After a few former, collaborative rock & metal projects dissipated, Curtis Martin (guitar) Nick Tekampe (vocals) and Ian Collins (guitar) found themselves together again, continuing to try to navigate through what music has become today. The three, unwavering in their determination, efforts & creativity, set out in 2014, following their departure from the military, to produce a sound of their own in a current rock scene deprived of any substance, or originality.
2016 ushered in seasoned drummer Tim Marts as well as bassist Rob Endling, to round out the SixLight lineup.
Now with all the pieces in place, it seems there is a light at the end of the tunnel for these 5, and through continued hard work and determination, they hope to one day be the unstoppable force in Rock Music they all set out to be.
This is SixLight.
Lead The Way
Sixlight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A decade of people wired to fail
All the time we're wasting
Following with a blind eye
We don't hear, we don't see on the path of no light
What's been hiding in plain sight
I'll fight to lead the way
A martyr of my
Generation trapped in time
‘Cause no one makes it out alive
We'll die to be the same
But I'll lead the way
But I'll lead the way
We wait as we take our place
Just subjects numbered one by one
All the time we're wasting
Following with a blind eye
We don't hear, we don't see on the path of no light
What's been hiding in plain sight
I'll fight to lead the way
No longer will I try to be the same
A martyr of my
Generation trapped in time
‘Cause no one makes it out alive
We'll die to be the same
But I'll lead the way
But I'll lead the way
If you're lost and gone astray
When the price becomes too great
I'll take this pain
And I'll lead the way
If you're lost and gone astray
When the price becomes too great
I'll take this pain
I'll fight to lead the way
No longer will I try to be the same
A martyr of my
Generation trapped in time
‘Cause no one makes it out alive
We'll die to be the same
But I'll lead the way
I'll lead the way
But I'll lead the way
The lyrics of Sixlight's song 'Lead the Way' speak to the idea of a society that is doomed to fail due to a lack of initiative to change. The opening lines, "I know we're all doomed the same, a decade of people wired to fail" suggest that as a society, we are stagnant and not moving forward. The line "All the time we're wasting, following with a blind eye" brings forth the idea that we are going through the motions and not really looking at what is going on around us. The lyrics "We don't hear, we don't see on the path of no light, what's been hiding in plain sight" speaks to the idea that we are not paying attention to what is going on directly in front of us.
The chorus of the song I'll fight to lead the way, no longer will I try to be the same, a martyr of my generation trapped in time, 'cause no one makes it out alive, we'll die to be the same, but I'll lead the way' speaks to the artist's desire to break away from the monotony of society and lead the way towards positive change. The lyrics "If you're lost and gone astray, when the price becomes too great, I'll take this pain, and I'll lead the way" suggest that the artist is willing to go through the difficulties of change so that others can follow in their footsteps.
Overall, Sixlight's 'Lead the Way' urges listeners to challenge the status quo and take action towards a better future.
Line by Line Meaning
I know we're all doomed the same
We all share a common fate despite our differences
A decade of people wired to fail
The past ten years have become a breeding ground for failure-prone individuals
All the time we're wasting
We are squandering precious time
Following with a blind eye
We are blindly conforming to what we are told to do
We don't hear, we don't see on the path of no light
We are going in a direction with no clear destination, oblivious to the surroundings
What's been hiding in plain sight
The answer or solution to our problems has been obvious all along
I'll fight to lead the way
I will struggle to take the initiative and show the right path
No longer will I try to be the same
I won't follow the crowd anymore
A martyr of my Generation trapped in time
I refuse to be a sacrifice for the failures and flaws of our era
‘Cause no one makes it out alive
Death is inevitable for everyone, but that shouldn't stop us from taking action
We'll die to be the same
The masses will perish maintaining the status quo
But I'll lead the way
I'll pave a different path and guide others to a better future
We wait as we take our place
We passively accept our assigned roles in society and wait for things to happen to us
Just subjects numbered one by one
We are treated like objects with no individuality, just mere numbers
If you're lost and gone astray When the price becomes too great
If you're struggling and overwhelmed, and need help, I'll be there for you
I'll take this pain
I'll endure any suffering necessary to lead and make a difference
I'll lead the way
I'm determined to show the way forward and inspire others to follow
