Tepetricy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From this romance we'll gaze out as the stars will collide
In this dream of life caused by everything
That we've done for all that we've made and gave for anything
All I ask is you'd stand by me till the end
Together we'll pave our way
Grant me the serenity to find peace from nothing
Drawn like a chalkboard I'll reach out for our dreams
Throw away everything past is gone still nothings wrong
A polished finish exit out into intentions
That strive to something greater than us we've lived in this dream
In this dream of life caused by everything
That we've done for all we've made and gave for
Anything all I ask is you'd stand by me in the end!
Together we've paved our way
Soon you'll find it's not
How long you will wait for the Storm to pass its how to dance in the rain
The lyrics of Tepetricy's song Challenger suggest a romantic and hopeful perspective on life. The first verse depicts a serene scene of a soft kiss and slow dance in vast pastures. This romantic image transitions to the concept of stars colliding, representing a momentous event both grand and destructive. This contrast can also be interpreted as a metaphor for the highs and lows of life. The second verse suggests that life is a dream that we have created through our deeds and contributions, and that we must continue to work toward future success. The line "all I ask is you'd stand by me till the end" emphasizes the importance of having a supportive partner on this journey.
The chorus emphasizes the need for peace and the importance of striving for one's dreams, even if it requires sacrifice. The line "give from me, take from me, love from me, rape from me, throw away everything" suggests a willingness to endure anything in order to achieve the desired outcome. The lyrics also suggest that the past is gone and that there is no point dwelling on it. The bridge suggests that living a fulfilling life depends on one's ability to adapt to situations, rather than waiting for circumstances to change.
Overall, the lyrics of Challenger convey a hopeful message about the potential for success in life, but also emphasize the importance of hard work, dedication, and having a supportive partner.
