need you tonight?
-I wanna know what love is?
...

There's too many to pick just one! Plus the songs that just barely don't make the 80s, like Another brick in the wall, Heart of glass, or Thunderstruck.

Risin' up, back on the street
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
You must fight just to keep them alive
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 watching us all with the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out on 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 watching us all with the eye of the tiger

Lyrics
Rising up, back on the street
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 change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hanging tough, staying hungry
They stack the odds 'til 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
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger
Rising up straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not going to stop
Just a man and his will to survive
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
