Spear Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I need time (time)
Love
Joy (joy)
I need space
(Love)I need me
(Action)

Say hello to the girl that I am
You're gonna have to see through my perspective
I need to make mistakes just to learn who I am
And I don't want to be so damn protected

There must be another way
'Cause I believe in taking chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do
God, I need some answers

What am I to do with my life
(You will find out don't worry)
How am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just got to do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

I tell 'em what I like
What I want
And what I don't
But every time I do I stand corrected

Things that I've been told
I can't believe what I hear about the world, I realize
I'm overprotected

There must be another way
'Cause I believe in taking chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do
God I need some answers

What am I to do with my life
(You will find out don't worry)
How am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just got to do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

I need time (love)
I need space
(This is it, this is it)

I don't need nobody
Tellin' me just what I want to
What I what what I'm gonna
(I need)

Do about my destiny
I say no, no
Nobody tell me just what what what I want to do, (do)
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be
Someone else but me

(Action)

What am I to do with my life
(You will find out don't worry)
How am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just got to do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

I don't need nobody
Tellin' me just what I want to
What I what what I'm gonna
Do about my destiny

I say no, no
Ain't nobody tell me just what I want to do, do
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be
Someone else but me

What am I to do with my life
(You will find out don't worry)
How Am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just got to do it your way)




I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

The world is unforgiving in some degrees











Well this creature look terrifying as hell but they still act as human because they want to survive to, in the real world Tyrannosaurus eating a human thus not satisfy there hunger or survival sometimes animals only eat small thing just to help there stregth by little, saying the world is cruel because the Tyrannosaurus eat the child and the wife is like saying The world is cruel just by eating a animal just to sure survival (I'm looking at you vegans) I'm saying the Tyrannosaurus eat them just to feed his young sure they look hella evil they still animal they need survived, I'm only saying is the world is food chain no will actually some animal or human act this just to preserve there need, its just life animal make there own problem, so thus human across history human did this problem to, my point is they act and make the same problems as human do



@inverzional6372

Not even. Legit the first scene of Spear quietly hunting fish and almost becoming the hunted from a massive croc. Almost dead. Literally the first scene.

Sets up the world so crystal clearly but I do agree. This is the scene that let's the audience know what they're signing up for.

So basically Spear almost dies and then his family actually dies awfully within him witness to it all in the worst way possible.

Two tone setting and world building scenes that compliment one another. Which I feel conflicted about which is probably what gennedy and his crew wanted.

Which is epicly perfect. Wholly tragic stuff.

Edit: added "world building"



@t-rexcellentreviews1663

So a few theories about these dinosaurs

1. Fang and theses four are the same species, Fang and her children are blue because their all females while these four are all males which is also why they have horns and their leader is a case of Gigantism in the species.

2. Fang and these four are seperate species of Tyrannosaurs, Fang is what I call a Bluestripe Rex and these four are what I call a Redhorn Rex while their alpha is a fully grown individual and the other are still youngsters.

3. Fang and these four are the same species, but theses four have been permanently mutated by the black ooze and become these huge horned horrors we see in this scene while their alpha who was already pretty large got more mutated than the others and became enormous.

What does anyone else think.

That fact those dinosaurs were just babies is terrifying.
