What The Hell Is A Gigawatt
Four Year Strong Lyrics

Today's the day that we start this war
The singer is saying that they are ready to confront a problem or stand up for something they believe in.

Make up your mind and decide what you are fighting for
You need to figure out what it is that you want to accomplish before taking action.

You still have so much left to learn about
There is always something new to learn and discovering something new can help you make a better decision.

The decisions you make, be it so hard to break
Decisions can have long-lasting consequences and they can be very difficult to change once made.

If you can't make room for raising the stakes
If you don't have the capacity to take bigger risks or play at a higher level, you might not succeed.

You'll find yourself exposed to the fallout
If you don't plan ahead or take precautions, you will face the consequences of your actions.

And in a drawn-out series of undeniable mistakes
Making one mistake can lead to a series of mistakes and the consequences can become more severe over time.

The perfect punch to a perfect line
Using the right words at the right time can create a powerful impact.

I'm not gonna make it,
The singer is not going to attend an event.

Tonight's not good for me, it's true
The singer cannot make it to the event because of other reasons.

But not for the reasons you might think,
The reasons for not attending are not what others might assume.

'Cause I've got better things to do
The singer has more important things to focus on than attending the event.

Well have you ever loved so much that you'd kill for it?
The singer is asking if you have ever been so passionate about something that you would do anything to protect it or fight for it.

(I'd kill for this)
The singer affirms that they feel strongly enough about this cause to go to extreme lengths to defend it.

From the bottom of the barrel to the tip of my tongue
The singer is expressing a feeling that their passion for this cause is deep in their soul and at the forefront of their mind.

(Feeling old but we're still so young)
The singer acknowledges that they are getting older, but they still have a long way to go to achieve their dreams.

Because we are the ones that you're searching for
The singer believes that they are the solution or answer to a problem or need.

(We're causing all the trouble, only looking for more)
The singer recognizes that they are causing some problems but they are willing to take risks and strive for more than what's currently available to them.

Does someone carry on with a heart of gold?
The singer is asking if there is anyone who still believes in working towards a goal with a pure moral compass.

Feeling young but we're getting older every time I turn around
Although they feel youthful and have energy, the singer recognizes that time is constantly moving forward and they are getting older.

(The perfect place at the perfect time)
The singer feels they are in the ideal situation, where everything lines up just right for them to succeed.

(This is an outrage)
The singer is expressing anger and frustration about something that they believe is wrong or unjust.

Take a look, we swear it's running out
The singer is urging the listener to acknowledge that time is limited and they need to take action before it's too late.

Why can't you see
The singer is frustrated that the listener is not seeing the same urgency they are.

So listen up, if you still feel like I still feel
The singer is encouraging the listener to pay attention, especially if they share the same passion.

Then rise up, it's so far gone
The singer is motivating the listener to take action and rise up, even though it might seem like it's too late.
