Paul Minshall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’m told there’s something in the air, we breath
If I’m not strong enough to win this fight
My bones will soon be buried here
And I will follow my father
Follow what we all believe
Follow with honor
I see the darkness coming closer now
I feel the shadows getting near, to me
I hear the silence growing louder now
I know no one will hear me scream
And I will follow my father
Follow what we all believe
Follow with honor
Follow to receive
Follow, my father
Follow, and believe
Follow, with honor
Follow, to receive
And I will follow my father
Follow what we all believe
Follow with honor
Follow to receive
Follow
Follow, and believe
Follow, follow
Follow and believe
The lyrics to Paul Minshall's song Follow suggest there is something ominous approaching, that there is a sense of inescapable danger. The lyrics also express a need to follow a certain path, to follow what is believed to be right, even if it ultimately leads to one's demise. There is a sense of sacrifice and duty in the song as the singer declares that they will follow their father, follow what they all believe in, follow with honor and follow to receive. The repetition of the word "follow" reinforces the theme of adhering to a certain course, despite the bleakness of the situation.
The verse "If I'm not strong enough to win this fight, My bones will soon be buried here" suggest that the singer is facing an intense struggle or threat of violence. It could be interpreted as a call to stand firm in the face of adversity or to face the consequences of not taking a stand. The song suggests that loyalty and honor are important values, even if they are costly.

Your guest seems to be keen on talking of the paedophile catholic priests as homosexuals. I know that wasn't the point of the interview but seeing you let him repeat it was a little galling, I'm a bit disappointed with you Dennis. :(
