Under Pressure
P!nk & Happy Feet Two Chorus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down on me
Pressing down on you
No man ask for
Under pressure
That burns a
Nation down
Splits a family
Puts people
On streets
It's the terror
Of knowing
What this world
Is about
Watching some
Good friends
Screaming let
Me out
Pray tomorrow
Takes me higher
Pray tomorrow
Takes me higher
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
Can't we give ourselves
One more chance
Why can't we give
Ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love
Give love give love
Give love give love
Give love give love
Give love
Give love give love
Give love give love
Cause love's such
An old fashioned word
And love dares you
To care
For people on the
Edge of the night
And love dares you
To change our way
Of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
The lyrics of P!nk and Happy Feet Two Chorus's song "Under Pressure / Rythm Nation" are a commentary on the stress and pressure of modern society. The first verse is about the weight of pressure that is constantly present and how it can split families and put people on streets. The chorus begs for relief from the pressure, hoping that tomorrow will bring relief.
The second part of the song talks about the need for love and how it can be the solution to the problems of the world. The lyrics suggest that if we could give ourselves one more chance and show love and care to each other – even those on the edge of the night – we can change our ways of caring about ourselves. The line "This is our last dance" seems to suggest that we need to make the most of our time here on earth, which is plagued by pressure and challenges.
Overall, the song is a call to action to show love and care to others in order to overcome the pressure and challenges that life throws at us.
