Bring It On
T.M. Revolution Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bring it on. Another day goes by.
Bring it on. Show me the ray of light.
Bring it on. Another day goes by.
You know you'll never change your ways
And I don't mean the life you lead
You never give a thing away
You tried so hard to be someone
That you forgot who you are
Do you know just where you are
Now everything's so far away
Bring it on. Show me the ray of light.
Bring it on. Another day goes by.
Bring it on. Show me the ray of light.
Bring it on. Another day goes by.
No one knows the way you feel
And I don't mean the life you need
I don't want to think like you
But I don't want to lose my mind
When it's so hard to be yourself
It's hard to be someone else
So you forget where you are
Now everything will fade away
Bring it on. Show me the ray of light. (now or never)
Bring it on. Another day goes by. (over and over)
Bring it on. Show me the ray of light. (more than ever)
Bring it on. Another day goes by. (never ever)
The song "BRING IT ON" by T.M. Revolution is an anthem for those who want to break free from the mundane and make a change. The opening lines "Bring it on. Show me the ray of light. Another day goes by" indicate a longing for something more - a desire for a new perspective, a new way of looking at things. The repetition of "Bring it on" emphasizes that this change won't come unless one actively pursues it.
The second verse addresses those who refuse to change, indicating that they are stuck in their ways and unwilling to budge. The singer doesn't want to be like them, but the line "But I don't want to be the one" indicates a fear that they might fall into that trap. It's easy to get stuck in a rut, and it's hard to break free from the patterns that have been established. The line "Do you know just where you are? Now everything's so far away" indicates a sense of disorientation and a need for guidance.
The chorus is repeated multiple times, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. The lines "When it's so hard to be yourself, it's hard to be someone else" highlight the struggle of trying to maintain one's individuality while also trying to fit in with society. The final line "Never ever" indicates a determination to keep pushing towards this ray of light, to keep seeking out new possibilities and to never give up.

You're going through a tough time, but it's hard for others to understand what you're experiencing.

It's hard to be someone else
At the same time, it's also really challenging to try and be someone you're not, and constantly put on a facade.

Now everything will fade away
At the end of the day, nothing lasts forever, and even the darkest moments will eventually pass.
