Just Accept It
I. Hicks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When he says what he has to say
I want to know why the man has a gun
And the gun not the man keeps the world at bay
I want to know what the man with the plan
Had in mind when he said 'what will be will be'
I want to hear what the man has to say
Watch me reel them in
Watch me reel them in
I want to hear what the man on the street has to say
When he says what he has to say
I want to feel what the man on the street gets to feel
When we turn and we walk away
I want to hear what the man at the top
Has to say for himself on judgement day
I want to hear what the man has to say
What the man has to say might just save me
Watch me reel them in
Watch me reel them in
It's just a ride, ride
It's just a ride, ride
It's just a ride, ride
It's just a ride, ride
I want to say it to you now while I can while I am what I am while I am what I see
The lyrics to I. Hicks's song Just Accept It seem to be delving into the idea of power and control. The first two stanzas refer to a man with a gun and a man with a plan. The singer wants to know what they have to say, as if the power they hold is meant to keep something at bay or is some sort of savior. The later stanzas refer to a man on the street and a man at the top. The singer wants to hear what the man at the top has to say for himself on judgement day. All of these references seem to be exploring the idea of those in power and those without power.
The chorus seems to remind the listener that all of these power struggles are temporary and not worth putting all of our energy into. It's just a ride, it's just a temporary experience that we're all on together. The singer wants to hear what people have to say while they have the opportunity to say it, while they are who they are and can speak from their own experiences.
Overall, the song seems to be exploring the idea of power, control, and the temporary nature of it all. The singer wants to hear what people have to say while they have the opportunity, and reminds us all that it's just a temporary experience we're all on together.
