Stand Up
The Dead 60s Lyrics

a brand new day your blood runs cold
Although it is a new day, you are already feeling numb and cold, perhaps due to the repetitive nature of your life.

another 24 hours old
Time is passing by quickly and nothing seems to be changing.

a stab in the back before you get told
You are constantly being deceived or betrayed even before anyone has had the chance to warn you.

you'll never get out
You feel trapped in your current situation and cannot see a way out.

and these four walls are caving in
The walls around you are closing in, making you feel suffocated and claustrophobic.

this daily grind don't mean a thing
The regular routine of your life seems meaningless and boring, offering no fulfillment or purpose.

wake to the sound of alarms ringing
Every morning, you wake up to a loud, annoying alarm, signaling the start of another mundane day.

it's gonna get you
Regardless of what you do, your current situation is destined to catch up with you.

and you get shot down on a one way track
You feel like you are moving in only one direction, with no chance of changing course or turning back.

you're waiting to burn out there's no turning back
You are headed towards exhaustion and eventual burnout, and there is no way to stop it.

if everything should break down and fall
If everything around you were to collapse, leaving you with nothing, what would you do?

stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up
Don't give up or surrender, but instead rise up and face your problems head-on.

can't get a grip can't handle it all
You are having trouble finding your footing and managing everything at once.

stand up, stand up, stand up
Push yourself to overcome your struggles and keep moving forward.

stand up for your man
Believe in yourself and stand up for what you believe in, even when nobody else does.

and you've been knocked down so many times before
You have faced many setbacks and obstacles in the past.

still walking down the same old corridors
You feel like you are stuck in the same place, walking the same paths day after day.

you'll end up lying on a stone cold floor
If you don't make a change or take action, you will end up in a hopeless and desperate situation.

if you never get out
Without changing your circumstances, things will only get worse and you will remain stuck where you are.

and all you got is coins and paper
The only things you have in life are material possessions, which ultimately cannot bring you true happiness or fulfillment.

and all the things that'll never make you
Despite all your possessions, you still feel empty inside and unfulfilled.

you can pay the price but sooner or later
You may try to compensate for your dissatisfaction by working harder or sacrificing more, but eventually it will catch up with you.

it's gonna get you
No matter how much you try to avoid it, your problems will eventually catch up to you and you will have to deal with them.

and as you face your final stand
At the end of it all, you will be forced to confront your struggles and make difficult decisions.

when you've given everything you can
After trying your best to overcome your hardships, you may feel like you have nothing left to give.

just to see it slip right through your hands
Despite your best efforts, success may still elude you and slip through your fingers.
