Walking on nails
Rabia Sorda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything's been said
No need to fight, no need to understand
Everyone
Everyone's scared of what they dream
Of what they dream
Look around, look into their eyes
Look around, we've done all we could
And what's the difference?
What's the difference?
[CHORUS:]
Someday these wounds will heal
Someday we'll flee
Where we all can see
Someday we'll leave as we came:
Walking on nails
Everything
Everything's been told
I walked the road and only found scum
Far and wide I walked in despair
My feet bled (x2)
Look around, they are all alone
They learned to taste, but not to throw up
Walking on nails, we've done all we could
And what's the difference?
What's the difference?
CHORUS
That's the fucking truth
Hit me! Wake me up!
CHORUS
That's the fucking truth
Hit me! Wake me up!
Hit me, wake me up (x 3)
Hit me
Don't wake me up
Hit me, wake me up (x 3)
Hit me
Don't wake me up
CHORUS
Walking, that's the fucking truth
CHORUS
Walking, that's the fucking truth
Walking
Hit me, wake me up
The lyrics of Rabia Sorda's song "Walking on Nails" are quite emotionally charged, exploring themes such as fear, despair, and disillusionment. The opening lines indicate that the subject of the song has reached a certain level of acceptance - "Everything's been said / No need to fight, no need to understand" - almost as if they have given up on trying to change things. The next lines talk about how everyone is scared of their dreams, highlighting the fear and hopelessness that pervades the world around them.
The second verse talks about how the subject has walked far and wide, only to find "scum" - in other words, they have been disappointed by everything they have encountered. The lines "Look around, they are all alone / They learned to taste, but not to throw up" suggest that the people around them have become accustomed to the difficult circumstances they find themselves in, but are unable to do anything to change them. The repetition of the line "Walking on nails, we've done all we could / And what's the difference?" emphasizes the futility of their efforts.
The chorus brings a glimmer of hope, with the idea that someday the wounds will heal and they will all be able to leave behind their pain and suffering. However, this is quickly followed by the subject's demand to "hit me" and "wake me up", indicating a desperation to escape the current reality they find themselves in.
Overall, the lyrics of "Walking on Nails" paint a bleak picture of a world full of fear and disillusionment, but with a small glimmer of hope that things may eventually improve.
Line by Line Meaning
Everything
All possible things or opinions have already been expressed
Everything's been said
There is no need to talk or argue anymore
No need to fight, no need to understand
We don't have to make an effort to like each other or comprehend one another
Everyone
Every person
Everyone's scared of what they dream
People are afraid of what they aspire or wish for
Look around, look into their eyes
Observe people's faces, their expressions, their emotions
They are all dying, but none of us will cry
People are slowly declining, but no one will shed tears for them
Look around, we've done all we could
We have tried our best
And what's the difference?
What is the point?
Someday these wounds will heal
The scars will eventually disappear
Someday we'll flee
One day we will run away from all of this
Where we all can see
Where everyone can witness our departure
Someday we'll leave as we came:
We arrived with nothing and we will depart with nothing
Walking on nails
We will suffer as we leave
Everything's been told
All stories and experiences have been shared
I walked the road and only found scum
I have explored all paths and only discovered inferior people
Far and wide I walked in despair
I have travelled extensively feeling hopeless
My feet bled (x2)
I have been physically and emotionally hurt by my journey
Look around, they are all alone
People are isolated and without support
They learned to taste, but not to throw up
People have learnt to accept undesirable experiences but not to reject them
That's the fucking truth
That is the harsh reality
Hit me! Wake me up!
An exclamation of disbelief and a desire to snap out of it
Walking, that's the fucking truth
Life is a struggle and a difficult journey
Hit me, wake me up
An appeal to be snapped back to reality
