Solid Ground
Gugun Power Trio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
deadly ocean
dark and cold
nobody but me right here
All on my own
Little hope left
Want to know
Where the hell am I
Can you hear me
Am I breathing
Can't feel my heartbeat
Battered and bruised
Wounds are bleeding
Someone help me
Where have my friends gone
Safe and sound on the solid ground
Got my feet on dry land
And no one can hold me back
The battle goes on
Draw your weapons
Aim your rifles
Heavy artillery
Going out of my mind
God is watching
God is listening
God is my witness
Safe and sound on the solid ground
Got my feet on dry land
And you can't hold me back
Safe and sound on the solid ground
And I can't believe this good feeling
Coming over me
Straight ahead is where I'm heading
Life is so damn good
No one can stop me
The lyrics of Gugun Power Trio's "Solid Ground" describe the feeling of being lost and alone, and the struggle to find a way out of that darkness. The singer is lost at sea, battered and bruised, with little hope left. They plead for help, wondering where their friends have gone. The sense of isolation is palpable, with the dark and cold ocean providing an ominous backdrop. The imagery of the battle also adds to the feeling of desperation, with the singer drawing their weapons and facing heavy artillery.
However, towards the end of the song, there is a shift in tone as the singer finds solace on "solid ground." Life suddenly becomes good, and the singer feels unstoppable. The song ends with the triumphant declaration that "no one can stop me." This shift in tone is reflected musically as well, with the song starting out slow and mournful before building up to an energetic, upbeat outro.
Overall, "Solid Ground" is a powerful song about resilience and hope in the face of adversity. It speaks to the universal human experience of feeling lost and alone, and the ability to find strength and meaning even in the darkest of times.
