Bring It On
Laruso Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I break, I see a different side of me
Take back 'cos you know that I've changed
See you, another possibility
Why wait when you know what I'll say

Why'd you look like I do?
What 'you want from me?
Why'd you think like I do?

I knew the change inside me

I can't stand this
So Bring it on, Bring it on!
I can't stand this

Decide, what you really know of me
I'd set it off but I'm taking my time
Something, another possibility
Lets go but I keep on thinking how I.

I can't stand this
So Bring it on, Bring it on!
I can't stand this
So Bring it on, Bring it on!
Bring it on, Bring it on!
Bring it on, Bring it on!

Yeah!
I can't stand this
Why'd you look like I do?
What 'you want from me?
Why'd you think like I do?
What 'you want from me
Now Bring it on, Bring it on
Now Bring it on, Bring it on
Now Bring it on, Bring it on

KAME-HAME-HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Laruso's song "Bring It On" seem to convey the theme of embracing change and facing whatever life throws at you head-on. The opening lines, "I break, I see a different side of me, take back 'cause you know that I've changed" suggest that the singer has gone through a transformative experience, and is now feeling differently about themselves and their situation. They then ask why someone looks and thinks like they do, possibly questioning their own motives and thoughts.

The chorus, "I can't stand this, so Bring it on, Bring it on!" could be interpreted as a declaration of readiness to face whatever challenges lie ahead, even if they are daunting or uncomfortable. The verses, "Decide, what you really know of me, I'd set it off, but I'm taking my time" suggest that the singer is in a transitional period of their life, taking their time to figure out who they are and what they want. However, they are ready to take on whatever is next, and are excited about the idea of new opportunities and possibilities.

Overall, the song seems to encourage listeners to embrace change and take risks, even if they are unsure of what the future holds. It is a call to action to face whatever challenges come your way with confidence and determination, and to not let fear hold you back from pursuing your goals.

Thanks guys, this was my band. If you like it check out our second album “classic case of cause and effect” , we had a different vocalist, and went in some interesting directions. There’s a video for “End of Level Boss” on YouTube.

Good to see you here! I prefered "Bring It On" over the other one but it actually sounded interesting (the title track's my favorite). Why did the band broke up?

MELOMANO ADICTO

Hey and you should add "Bring It On" on Spotify, that would be nice!

I’m really glad you like Bring it On - that album was 98% written by me (Darren, guitars) and Jay (ex-vocalist). We are working to get it on Spotify but it’s not as straightforward as it should be unfortunately. I guess we broke up from how difficult it is to be constantly travelling/playing with no money, after 7 years , it was difficult to keep funding ourselves. Did you know our singer from ‘cause and effect’ went on to join a band called Freeze the Atlantic? our other guitarist Carl went on to become an awesome producer - producing or mixing, Trivium, Carcass, Slipknot, Machine Head, As I Lay Dying, Bullet For My Valentine, Behemoth, While She Sleeps, Gunship.

My favourite songs off this album are Bring it On (which is my homage to Helmet), and Contagious where we tried to get that Deftones/Far rolling groove going!
