Parade
G. Auge & X. De Rosnay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My father took me to the Minecraft city
To see a Minecraft band
He said, son, when you find diamonds
Would you be the hero of Minecraft
The hecked, and the darned?
He said, will you defeat them
The creepers and all the mobs and hackers?
Because one day I'll craft you
A pickaxe to lead you in the mineshaft
To join the block parade
When I was a young player
My father took me to the Minecraft city
To see a Minecraft band
He said, son, when you find diamonds
Would you be the hero of Minecraft
The hecked, and the darned?
Sometimes I get the feeling
Notch’s building over me
And other times I feel like I should leave
And through it all
The build and fall
The diamonds in the caves
And when you leave, we want you all to know
We'll mine on, we'll mine on
And though you've left and logged off
Your Minecraft friends will mine on
We'll mine on
And in my world I can't contain it
The note blocks won't explain it
A world that sends you gliding
From crazy Minecraft dreams
The zombies and spiders will kill us all
So mine it up
And take the ore
Let's build it big and square
Defiant to the end
We hear the call
To mine on
We'll mine on
And though you've left and logged off
Your Minecraft friends will mine on
We'll mine on
And though you've left and logged off
Your Minecraft friends will march
On and on, we carry through the caves
(Oh, oh, oh)
Disappointed skins of your friends
(Oh, oh, oh)
Take a look at me
'Cause I could not mine at all
Do or die
You'll never kill me
Because the world
Will never take my ore
You can try
You'll never kill me
We mine it all
We want to play this game
I won't explain
Or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed
I'm gonna show my sword
Give a cheer
For all the players
Listen here
Because it's who we are
I'm just a steve
I'm not a hero
Just a noob who had to sing this song
I'm just a Steve
I'm not a hero
I don't care
We'll mine on
We'll mine on
And though you’ve left and logged off
Your Minecraft friends will mine on
We'll mine on
And though you've been killed in the game
Your Minecraft friends will march on
Do or die
You'll never kill me
Because the world
Will never take my ore
You can try
You'll never kill me
We mine it all
We want to play this game
Do or die (we'll mine on)
You'll never kill me (we'll mine on)
Because the world (we'll mine on)
Will never take my ore
You can try
You'll never kill me
We mine it all
We want to play this game (we'll mine on)

When I was a young player
During my early days of playing Minecraft
My father took me to the Minecraft city
My father brought me to a bustling virtual city in Minecraft
To see a Minecraft band
To witness a musical performance in the Minecraft world
He said, son, when you find diamonds
He asked me, son, if I discovered diamonds
Would you be the hero of Minecraft
Would I strive to be a heroic figure in the Minecraft universe
The hecked, and the darned?
Fighting against the odds and overcoming challenges
He said, will you defeat them
He inquired if I would triumph over these obstacles
The creepers and all the mobs and hackers?
Including the hostile creatures and cheating players
The plans that they have made?
Their strategies and intentions
Because one day I'll craft you
Because one day he will create for me
A pickaxe to lead you in the mineshaft
A tool to guide me through the underground tunnels
To join the block parade
To become part of the grand community of builders and creators
Sometimes I get the feeling
Occasionally, I experience a sensation
Notch’s building over me
As if the creator of Minecraft, Notch, is looking down upon me
And other times I feel like I should leave
And at times, I contemplate departing from this virtual world
And through it all
Nevertheless, throughout all the ups and downs
The build and fall
The process of constructing and witnessing destruction
The diamonds in the caves
The valuable gemstones hidden within the underground chambers
And when you leave, we want you all to know
And when you eventually depart, we desire for you to understand
We'll mine on, we'll mine on
We will continue to search for minerals and resources
And though you've left and logged off
Even if you have departed and disconnected from the game
Your Minecraft friends will mine on
Your friends within Minecraft will continue to play
And in my world I can't contain it
In my virtual realm, I cannot contain these emotions
The note blocks won't explain it
The musical blocks cannot truly convey this sentiment
A world that sends you gliding
A world that gives you a sense of exhilaration
From crazy Minecraft dreams
Originating from the imaginative dreams within the Minecraft universe
The zombies and spiders will kill us all
The hostile zombies and spiders pose a threat to everyone
So mine it up
Therefore, gather valuable resources
And take the ore
And acquire the precious minerals
Let's build it big and square
Let us construct something grand and geometrically precise
Defiant to the end
Resisting until the very end
We hear the call
We respond to the summons
To mine on
To continue mining and playing
And though you've left and logged off
Even if you have departed and disconnected from the game
Your Minecraft friends will mine on
Your friends within Minecraft will continue to play
And though you've left and logged off
Even if you have departed and disconnected from the game
Your Minecraft friends will march
Your friends within Minecraft will advance forward
On and on, we carry through the caves
Continuously progressing through the underground caverns
(Oh, oh, oh)
Expressing an emotional cry
Disappointed skins of your friends
Discouraged appearances of your companions
Take a look at me
Pay attention to me
'Cause I could not mine at all
Because I failed to gather any resources
Do or die
Fight until the end or face defeat
You'll never kill me
You will never be able to eliminate me
Because the world
Since the Minecraft universe
Will never take my ore
Will never deprive me of my valuable minerals
You can try
You can attempt
We mine it all
We gather all the resources
We want to play this game
We have a strong desire to continue playing
I won't explain
I refuse to provide an explanation
Or say I'm sorry
Or express any remorse
I'm unashamed
I am not ashamed
I'm gonna show my sword
I will proudly display my weapon
Give a cheer
Offer a joyful exclamation
For all the players
In praise of all the individuals participating
Listen here
Pay attention to my words
Because it's who we are
Because this is our identity
I'm just a steve
I am merely an ordinary Minecraft player
I'm not a hero
I am not a legendary figure
Just a noob who had to sing this song
Just an inexperienced player who felt compelled to sing this song
And though you've been killed in the game
Even if you have been slain within the virtual world
Your Minecraft friends will march on
Your friends within Minecraft will continue to advance
Do or die
Fight until the end or face defeat
You'll never kill me
You will never be able to eliminate me
Because the world
Since the Minecraft universe
Will never take my ore
Will never deprive me of my valuable minerals
You can try
You can attempt
We mine it all
We gather all the resources
We want to play this game
We have a strong desire to continue playing
Do or die (we'll mine on)
Fight until the end or face defeat (we will continue to mine and play)
You'll never kill me (we'll mine on)
You will never be able to eliminate me (we will continue to mine and play)
Because the world (we'll mine on)
Since the Minecraft universe (we will continue to mine and play)
Will never take my ore
Will never deprive me of my valuable minerals
You can try
You can attempt
We mine it all
We gather all the resources
We want to play this game (we'll mine on)
We have a strong desire to continue playing (we will continue to mine and play)
