Jugg's Revenge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you hear that sound
The one that calls your name
One that sounds like it
And never goes away
Maybe its me
I'm here with my ears to the ground
When my life begins to tumble
Its just the sound
Of something that wasn't there at all
Down this road without a guide
Am I still here alive
In this place the obstacles can kill or die
Who told me about the voices
That I thought I heard inside
He said its just fear and doubt
The noise subsides the minute
That you find your way out
Domino
Tell me how was I ever to know
Stack up these things
The first one will fall
I found that there wasn't anything there at all
Domino
Knock it down, make it my own
Problems keep taking the time in my life
It makes you upset to think I just might
Lining up the answers all fall down in time
Domino
Just surrender and let it all go
If your life is bad, I won't take the blame
I won't get the rules of this meaningless game
The song "Domino" by Jugg's Revenge is a powerful reflection on the uncertainties of life and the struggle to find one's place in a chaotic world. The opening lyrics "Can you hear that sound, the one that calls your name?" symbolize the constant pull that life has on us and how we are constantly drawn towards it, even in the face of adversity. The line "Maybe it's me, I'm here with my ears to the ground" further emphasizes this feeling, as the singer is trying to make sense of their surroundings and find their place in the world.
As the song progresses, the lyrics take on a more desperate tone, as the singer is faced with obstacles that can "kill or die". The powerful imagery used here paints a picture of a harsh and unforgiving world, where survival is never guaranteed. The line "Who told me about the voices that I thought I heard inside?" reflects the inner turmoil and doubt that we all face at some point in our lives, and how we often need help from others to overcome our fears.
The chorus "Domino, Tell me how was I ever to know, Stack up these things, The first one will fall, I found that there wasn't anything there at all" brings the theme of uncertainty to the forefront, as the singer realizes that life is full of unexpected twists and turns, and that one misstep could bring their whole world crashing down. However, the singer also acknowledges that it is important to keep pushing forward and "make it my own".
