Iconic
Simple Plan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Na na na, na na na na na
I'm gonna be iconic
You say you wanna make it on your own
It's nothing but a fantasy
Maybe you should grow up, let it go
Woah oh-oh, woah oh
You're never gonna win, just go back home
Back to reality
Give it up kid, it isn't in your bones
Woah oh-oh, woah oh
I'll remember every word they say
It's only pouring gas on the flame
They say I'll never leave a legacy
But one day, you're gonna see the best of me
Make no mistake
Whatever it takes
Knocked down, the story of a champion
Next round, I'll never be the same again
Wait 'til you see
I'm gonna be iconic, yeah
Na na na, na na na na na
I'm gonna be iconic
I played it in my head a million times
Started with my destiny
Gather up your daydreams, say goodbye
Woah oh-oh, woah oh
Kill the lights, feel the moment, this is it
Everybody's eyes on me
I always knew that I was meant for this
Woah oh-oh, woah oh
I'll remember every word they say
It's only pouring gas on the flame
They say I'll never leave a legacy
But one day, you're gonna see the best of me
Make no mistake
Whatever it takes
Knocked down, the story of a champion
Next round, I'll never be the same again
Wait 'til you see
I'm gonna be iconic
Na na na, na na na na na
I'm gonna be iconic
They say I'll never leave a legacy
But one day, you're gonna see the best of me
Wait 'til you see
I'm gonna be iconic
They say I'll never leave a legacy
But one day, you're gonna see the best of me
Make no mistake
Whatever it takes
Knocked down, the story of a champion
Next round, I'll never be the same again
Wait 'til you see
My legacy, so clear to me
I'm gonna be iconic, yeah
Na na na, na na na na na (iconic)
I'm gonna be iconic

The Harsh Truth OUT THERE
How can a human soul die? - through departure, a conscious SPIRIT leaves it`s clothing/body = a soul died. The word; "DYING" means just LEAVING or CHANGING REALMS. This word: "DYING" never carried the proof of stop existing. We, humans are considered LIVING SOULS only when all 3 parts of us (SPIRIT + SOUL + BODY) is together. After death aka leaving earth, we are JUST SPIRITS, considered naked as we are without body (carnal or spiritual). It is wise to live like there be no another day for us on this earth, even though we were given 120 years for a lifetime, still not a single second is promised. Well, our earthly lives are just a test in reality and as we read the BBILE (KJV) , we clearly see that, generations after generations, mankind had trials again and again, both, the real CHRISTIANS and the wicked ones. Therefore we ain´t expected ti live goodly without a reasons: no, our living goodly is a real life proof to GOD, that we wish to have life and have it more abundantly . But don`t be a fool, living good ain´t meaning, becoming rich and famous and bitter and full of hate and laziness, no, our good lives - means, being willing to suffer for CHRIST sake and for the gospels sake. We must REPENT AND BORN AGAIN to even start living up to the standards of a good lives. A change must take place in both places, in the mind and in the heart. A carnal mind must become spiritual mind and a cold stone`y heart, must start to beat warmly again. "Help others, protect and care for the beautiful planet we live upon, do no harm...Not because you're promised eternal paradise or threatened with eternal torment. Some people have such juvenile thinking." - help if you TRULY CAN, usually we cant, that`s why GOD ask us to place into HIS hands all the worries of this life. In reality, GOD do promise eternal life to all those, who believe and trust in HIM sincerely. (A CHILD LIKE FAITH = PURE FAITH). and we all are warned, not threatened, with a place, known as GOD`S prison, HELL and the LAKE OF FIRE. GOD ain`t a man that HE can sin, so why are we, you, me and others even dare to think that we, with our wicked and life destroying sins shall be allowed into HEAVEN or on the NEW EARTH? Will the HEAVEN still remain HEAVEN then? - NO. Will the NEW EARTH still remain a PARADISE (for there is summer forever and never have there a nighttme ever again= PARADISE aka NEW EARTH). - the answer is still NO, both places will then be ruined and transformed into the same "HELL" has we already have here and now, last 2000 and even more years.
