Houdini
Foster The People (RAC REMIX) Lyrics

Rise above gonna start the war
We are going to take a stand and fight for what we believe in.

Whatcha want whatcha need whatcha come here for
What is the purpose of your presence? What do you expect to gain?

Well an eye for an eye and an F for fight
If someone is going to fight us, we will fight back twice as hard.

Takin' me down as the prisoners riot
They are trying to bring us down, but we won't let them. We will fight back and make it difficult for them to control us.

Got shackles on my wings on tight
We feel restrained and limited, unable to fully achieve our potential.

Beggin' makin' compromise
We are trying to negotiate and find common ground, but it's not easy.

Fast enough it's hard to hide
Things are moving quickly and it's becoming increasingly challenging to conceal what we truly feel and believe.

Sometimes I want to disappear
At times, we feel overwhelmed and just want to disappear and escape the stresses of the world.

When I feel good I'm playin' under warm distress
Even when we are happy and content, we still feel the weight of the world on our shoulders.

Pass it up on a better day
We might turn down opportunities in the present to wait for an even better opportunity in the future.

Well you got whatcha want you never knew
Sometimes, you think you know what you want, but it turns out you were wrong all along.

Perfect gift from me to you
We are giving you the gift of our talent and our passion.

Got shackles on my wings on tight
We feel hindered and unable to fully reach our potential.

Beggin' makin' compromise
We are trying to find common ground and negotiate, but it's not easy.

Fast enough it's hard to hide
Things are moving quickly and it's becoming increasingly difficult to keep things hidden.

Sometimes I want to disappear
At times, we feel overwhelmed and just want to escape.

(Raise up to your ability)
Encouragement to rise to our full potential and take control of our future.

You never knew what I could find
You have underestimated me, and you don't know the extent of my capabilities.

What could come when we realize
We don't know what we're capable of until we try.

Don't no one want to compromise
Nobody wants to give in or back down, since we all believe strongly in our beliefs and values.

Yeah I'm scared but I'll disappear
We might be afraid, but we'll overcome our fears and take action.

Runnin' around before I'll come with you
We won't just blindly follow anyone, since we have our own goals and desires.

Like he's someone who lost his way
We might seem lost or uncertain, but we're just figuring out our path in life.

I know that you wanna
We understand that you have your own desires and motivations.

'Cause it was easy to see
It's clear that our talents and abilities are desired, since we are able to achieve great things with them.

Of my ability
We have confidence in our own abilities and know that we are capable of great things.

Yeah you're undecided
You are unsure or indecisive at the moment.

Yeah so I can see it
We can sense your uncertainty and hesitation.

Yeah I'm gonna wipe your mind
We are going to show you what we're capable of and make you forget any doubts you may have had.

Focus on your ability
We need to concentrate on what we're good at and what we're passionate about.

Now focus on your ability
Focusing on our abilities is the key to success.

Gain again what they want to steal
People might try to steal our success or take credit for our achievements, but we will regain what is rightfully ours.

Gonna gain again what they want to steal
We are determined to fight back and achieve what we seek, despite any obstacles in our way.
