Pressure
Seeed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fearâ??s the curse, today's word is pressure
The worry and the strife are beyond that measure
Speed racer takin in that pressure
Pressureâ??s the fear, pressureâ??s the tear
Pressure is torture, torture is burning
Verbal arm twisting, pressure ear pinchin
Just pack up and go on
Lets get outa here...
Enuff:
Look! your baldhead a go turning grey
Pressure say so:
Take the grey away!
Pressure, the fear of a physical process,
Itâ??s the fear of bloodclaat bloodmess!
P-are-e-s sure when I get up early
When I get home
When I sit down down late
Pressure!
Get vexed when I see my ex
Pressure, pressure
What is coming next ?
Timeâ??s running quick quick !
In your pocket, kid, the fuse catch fire
The bomb a go tick, tick
Young bwoy get older ,don't look over your shoulder
Look out forward, find a girl fi hold ya
Eased:
Looser !
Dem a go say if you have no money
Dem a say: your cheap clothes look funny
Youâ??re a man now your time has come to proof,
So get a girl on your backseat
Looser!
Dem a go say if you have no job
Dem a say: you gonna be a drop
Is what they say
Society a rob and rule you, pull you,
Gives you pressure
Timeâ??s running quick quick !
In your pocket, kid, the fuse catch fire
The bomb a go tick, tick
Young bwoy get older ,don't look over your shoulder
Look out forward, find a girl fi hold ya
The song "Pressure" by Seeed delves into the subject of the immense pressure that human beings undergo in various aspects of life. The opening line of the song, "Fear's the curse, today's word is pressure," immediately sets the tone for the rest of the track. The lyrics suggest that pressure can manifest in different forms and that it can take a toll on people mentally and physically. The following lines, "The worry and the strife are beyond that measure, speed racer takin in that pressure, pressure's the fear, pressure's the tear," further reinforce the presence of pressure and how it affects individuals. The word "tear" could be interpreted here as an emotional breakdown, as pressure causes people to break down emotionally.
The song also talks about how pressure can lead to torture, and how it can be inflicted upon someone through verbal and physical methods. It speaks to the fear that comes with the physical process and how it's a fear that can be paralyzing. The song's lyrics further suggest that people should not allow pressure to overwhelm them but rather find ways to overcome it by staying positive and moving on. The line "Just pack up and go on, let's get outta here" is an encouragement to not let the fear of pressure paralyze one but to face it head-on and find ways to move forward.
