My pride
The lyrics of SOiL's "Pride" revolve around the concept of self-respect, personal strength, and overcoming challenges in life. The song starts with the lead singer stating that he plans to rise up and prove himself when others are feeling hopeless and doomed. The line "I've always backed my words with what I do" suggests that the singer believes in taking action rather than just talking.
"I'll save me from myself" is a reference to the self-destructive tendencies that some people experience, and the chorus emphasizes the importance of self-reliance and being one's own hero. The lines "Sister you know me, Mother you made me, Father teach me, Brother protect" suggest that the singer has a supportive family behind him and acknowledges their influence on his life.
The bridge of the song contains the lines "Your eyes, deny, kneel high because your pride, your eyes, they hide, through me the hell which I am," which seem to be directed at someone who is struggling with their own pride and ego. The song ends with a repeated "My pride" which implies that the singer's sense of self-respect and dignity is what has enabled him to overcome adversity.
Overall, "Pride" is a powerful anthem that encourages self-belief and self-reliance, while also acknowledging the importance of support from loved ones.
