1) Lionheart is a British hard rock supergroup formed in late 1980, originally featuring singer Jess Cox (ex-Tygers of Pan Tang), guitarist Dennis Stratton (ex-Iron Maiden), guitarist Steve Mann (ex-Liar, later with MSG, Michael Schenker and Eloy), and bassist/vocalist Rocky Newton (ex-The Next Band, Wildfire), and drummer Frank Noon (ex-The Next Band, Def Leppard). The band split up in 1986 but reformed in 2016 with a line-up featuring Stratton, Mann, Newton, plus vocalist Lee Small (Shy and Phenomena) and Clive Edwards (ex-UFO and Wild Horses) on drums.

2) An Alternative Rock band from Hertfordshire, England. Their eagerly anticipated first album, I Need To Shout, is soon to be independently released.

3) The second was a Rock Against Communism band also hailing from the United Kingdom which was founded in the late 80's and existed into the mid 90's.

4) Lionheart is one of U.S.A.'s leading ensembles in vocal chamber music. It is best known for its interpretation of medieval and Renaissance a cappella music, with Gregorian Chant as the keystone of its repertoire.

5) A Russian melodic power metal band.

6) Hailing from the San Francisco Bay area, Lionheart are at the forefront of the new breed of hardcore monsters.
Clearly influenced by NYHC and rooted in “mosh core”, Lionheart have enough technical ability and metal influence to also appael to a broader range of aggressive music fans. “The Will To Survive” was originally released by Sacramento’s West Coast Worlwide in late 2007, and quickly sold over 1,000 copies with no retail presence or distribution at all, solely via mail order and through the band during their rugged tour schedule.
Following in the foot steps of Northern California bands like Hoods and Powerhouse, the band has built an intensely loyal grassroots following. Lionheart’s lyrics deal with strength, pride and growing up in a world with no handouts.
It will be only a matter of time before Lionheart are mentioned along with bands like Terror, Hatebreed and Madball.

Lock Jaw
Lionheart Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rest in peace
'Cause I know you dying for attention
Bearing false witness
You just dying to be mentioned
And it’s so sad
To watch you struggle with your thoughts
Tryna get a grip you thought you special but you not

And I bet you love this track
So I hope you break your neck
When that beat come back

And I know your still thirsty
Going through withdrawals
But you know you can't hang

Keep fucking around I know
You begging for that lock jaw

Overall Meaning

In the song Lock Jaw by Lionheart, the lyrics describe someone who is desperate for attention and is willing to lie in order to get it. The singer acknowledges that this person is struggling with their own thoughts and is likely feeling inadequate, hence their need for attention. However, the singer also recognizes that this behavior is harmful and sad to watch.

Furthermore, the singer seems to have a particular dislike for this individual, as indicated by the lyrics "And I bet you love this track, so I hope you break your neck when that beat come back." This line implies that the singer believes the person will be so caught up in the music that they will injure themselves. The line "You begging for that lock jaw" also reinforces the singer's contempt, suggesting that the person is asking for trouble.

Overall, the song Lock Jaw by Lionheart is a scathing critique of the need for attention and validation, as well as the lengths some people will go to get it. The lyrics are a warning to those who would seek attention through lies and false witness, and an indictment of a society that often rewards such behavior.
