In Your Face
Shout Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a dark place
With a strong heart
When it feels life is passing you by
To stand tall
Until a new day
'Cause yesterday is just what came before
To be free (To be free)
To dream on (We just got to keep on breathing)
To hold on tight to what one wants to be
In life
There's one heaven
And we hold that life, in our hands
To find light
In a dark place
With a strong heart
When it feels life is passing you by
To stand tall
Until a new day
'Cause yesterday is just what came before
Now those dark days
Are so behind us
And a bright new sun shines
Down on this, our land
But there's still
Far too much crying
And we let those tears
Slip through our hands
And we let those tears
Slip through our hands
And we let those tears
Slip through our hands
The lyrics of "In Your Face" by Shout are a hopeful message about finding hope and light in the midst of dark times by keeping a strong heart and standing tall.

The chorus details the importance of finding light in dark places with a strong heart and standing tall until a new day, because yesterday is in the past.
The second verse acknowledges that dark days can be left behind and replaced with brighter ones, but there is still too much crying and pain in the world that slips through our hands.

To find light
To discover hope amidst despair
In a dark place
Amidst challenging times
With a strong heart
With a resolute spirit
When it feels life is passing you by
When one feels left behind by life's opportunities
To stand tall
To hold one's ground
Until a new day
Until better times appear
'Cause yesterday is just what came before
The past is the past and cannot be changed
To be free (To be free)
To experience liberty and independence
To dream on (We just got to keep on breathing)
To pursue our aspirations and keep moving forward
To hold on tight to what one wants to be
To cling firmly to one's desired future
In life
During our existence
There's one heaven
Our life on earth is a precious gift
And we hold that life, in our hands
We are responsible for our own lives
Now those dark days
The difficult times of the past
Are so behind us
They are now distant memories
And a bright new sun shines
A positive outlook for the future
Down on this, our land
In our community and society
But there's still
Unfortunately, there remains
Far too much crying
Excessive sorrow and grief
And we let those tears
We allow ourselves to experience sadness
Slip through our hands
We fail to address and overcome our emotional upheavals
And we let those tears
We continue to suffer from emotional pain
Slip through our hands
We remain unable to manage our inner turmoil and feelings

To look at them, you wouldn't think they'd have this kind of scorching sound. But they had not one, but two shredders, in the band.
