Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
tonight.
So leave what you have,
Get up and leave what you have, its as easy as that,
see I told you so,
Nothing is empty if I can't ever be beaten.
I've got the edge.
No, I've got the edge,
and its, true-ohh-wo-o-ahhh,
Cause I've got the edge, Ive got the edge,
No, I've got the edge, I've got the edge,
and its trueeee-ohhhh-oh
So listen, up, and clear
Cause I've got the message,
No ones gonna do this, for me, oh do you hear?
Cause I've got the edge, I've got the edge,
No, I've got the edge, I've got the edge,
and its true-ohhh, its true oh.

So believe what you have, oh to believe what you have,
its as easy as that.
Now I told you ohh,
You can't resent me, cause I can't ever be beaten.
Cause I've got the edge,
No, I've got the edge, I've got the edge,

So hold off for time,
And strive,

Cause I've got the edge, I've got the edge
No, I've got the edge, I've got the edge,

No ones gonna do this, for me,
Oh, for you will,
cause I've got the edge, I've got the edge,
No I've got the edge, I've got the edge,
And its true-woohhh, its true-ohhh.
The song "Listen" by Fort Hope is an upbeat and motivational song about taking control of one's life and pursuing one's dreams. The opening lyrics, "that will lead you home tonight," suggests that the singer is trying to inspire someone to take a chance and follow their passion, no matter how difficult it may seem. The next few lines, "So leave what you have, Get up and leave what you have, it's as easy as that, see, I told you so," reinforces the idea that the singer is encouraging someone to take a risk, perhaps because they are unhappy with their current circumstances.
The chorus, "Cause I've got the edge, I've got the edge, No, I've got the edge, and it's true-ohh-wo-o-ahhh," seems to be a declaration of the singer's confidence in themselves and their abilities. The use of the word "edge" suggests that the singer believes they are on the cusp of success, and that they have the talent and drive to accomplish their goals. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that the singer is trying to convince someone to take the same leap of faith that they have taken, and to believe in themselves.
The final lyrics, "I'm stranded at sea, I'm stranded, So hold off for time, And strive, to get here," offer a note of caution to the listener. The singer acknowledges that pursuing one's dreams can be difficult and even lonely at times. However, they encourage the listener to continue to work hard and to strive for success, even when things get tough.
Overall, "Listen" is a song about pushing past one's fears and doubts, and taking control of one's life. It is a message of encouragement and hope, and a reminder that with hard work and determination, anything is possible.
