The Fight
G.L.O Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wave your flag
For your fucked up race
If you don't take flight
You'll take a brick to the face
Fight for your life
We've got to stand up and mask up
And drive out their kind!
Fascist scum
Expected a parade
Your welcoming committee
Was an Antifa brigade
Fight for your life
Fight for your life
Fight for your life
Fight for it fight, fight, fight
Don't give them a chance!
Sleep with a hammer
Fill a clip with nine rounds
Plus one in the chamber
When the front door comes down
Fight for your life
Fight for your life
Fight for your life
We came to fight
The first verse of the song "The Fight" by G.L.O. is a call to action against those who promote or practice racism. The lyrics indicate that they represent a movement that is fed up with the problem and is willing to stand up to it. They are encouraging listeners to wave their flag for their race but do it in a way that does not draw violent opposition from others. The second line creates a sense of urgency and the risk of harm towards anyone who does not step up and fight against racism. The call to action of standing up is supported by the lyrics "Fight for your life", which repeats as a mantra throughout the song. The song urges people to wear masks and to drive out the kind of racists who threaten our world.
The second verse is a direct attack on fascist movements. The lyrics mock these groups that promote hate and racism, indicating that they expect their ideas to be celebrated rather than opposed. However, the anti-fascist group represented in the song is willing to confront them and fight against those ideologies. The chorus repeats again, with the lyrics encouraging people to fight for their life and not give the other side an inch.
The third verse of the song is particularly interesting, as it gives instructions on how to defend oneself against violent threats. The lyrics encourage listeners to sleep with a hammer and prepare a clip of nine rounds, including one in the chamber. The image presented is that of a revolution, or a resistance to a larger oppressive force, and this sense of urgency is supported by the chorus that repeats to fight for life.
Overall, "The Fight" by G.L.O. is a powerful song that advocates for standing up against the evils of fascism, racism, and hate. It is a call to action for listeners, encouraging them to defend themselves and fight against injustice. The song's message is conveyed powerfully, with urgency and a sense of impending danger.
