Off Kilter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of Off Kilter, we’re the best in the nation
All you would’ve beens, could’ve beens, whoever you are
You want to be a bagpiper so you’ll be a star
You’re an educated, duplicated,
Well known dictator
Cool calm collected movin’ up like an elevator
A little bit of wit, lots of soul
Make some noise
We’re the Off Kilter boys
Like a warrior’s bow freshly carved and strung
We march to the sound of the double kick drum
We speak our language and throw our axes
The only thing final is death and taxes
We’re an equal temper of heroic heart
Every man here really slays their part
Illusion of life, we take our stand
From superficial stress we’ve got a celtic rock band
Make some noise
We’re the Off Kilter boys
Make some noise
We’re the Off Kilter boys
The opening line of "Sit back and relax, to the new creation," sets the tone for Off Kilter's song "Rap." The upbeat and energetic track mixes elements of rap, Celtic, and rock to create a unique sound. The lyrics reflect the band's pride in being the best in the nation and urge listeners to follow their dreams, no matter who they are. They address those who may have missed their chance at greatness but convey that it's never too late to chase after their aspirations. This verse portrays the band as motivating and inspirational, using their music to encourage listeners to pursue their goals.
The second verse takes on a more warrior-like tone, evoking images of a battle march. The band members are likened to fighters, armed with their bagpipes and axes, marching to the beat of the drums. They speak their own language, embodying a sense of individuality and nonconformity. The lines "The only thing final is death and taxes / We're an equal temper of heroic heart," add a sense of mortality and an acknowledgment of life's inevitabilities. The song's chorus repeats the phrase "Make some noise, we're the Off Kilter boys," signifying that the band intends to make an impact with their music.
