Foster the People/Musicfire.in Lyrics

Rise above gonna start a war
We are going to fight for what we want and rise above any obstacles that come our way.

Whatcha want whatcha need whatcha come here for
What are your goals and motivations that brought you here, and what do you want to achieve?

Well an eye for an eye and an F for fight
If others want to fight and bring us down, we will fight back and defend ourselves.

Takin' me down is a prisoners right
People have the right to criticize and try to bring us down, but we won't let their words or actions defeat us.

Got shackles on my wings on tight
I feel trapped and restricted, unable to spread my wings and fly freely.

Beggin' makin' compromise
I am begging and forced to make compromises that go against my values and goals.

Fast enough it's hard to hide
Things are moving too quickly, and it's hard to hide my true feelings or intentions.

Sometimes I want to disappear
I wish I could escape this situation and disappear from everyone's sight.

When I feel good I play under warm distress
Even when I am feeling good, there is still an underlying stress that affects me.

Pass it up on a better day
I'm putting this task or challenge aside for a better day or time when I'm ready for it.

Well you got whatcha want you never knew
You have what you wanted, but you didn't realize the true price that you had to pay for it.

Perfect gift from me to you
My ability to give you what you wanted is the best gift that I can offer.

Got shackles on my wings on tight
I still feel trapped and limited in what I can do, unable to fully spread my wings and fly.

Beggin' makin' compromise
I am still forced to beg and make compromises that go against my goals and values.

Fast enough it's hard to hide
Things are moving too quickly, and it's hard to keep my true intentions and feelings hidden.

Sometimes I want to disappear
I still wish that I could escape and disappear from everyone's sight.

(Raise up to your ability)
We should focus on our strengths and abilities to overcome any obstacle that comes our way.

You never knew what I could find
You didn't realize the vast knowledge and potential that I have within me.

What could come when we realize
There is infinite potential and possibilities when we fully realize our strengths and abilities.

Don't no one want to compromise
No one wants to compromise their values or goals, but sometimes it's necessary in order to move forward.

Yeah I'm scared but I'll disappear
Even though I'm scared, I'm willing to disappear and overcome my fears to achieve my goals.

Runnin' around before I'll come with you
I'm not going to follow you blindly without thinking things through first.

Like he's from an
This line is incomplete and does not have a clear meaning on its own.

I know that you wanna
I know that you want me to follow you, but I need to think things through and make my own decisions.

'Cause it was easy to see
Because it was obvious and clear to me that I needed to take my own path.

Of my ability
I need to focus on my own strengths and abilities to overcome any challenges that come my way.

Yeah you're undecided
You're unsure where to go or what to do next, and you need more time to make a decision.

Yeah so I can see it
I understand where you're coming from and can see why you're undecided.

Yeah I'm gonna wipe your mind
I'm going to help you forget about your indecision and focus on your strengths and abilities instead.

Focus on your ability
We need to focus on our own strengths and abilities to overcome any obstacle that comes our way.

Gain again what they want to steal
We will regain what others want to take from us - our strength, power, and ability to overcome obstacles.

Gonna gain again what they want to steal
We will persevere and succeed despite others' attempts to take from us what we've worked hard for.
