Get Back
Pillar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's one way
Cheap ticket
Wrong lane
Head on collision
And it's getting late
Time's tickin'
Don't wait for your position
At the red light
There's no stoppin'
Just drop the pedal
Let the speed keep risin'

[Chorus]
Get back on your feet
Get back in the fight
Get back in the ring
And get back in the light
Get back in the flames
Get back in the fire
Get back on the stage
You got to get back

A sweat breaks
You're not ready
To face the fury
Of a one-man army
Well it's too late
The heat's coming
No turning back
No time for running
So you get ready
Lace up the gloves
No laying down now
When push comes to shove

[Chorus]

(The fight isn't over)

[x2]
I was a coward
While facing the lions
But now I've got my
Toe to the line

The fight isn't over
The dream is alive
And we'll keep fighting
For the rest of our lives
This fire is burning
Us all up inside
So we'll keep on
Fighting

Get back on your feet
Get back in the fight
Get back in the ring
And get back in the light
Get back in the flames




Get back in the fire
Get back on the stage
