Fight Song
The Republic Tigers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every day we're fighting
And we're causing bolts of lightning
Like a hot and cold collision in the sky
Illegitimi non carborundum
If you cared, there'd be love in the air
Can you feel where's your spine?
Evacuate now, 'cause this storm's out for blood
Build a shelter for your kind
And protect the ones you love
It seems that
Every day we're fighting
And we're causing bolts of lightning
Like a hot and cold collision in the sky
It seems that
Every day we're fighting
And we're causing bolts of lightning
Like a hot and cold collision in the sky
You think your fellas, co-conspirators, got your back
When the fear they dispatch comes from a diffident path?
What of them, opponent ready to pass?
When the cloud clears we'll be standing here
Get down in your basement
These sirens are loud
Lock the doors and eat the key
To elude the things you'd see
Take notice
Everybody's frightened by the radically enlightened
And they say to jump still you reply, "How high?"
Evacuate now, cause this storm it is out for blood
Build a shelter for your kind
Evacuate now
Evacuate now
Every day we're fighting
And we're causing bolts of lightning
Like a hot and cold collision in the sky
It seems that
Every day we're fighting
And we're causing bolts of lightning
Like a hot and cold collision in the sky
Get back in your basement
Oh, bury your head in blankets
Unless you don't believe in waking up
'Cause this fight will break all over you
Evacuate now
The song Fight Song by The Republic Tigers appears to be a call to action, a warning that a storm is coming and that people need to protect themselves and the ones they love. The first verse talks about the constant struggle that people are facing, with bolts of lightning representing the conflicts and clashes that they encounter on a regular basis. Then, the lyrics shift to a message of encouragement, telling people not to give up and to keep fighting against the forces that are keeping them down. The phrase "Illegitimi non carborundum" is Latin for "Don't let the bastards grind you down," and it's clear that the band wants their listeners to feel empowered and refuse to be beaten.
The second verse offers a warning about the dangers of blindly trusting others, even those who may seem like allies. The lyrics ask listeners to be careful and not to fall victim to fear or coercion by those who do not have their best interests at heart. The repeated refrain of "evacuate now" is a call to action, urging people to take action to protect themselves from the storm that is coming.
Overall, Fight Song is a powerful anthem that speaks to the frustrations and challenges that many people face in their daily lives. With its mix of hope and warning, it offers a message of empowerment and calls on listeners to take control of their own destinies.

Illegitimi non carborundum
Don't let discouragement or insults affect you

People would show concern and kindness if they truly cared
Pharmaceuti-government got your mind and your thoughts
The government and pharmaceutical companies may influence your beliefs
Can you feel where's your spine?
Do you have the courage and determination to stand up for yourself?
Evacuate now, 'cause this storm's out for blood
Leave now before the impending danger causes harm
Build a shelter for your kind
Ensure the safety of your loved ones and those similar to you
It seems that
It appears that
You think your fellas, co-conspirators, got your back
You believe your friends and partners will support you
When the fear they dispatch comes from a diffident path?
Are their fears unfounded or based on a mistaken assumption?
What of them, opponent ready to pass?
What if your foe is prepared to defeat you?
When the cloud clears we'll be standing here
After the turmoil, we'll be resilient and remain steadfast
Get down in your basement
Take cover in the safest place available
These sirens are loud
The warning signals indicate grave peril
Lock the doors and eat the key
Secure the area and prevent access by anyone else
To elude the things you'd see
To avoid encountering disturbing or dangerous scenarios
Take notice
Pay attention and be aware
Everybody's frightened by the radically enlightened
Many people are scared of those who challenge traditional values
And they say to jump still you reply, "How high?"
They command you, but you question the reason and extent of their demands
Get back in your basement
Return to safety
Oh, bury your head in blankets
Hide your face and avoid seeing distressing events
Unless you don't believe in waking up
Unless you are willing to confront reality
'Cause this fight will break all over you
This conflict will affect everyone and have severe consequences

It's all I can think of lately when my brain is idle. It probably won't stop till I have watched every possible episodes and read every single Supernatural books. Maybe the songs still go on even then.
