Of No Avail Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Had fun just like last time.
The road is clear we're goin' fast we're doin' fine.
Always dreamed of these days as a little kid.
I reached it with my friends.
It's kinda normal now but still i know it's
what i worked on hard so now it's what i get!
'cause i was born with this just to survive.
And i just begun, i'll cary on,
yeah i continue 'till its no more fun.
It's just where i belong.
Hey there's more and i know that i need it too.
But how could i survive without the stage,
the music, man i need this life.
So if my arms ever get chopped off,
and i can play no more
then promise me you kill me fast
unless you give me hooks
so i still can do what i am for.
I play, it keeps me alive...
The song "Play" by Of No Avail is about the singer's love for music and his passion for performing on stage. The first verse talks about how the singer is driving home late at night after a show, feeling tired but happy. He reflects on how he always dreamed of being a musician as a child, and now he has achieved that dream with his friends.
The chorus emphasizes how playing music is what keeps the singer alive. He was born with this passion for music and it is what drives him to survive. He knows that he will continue playing until it's no longer fun, and it's where he truly belongs.
The second verse talks about how important music is to the singer's life. He can't imagine surviving without it and he considers it to be his life. The lyrics take a dark turn when the singer talks about what would happen if he lost his ability to play music. He requests that if his arms were ever chopped off and he couldn't play anymore, he would want to be killed unless he was given hooks so he could continue playing.
Overall, the song "Play" by Of No Avail is a passionate ode to music and the importance it holds in the singer's life. It's a reminder that even if life gets tough, music is always there to provide solace and a sense of purpose.
