Shout
The Camel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another day
I might have found the words to say
All the things I meant to say.
All the years that passed between
You never understood the meaning of my way.
Another day there might have been
Some other way to make
The sacrifice.

Another day
I would try to be a friend,
You would never let me in.
If I could have it otherwise,
I'd chase the demons from your eyes to ease your soul.
But now you've reached this other side
Where hopes and broken dreams can't turn the tide.

Shout!
To the top.
Shout!
Through your defences
Shout!
To the top.
Shout!

Another day
You might have found your destiny,
Knowing that it's meant to be.
A self-effacing prodigy,
You gave it up for infamy
And fell from grace.

Shout!
To the top.
Shout!
Through your pretenses
Shout!
To the top.
Lay down your defences,




Shout!
To the top.

Line by Line Meaning

Another day
If I had another chance on a different day


I might have found the words to say
I could have expressed what I meant


All the things I meant to say.
Everything I wanted to convey


All the years that passed between
The time that went by


You never understood the meaning of my way.
You didn't comprehend the path I chose


Another day there might have been
Perhaps there was another chance


Some other way to make
A different method to accomplish


The sacrifice.
What I gave up


Another day
Another opportunity


I would try to be a friend,
I attempted to be your friend


You would never let me in.
You wouldn't permit me to connect


If I could have it otherwise,
If I could change the situation


I'd chase the demons from your eyes to ease your soul.
I'd try to help you overcome your problems


But now you've reached this other side
You've progressed beyond my help


Where hopes and broken dreams can't turn the tide.
Where aspirations and disappointments can't aid you


Another day
In another circumstance


You might have found your destiny,
You might have discovered your purpose


Knowing that it's meant to be.
Fully aware that it was fated


A self-effacing prodigy,
An unassuming genius


You gave it up for infamy
You abandoned it for notoriety


And fell from grace.
And lost your good standing


Shout!
Make your voice heard


To the top.
To the highest level


Shout!
Speak up


Through your defences
Overcome your barriers


Shout!
Yell out


To the top.
All the way to the summit


Lay down your defences,
Abandon your defenses


Shout!
Scream out


To the top.
To the pinnacle
