Renegade
HIRIE feat. Nahko Lyrics

Give up the old like you're a renegade
Abandon old ways and beliefs with the same rebellious spirit as a renegade.

Mundane existence don't call your name
Reject the dull and uninspiring parts of life that don't fulfill you.

Fill up your conscience by the firelight
Illuminate your moral consciousness by the warmth of a fire.

The drum and bass will fan your flame a whole new way tonight
Let the rhythms of the music stimulate and ignite your passion in new and exciting ways.

You wanna stay but your eyes scream no
You feel conflicted about leaving your old life behind but your intuition tells you it's the right thing to do.

The kind of hunger that burns deep and slow
A desire for something more meaningful and satisfying that simmers slowly and intensely within you.

You try to fight it, but it's all the same
You resist change and struggle against your inner voice, but ultimately realize that the status quo is unfulfilling.

These are poisoned times – Join the renegade
The current state of society is toxic and corrupt, so align yourself with the rebellious spirit of a renegade to break free.

The rhythm will come and it will go
The beats and melodies of music will ebb and flow like the tides of life.

So beat the drums for you
Let the percussive sounds of the music uplift and motivate you to follow your own path.

Bless the music for I cannot stop it
Express gratitude for the power of music to move and inspire beyond the limits of personal control.

You love roots too
Embrace and honor your roots, cultural or personal, as a source of strength and identity.

Land in this pocket and dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to the music
Find your place in the groove of the music and lose yourself in the dance.

Romance-mance-mance-mance-mance til you lose it
Surrender to the romantic and passionate feelings the music evokes until you forget all else.

I'm a calling on the warrior dancer in me
Invoke the fierce and graceful spirit of a warrior within yourself as a dancer.

All the discipline and grace it takes to be
Recognize and admire the hard work and dedication it takes to become a skilled dancer and embody it yourself.

I'm on the road passing through, searching for a higher love, yeah
Traveling down your own path, seeking a more profound and meaningful love than what is on the surface.

Fill me with the romance I miss so much, nah
Crave and ask for the romantic and passionate feelings that have been absent from your life.

I will not settle for anything less
Refuse to accept anything that falls short of your deepest desires and aspirations.

Than the ha in my breath
Strive for something that fills you with a soul-deep, guttural feeling of joy and fulfillment.

Pull my ankle from the depth
Free yourself from the constraints and limitations that hold you back.

Find a cure for my mind on these trails I gon' blaze
Heal and revitalize your mind by charting your own path and blazing new trails.

These are poisoned times – Join the renegade
Reiterate the message from earlier in the song: embrace your inner renegade and defy the corrupt status quo of society.
