T.E.M.S. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the talk (talk)
And the tick tock clock (clock)
With the rock (rock)
And the roll (roll)
And the bridge (bridge)
And the toll (toll)
With the brilliance (brilliance)
And the light (light)
With the stink (stink)
And the hide (hide)
And the road ahead of you.
I cannot tell a lie
It's not all cherry pie
But it's all there waiting for you
Yeah you
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
I know
With the walk (walk)
And the woods (woods)
And the subterfuge (subterfuge)
There's an old look bitter and blue
While I'm nothing but confused (confused)
With nothing left to lose (lose)
And if you buy that
I've got a bridge for you
Hey yeah (hey yeah)
Hey yeah (hey yeah)
Hey yeah (hey yeah)
I know
Hey yeah (hey yeah)
Hey yeah (hey yeah)
Hey yeah (hey yeah)
I know
Oh
Every day is new again
Every day is yours to win
And that's how heroes are made
I wanted (I wanted) to win (to win)
So I'd said it again:
That's how heroes are made
Hey yeah (hey yeah)
Hey yeah (hey yeah)
Hey yeah
I know
Hey yeah (hey yeah)
Hey yeah (hey yeah)
Hey yeah
I know
Ah
In T.E.M.S.'s song "Win," the artist reflects on the various experiences that make up a person's life and how they can impact one's ability to succeed. The opening lines of the song focus on the external factors that can influence a person, such as their appearance and the passing of time represented by the ticking of a clock. The song then shifts to describe the more internal aspects of a person, such as their brilliance and inner light, as well as their flaws and struggles, represented by the stink and the need to hide. Despite these challenges, the song asserts that there is still potential for success and that every day is a new opportunity to overcome obstacles and achieve one's goals.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that success is within reach, stating that every day is yours to win and that heroes are made by persevering through difficult times. This message is supported by the verses, which describe the difficulties and setbacks that the artist himself has faced, such as feeling confused and having nothing left to lose. Ultimately, the song encourages listeners to keep pushing forward and to believe that they can succeed despite any obstacles they may face.
