Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

As the worlds collide
Ima stand my ground
I know that the real survive
Ugh
Never fear we gon multiply
Wit all my heart make sure we thrive
Yeah
Look

Ugh
As the worlds collide
Ima stand my ground
I know that the real survive
Ugh
Never fear we gon multiply
Wit all my heart make sure we thrive
Look
Thirteen getting money in the foyer
Guerilla warefare
Don't get caught up the cross hairs
Avoid the despair
I smell a Brumaire
Shoot ya shoot
Coupe for coup
We prepared you'll never make it threw
Night or day let the hollows flow
As the sorrows grow
All the real gon keep they bucket low
Buckle for the show
New York City glow
Let it show
Hot boy for the snow
Then they let it go
Ugh
All these risks we take
I can blame it on the soil
But they my mistakes
Yeah
Over come the out come
I gotta make a change
Keep it real I can't remain the same
As the worlds collide
Ima stand my ground
I know that the real survive
Ugh
Never fear we gon multiply
Wit all my heart make sure we thrive
Yeah
Look
Ugh
As the worlds collide
Ima stand my ground
I know that the real survive
Ugh
Never fear we gon multiply
Wit all my heart make sure we thrive
If the cops knew the type of crimes I use to do
I'd be ahmoudou'd by the pain if my momma knew
I had dreams pullin up as a legend in a acc legend
Thriving off my blessings like a coded message
You couldn't give out any orders without workin proof
On your resume you either stole a dope boy or you shoot
I remember rockin rugby like i knew the sport
Matching color Prada on my feet that was never short
All we knew was Dapper Dan wit the fashion hand
Hustle for the cars jewels and women was the master plan
Living in the trench's gave me visions of the finish line
Came along way wit this pen of mine from toting nines
Ugh
All these risks we take
I can blame it on the soil
But they my mistakes
Yeah
Over come the out come

I gotta make a change
Keep it real I can't remain the same

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "Survive" by D.mon are haunting and paint a vivid picture of a life-and-death struggle in a harsh, unforgiving world. The song opens with a sense of foreboding, as the singer describes an impending death, with "breathing" ceasing and "no chance to survive." The scene becomes more gruesome as "gore" floats down and a "naked body" drowns, and the physical toll of the situation weighs heavily on the singer, with "fractured bones" and "freezing cold" fingers. Yet even in the face of all this horror, the singer is driven to fight for survival, planning their next move and avoiding becoming "food" for something.

Line by Line Meaning

Soon the breathing die
Breathing will soon cease

No chance to survive
There is no possibility of survival

Gore floating down
Blood is flowing and visible

Naked body drown
A nude body is sinking in water

You feel your body deform
You are experiencing physical changes

And start to change
This is the beginning of a metamorphosis

Fractured bones arise
Bones are breaking and cracking

Pipes as white as light
White pipes that are bright or illuminated

Fingers freezing cold
Fingers are extremely cold

Now your life is sold
You have given up control of your fate

You've got to fight
You must struggle and resist
