Just a Little Bit More To Survive
Radical Noise Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If i scream my last breath on a mirror
My breath dies, mirror comes to life
Beginning for life, escape from its hate
This is my last chance

Hold me closer; I need your shelter
Hold me closer; Just like a newborn child
I don't know how to smell my tears
This is just what life is sometimes
How do I know, I've seen it all
There's no Promised Land above

Hold me closer; I need your shelter
Hold me closer; Just like a newborn child

As time passes by
Re-illusions of the truth arise
We must keep each other warm
Enough to take back our souls alive

Just a little bit more to survive

We're struggling with life; we'll crash its hate
Youth of resistance, our last chance





Hold each other; rise together
Hold each other; we'll rise together

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Radical Noise's song Just a Little Bit More to Survive is a powerful composition that portrays the struggles of a person who feels like they have reached their end but is still clinging onto hope to survive another day. The song begins with the singer screaming their last breath on a mirror, where their breath dies, and the mirror comes to life, symbolizing that this is a new beginning for life and an escape from the hate that has been weighing them down. They view this as their last chance to rise above their circumstances.


The lyrics then continue to express the singer's need for shelter and comfort. They seek someone to hold them closer, just like a newborn child, as they express their inability to smell their tears. They acknowledge that life can be daunting sometimes, and they have seen it all, and they know that there is no Promised Land above. As time passes by, they become re-illusioned by the truth, and the only way they can keep their souls alive is by holding each other, rising together, and struggling with life to crash its hate, as the youth of resistance.
