Gift Of Gab
Outnumbered Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What a fucking joke
Hide behind scene politics
A crutch to help you cope
As long as I remember why i'm here
And who's got my fucking back
What you say and do
Will show all the shit you lack
You don't what it's about
Still there
are those who try to take it from me
They'll never understand what it's truly about
The song "Gift of Gab" by Outnumbered is a commentary on the superficiality and insincerity of some elements of the music scene. The lyrics express a sense of frustration with the "bullshit" that young people talk and the "scene politics" they use as a crutch. The singer asserts that he knows why he is there and who has his back, and that he has earned his position through hard work and dedication. The song is a rebuke to those who would try to take what he has earned without truly understanding what it's all about.
The lyrics create a sense of defiance and passion, and the tone of the song is one of determination in the face of adversity. The singer's insistence on staying true to himself and his values is inspiring and empowering, and the song is an anthem for anyone who has ever felt marginalized or misunderstood. Through its powerful lyrics and driving beat, "Gift of Gab" is a call to action for all those who refuse to be defined by other people's expectations.
Line by Line Meaning
All the bullshit you kids talk
The meaningless and insincere talk indulged in by youngsters
What a fucking joke
How ridiculous it is
Hide behind scene politics
Using backstage maneuvering as an excuse for one’s own shortcomings
A crutch to help you cope
A support system relied upon to manage everyday life
As long as I remember why i'm here
So long as I stay focused on my purpose
And who's got my fucking back
And remember who my real friends and supporters are
What you say and do
Your words and actions
Will show all the shit you lack
Reveal your inadequacies
I've earned what I have today
I have worked hard to achieve my current status
You don't what it's about
You have no idea what it takes to achieve success
Still there
However, even with all these challenges and obstacles, I am still here, standing strong
