Gargantua Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Evolution of man is at stake.
Pack my bags, put em in the trunk,
Time for teamwork, time to slamdunk.
When I awoke, the world was asleep,
Addiction had taken my crew to six deep.
Now I'm gonna put it in your face!
Spirit warriors the light must come alive,
I'm lookin for ya...
So just DRIVE!
By mistake I put my foot up on the snake,
Felt the venom, there's only so much I can take.
Competition big like Jabba the Hut,
So what but nothing, this the final cut.
How can a man make a dollar, off of death?
Joe Camel is a homicidal mammal.
Darkness is afraid of the light,
We are the light y'all, so come together here tonight.
In the forces of evil, they cannot thrive...
Legion of doom goes down for the dive.
Just DRIVE!
Evils at work here, they must go,
Competition as big as Bam Bam Bigelow.
Samson didn't second guess his fight,
So I'm gonna gather up the warriors
And show wrong from right
Darth is a powerful flow, I got the force y'all and like Vader do not know that.
The Jedi that I be, that you be, we all be...is so fancy free, like Obi Wan Kanobi
Just want some place where we can thrive.
Here's the Kris Keyes...
So just DRIVE!
The lyrics of Gargantua Soul's song "Drive" convey a message of determination and purpose. The singer starts by saying that he hasn't even put his foot up on the brake yet because he feels the evolution of humankind is at stake. He packs his bags and is ready for teamwork to achieve his goals. He then describes waking up to a world where addiction had taken hold of six people, and he had to meditate to find his place. He is now ready to put it in people's faces and make the spirit warriors' light come alive.
The next verse talks about the singer accidentally putting his foot up on a snake and feeling the venom, which serves as a metaphor for the competition he faces. He refuses to let anything stand in his way, even if it's as big as Jabba the Hut. He questions how anyone can make money off of death and refers to Joe Camel as a homicidal mammal. The singer then brings light to the darkness, saying that they are the light that will make evil forces fail. The legion of doom will go down for the dive, but the warriors will keep on driving.
The final verse talks about the need to get rid of evil forces, even if they are as big as Bam Bam Bigelow. The reference to Samson not once second-guessing his fight highlights the need for determination in the face of adversity. The singer wants to gather up the warriors and distinguish between right and wrong. He then compares himself to the Jedi, who are free, like Obi Wan Kanobi. He just wants to find a place where they can all thrive and be themselves.
