Toe The Line
G.T.R. Lyrics

Sometimes you want to kick yourself
There are moments when you feel guilty and regretful about something you've done

For letting things get this far
You allowed a situation to progress to a certain point which is now difficult to handle

You get no thanks at all
You don't receive any appreciation or acknowledgment for what you've done

It's just a double-edged sword
The situation you're in has both advantages and disadvantages, and each decision you make can have negative consequences

We try to keep ourselves detached
We attempt to distance ourselves emotionally from the situation to stay objective

It's clear who holds the key
The person who has control or power over the situation or outcome is obvious

Drifting through the age of reason
Navigating through a time where people rely on logical thinking rather than emotion

Now your washed up on the shore
You've been left stranded or abandoned in a difficult situation or outcome

Toe the line
Follow the rules or comply with the expectations set by someone else

It'll only hurt
Disobeying or challenging the rules or expectations will result in negative consequences

What are you trying to hide
Why are you going against the expectations set for you

When you go swimming against the tide
When you defy the norm, it's a difficult and sometimes impossible task

It's only going to hurt
Not complying with the expectations will result in pain or negative consequences

What a waste of time
Trying to change the expectations or outcome is futile and serves no purpose

Trying to change their world
Attempting to alter someone else's way of thinking or expectations is a pointless endeavor

So toe the line
Follow the rules or expectations set by someone else, as it is the only viable option

It seems like everything you went for
Everything you worked towards or hoped to achieve has vanished

Disappeared like purple haze
It vanished into thin air without explanation or reason, like how smoke disappears into the air

Can we ever hope for justice
Is it possible to expect fairness, equality, or righteousness in this situation or society

While bitter men hold nothing close to them
People who are resentful, angry or unhappy do not have anything to cling to or cherish

It was fixed before you were here
The situation or outcome was predetermined, and you had no control over it

What a waste of time
Challenging or trying to change the predetermined outcome is a futile effort and serves no purpose

So toe the line
Comply with the set expectations, as challenging them is not worthwhile

It's an English custom
Following the rules, even if you don't agree with them, is part of the English society and culture
