Focus On Your Own Family
Off With Their Heads Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No one can make you be anything other than what's inside.
It's your life, whether not you see eye to eye.
If you don't take care of yourself you're gonna be eaten alive.
It's gonna be a rough road, it's gonna take some time,
But it's all there waiting for you, once you get to the opposite side.
Never be scared, never be frightened, hold your head high.
It might seem like it's all uphill and you may be right,
But at the top of this hill, everything's slick with a new light.
It's gonna be a rough road, it's gonna take some time,
But it's all there waiting for you, once you get to the opposite side.
It's not a question of wrong or right,
You'll crawl your way through darkness,
Out of a hopeless hollow life.
[Whoas]
You're not alone, there's millions just like you.
You might not see it now, but you're about to break through.
