Under Fire
Shy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Into the background to cover my trail
I drift alone, with a heart of stone
Running forever, caught in a crossfire
Living for the chase, watching every face
A hunt to renegade a stranger in town
Standing in the shade, every night I pray
Under fire, I need a place to hide
Under fire, or I'm gonna lose my mind
Under fire, I'm way beyond the law
Under fire, I can't be a free man no more
Standing in the rain, I never show the pain
Got no direction or destination
Gotta hold on tight, 'cause here comes the night
Running forever, caught in a crossfire
Under fire, I need a place to hide
Under fire, or I'm gonna lose my mind
Under fire, I'm way beyond the law
Under fire, I can't be a free man no more
Under fire, I need a place to hide
Under fire, or I'm gonna lose my mind
Under fire, I'm way beyond the law
Under fire, I can't be a free man no more
Under fire, I need a place to hide
Under fire, or I'm gonna lose my mind
Under fire, I'm way beyond the law
Under fire, I can't be a free man no more
The lyrics of Shy's "Under Fire" express the feeling of being trapped and constantly on the run to avoid being caught. The singer is living a life on the fringes of society and is in constant fear of being discovered. He tries to blend into the background and cover his tracks to avoid being found, but he can never truly escape the crossfire.
The first verse speaks about the singer's attempts to run away from his past and his current situation, always trying to fade away into the background. He feels alone, with no one to turn to, and is caught in the crossfire of his own life. The second verse talks about his constant need to be on the chase, always looking over his shoulder, and how he lives for the thrill of being a renegade. He prays for the future, but never looks back, as he knows that the past will catch up with him.
The chorus repeats the idea of being "under fire" and needing a place to hide. The singer is beyond the law, and his only motivations are survival and keeping his freedom. The repetition reinforces the idea that the singer is trapped in his situation and that he needs help to escape.
Overall, "Under Fire" is a song about the struggle of trying to survive while constantly on the run from something. The lyrics are a metaphor for the feeling of being trapped in a situation and never being able to escape.
Line by Line Meaning
Running every day, trying to fade away
Every day, I try to become invisible and unnoticed by others
Into the background to cover my trail
I try to conceal my actions and movements from those around me
I drift alone, with a heart of stone
I feel like a solitary wanderer, emotionally numb and disconnected
Running forever, caught in a crossfire
I am always on the move, never able to settle down, and constantly in the midst of conflict and danger
Living for the chase, watching every face
My life is all about the hunt or the pursuit, and I am always aware of my surroundings and the people in them
A hunt to renegade a stranger in town
I am on a mission to track down and capture or eliminate someone who is an outsider in this place
Standing in the shade, every night I pray
I stay concealed in the shadows and every night, I hope for a better future
Pray for the future, but never look back
I have hope for a better tomorrow, but I never dwell on the past
Under fire, I need a place to hide
I am in danger and need somewhere safe to go
Under fire, or I'm gonna lose my mind
If I can't find a safe place, I will become mentally unstable from the stress and fear
Under fire, I'm way beyond the law
I am outside the jurisdiction of the law and its protection
Under fire, I can't be a free man no more
My life is full of danger and restrictions, and I can never truly be free
Standing in the rain, I never show the pain
Even when it's hard, I never let anyone see how much I'm hurting
Got no direction or destination
I don't know where I'm going or what I'm doing, I'm just trying to survive
Gotta hold on tight, 'cause here comes the night
I need to be strong and careful, because danger is always lurking

Guitarist, Steve Harris is absolutely on fire on this one. Great song and great guitar solo. AOR doesn't get much better than this

@MemphoWrasslin1 As Steve's wife, I am saddened to read such a heartless comment. Real souls, genuine people are a gift to this World....sadly, you are not one of them.

This was a free Flexi disc on Kerrang around 1985. A good group that didn't quite make it big. A lot to do with the fact that the mid 80's there was a lot of competition with groups like Saxon, Maiden, Metallica, MSG, Dio and Ozzy at their absolute peak.

Me too, better than the usual flexi-discs they used to give away. This one was vinyl with a sleeve. My first ever Kerrang. Great solo, no over use of effects, sounds like it's coming right out fo the amp - brilliant.
