Metalium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
DARE - BEWARE
STRONG - HOLD ON
No one can feel the way I feel
No one can see the way I see
BURN BURN
I won't just fade without a sound
DARE - BEWARE
Dare to Fly
Escape from all the lies
You cannot get me down
STRONG - HOLD ON
Dare to Fly
Escape from all the lies
I won't fade without sound
UNTIL I'LL DIE
No one can hear the way I hear
No one will bathe in blood with tears
BATHE IN TEARS
Still grinning telling me your lies
Just wait, men always see one twice
DARE - BEWARE
Dare to Fly…
Don't let it get to you
You're gonna fight it through
In the end you'll never walk alone
Never walk alone
[Solo]
DARE - BEWARE
Dare to Fly…
UNTIL I DIE!
The song "Dare" by Metalium is an anthem about not giving up in the face of adversity. The opening lines, "No one can feel the way I feel, no one can see the way I see," speak to the idea that we all have our own unique struggles and experiences. The chorus, "Dare to fly, escape from all the lies, you cannot get me down," encourages listeners to be brave and rise above the lies and negativity that may try to bring them down. The repetition of "Dare - Beware" throughout the song serves as a reminder to be cautious but also to take risks and not be afraid to push boundaries.
The second verse touches on the idea of betrayal, with the line "still grinning telling me your lies." However, the singer remains strong and determined not to let these betrayals bring them down. The bridge, "Don't let it get to you, you're gonna fight it through, in the end you'll never walk alone," reinforces the idea that we all have to face our own battles, but we should not give up and always remember that we have support.
