The Pitch
Oh Sleeper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The time has come for a revolution
When your drive surpasses your body's reach
You could be all that you ever wanted
Marry your skin to steel to see what I mean.
Step right up and read all about it
In the air, there's a stir with a hopefulness about it
And I'm starting to think it could be my out.
Have I not suffered
Have I not endured long enough
Could it be you're really helping me
It's about damn time you showed mercy.
I have this dream every night I see
The world below passing quietly
I'm lifted up through the cloudy peaks
Til I'm up so high I can barely...
Well this has got to be everything you wanted
This has got to be everything you've waited for
The cost is cheap to see these dreams achieve fruition
After all, the world has laughed at your ambition.
No longer hooked in a maze
With the shadows of my dreams
But am I looking away in the shallow end of these.
Now I want the world to see
I can forever be
What wasn't there for me
Fill the field and fly away.
I have this dream every night I see
The world below passing quietly
I'm lifted up through the cloudy peaks
Til I'm up so high I can barely breathe.
Well this has got to be everything you wanted
This has got to be everything you've waited for
The cost is cheap to see these dreams achieve fruition
After all, the world has laughed at your ambition.
This has got to be everything I've wanted
This has got to be everything I've waited for
The cost is cheap to see these dreams achieve fruition
After all, the world has laughed at my ambition.
Hey! x2
The time has come for a revolution.
The song "The Pitch" by Oh Sleeper is a powerful and inspiring call to action for those who dare to dream big and strive for greatness. The lyrics conjure a sense of urgency, with the repeated "Hey!" serving as a rallying cry for listeners to embark on a revolution to achieve their dreams. The first verse speaks to the struggle of pushing oneself beyond physical limitations and striving to be all that one can be. The second verse introduces a new contender and a hopefulness that change is on the horizon. The chorus highlights the achievement of those dreams, the cost incurred in making them a reality, and the realization that the world may have doubted one's ambition.
The bridge of the song details a vivid dream that elevates the dreamer to new heights, where the world passes below them quietly and they can barely breathe in the rarified air. This is a metaphorical representation of the feeling of success and achievement, the moments of utter exhilaration that make it all worthwhile. The final chorus takes on a more personal tone, with the singer declaring that this is everything they have wanted and waited for. It's a powerful statement of self-affirmation and self-belief.
Overall, "The Pitch" is a testament to the human spirit and the power of perseverance. It urges listeners to not give up on their dreams, but to push through the trials and tribulations of life and to fight for what they want. The repeated "Hey!" serves as a reminder that this is a call to arms, a movement towards greatness. It's a powerful and uplifting message that resonates with anyone who has ever dared to dream big.

Guys, seriously, INFECT THE INTERNET WITH THIS SHIT. I'm certain that this band is at least 20x better than Asking Alexandria, Of Mice and Men, and Black Veil Brides combined. Hey, that's just my opinion, but if you agree, then think of how big all those others have gotten in comparison with Oh, Sleeper.
