surrounds you
You can break from everything that
confines you
Some to trust, look in my eyes
I will guide you
So I say
You can't know follow
What I say to you take with you today
The pressure it brings
Alone alive to know
What I say to you take with you today
You can't take the pain
To live to know
You can't fake
Everything that reminds you
How you feel
Time will tell what's inside you
You can't know follow
What I say to you take with you today
The pressure it brings
Alone alive to know
What I say to you take with you today
The pressure it brings
Alone alive to know
The lyrics to Sevendust and Aaron Lewis's song "Follow" are quite insightful, and seem to focus on the idea of breaking free from constraints and living life to the fullest. The opening lines suggest that time can be an enemy, taking everything that surrounds us, but also that we have the ability to break free from things that confine us. The lyrics also suggest that there are some people we can trust, as the singer offers to guide the listener with his eyes.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "You can't know follow" several times, which seems to mean that blindly following someone else's advice or direction isn't always the best course of action. The singer advises the listener to "take what [he says] with you today," indicating that he's offering guidance rather than a strict set of rules to follow. The lyrics also suggest that there is pressure involved in living life to the fullest but that it's worth it in the end: "To live to know / You can't take the pain."
Overall, the lyrics of "Follow" are quite powerful, encouraging listeners to live their lives free of constraints and with purpose, but with the understanding that blindly following others is not the answer. It's a message of empowerment and self-discovery, and one that is sure to resonate with many listeners.
