We Are The Supports
Instalok Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For making the plays
And if you miss a last hit
You start to blame it on me
The moment my ward expires
You say no vision GG
Every time you get caught its
"Please report after the game"
'Cause we are the supports
We are the supports yea
Doing everything that I can to
Help out my team
The support support support
Just try to touch my carry
(You're getting peeled off)
Don't need the kills or glory
(i'll make you feel strong)
S-U-P-P-O-R-T
They always seem to doubt us
When we lose our lane
Our damage falls off late but
Utility will win the game
I'm warding constantly and
My team isn't helping me
If you get into trouble
I'll be coming for the save
The lyrics of Instalok's "We Are The Supports" talk about the life of a support player in an online multiplayer game. The singer expressed his frustration that support players seldom receive recognition for their actions in the game, despite making winning plays. He also mentions how supports often get blamed if other players miss a last hit or get caught. This highlights the common belief in the gaming community that supports are solely responsible for their teams' survival and the blame that comes when teammates die.
The chorus of the song is an uplifting acknowledgment of the role of the support player. The singer affirms that they are the supports, and they do everything they can to help their team to win. He expresses his commitment to peel off any enemy attempting to touch his carry while assuring them that he doesn't need glory, kills or accolades. The process is all about helping his team to grow better and stronger.
Lastly, the song highlights the continuous sacrifices that support players make. They ward constantly, even when the team doesn't support them, and they come to their team's rescue every time they get into trouble. These are just some of the ways in which supports make sense of their roles in the team.
