Overall Meaning

The Sound of Blackness's song "The Pressure" is a gospel-like song that deals with the struggles of life and how to overcome them. The lyrics are centered around the idea of pressure and how it can manifest itself in a person's life. The singer starts by describing how their back is against the wall with more bills than money to pay. However, they know who to call on when they need relief - they pray to God for help to fight the pressures of the world. The song continues to detail how the pressures of the world can play on a person's addiction and weaknesses, but they can win the battle with the help of God. The song emphasizes the importance of faith as a factor in fighting the pressures of life, and how it can provide strength and comfort in times of hardship.


The song's chorus repeats the phrase "the pressure of the world" and the artist uses variations of the phrase in different parts of the song. This repetition is significant because it drives the point home that these pressures are not unique to one person, but rather common struggles that we all share. The use of repetition is a common technique in many gospel and hymnal songs, which helps to emphasize the message of the lyrics.


The song ultimately reinforces the message that we are not alone in the struggles we face in life. It encourages listeners to turn to their faith for guidance and support in times of hardship.
