The Thrill Of It All
FM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go out and raise hell, get into a fight
I still remember those good old days, yes, I do
It was all for one and one for all
United we stand, divided we fall
We were brothers in arms till our dying day, oh, yeah
Every line tells a story from the good old days
If I had the chance, I'd do it all again
'Cos I remember
Living it up, having the time of my life
Out in the fast lane, flirting with suicide
Always in trouble, waiting for the hammer to fall
Just for the kicks and the thrill of it all
Sometimes things got out of hand
But we'd stick together, make a stand
We are renegades till our dying day, oh, yeah
I sit and watch the years go by
Only wishing I could turn back time
If I had the chance I'd do it all again
'Cos I remember
Living it up, having the time of my life
Out in the fast lane, flirting with suicide
Always in trouble, waiting for the hammer to fall
Just for the kicks and the thrill of it all
Guitar!
Yeah, living it up, having the time of my life
Out in the fast lane, flirting with suicide, yeah, yeah
Always in trouble, waiting for the hammer to fall
The hammer to fall
Just for the kicks and the thrill of it all
The lyrics of FM's song "The Thrill Of It All" depict the longing for the past and the nostalgia for the good old days spent with friends. It starts with an enthusiastic tone as the singer reminisces about getting dressed up on Saturday nights, going out, raising hell, and getting into a fight. He remembers those days fondly, where everything was for one and one for all, united they stood, and divided they fell. They were brothers in arms until their dying day, indicating a strong bond of camaraderie that would last a lifetime.
The second verse describes how life changes as time passes, and how we see the faces change with every line in the mirror. The longing for the past becomes more intense, and the singer confesses that if he had the chance, he'd do it all again, despite the troubles that came with it. The chorus repeats the idea of living life to the fullest, flirting with danger, and waiting for the hammer to fall. It's not about getting into trouble for the sake of it but for the thrill of it all.
The final verse reflects on how things might have gotten out of hand in the past, but the group always stuck together, even in tough times. They were renegades until their dying day, and the singer watches the years go by, wishing he could turn back time to live those moments again. The guitar solo at the end emphasizes the message of the song, which is that life is short and meant to be lived to the fullest.
