Under Pressure
The Used/MCR Lyrics

Pressure pushing down on me
The weight of expectations and responsibilities is bearing down on me.

Pressing down on you no man ask for
Pressure is also affecting others without their consent or willingness.

Under pressure---that burns a building down
Intense pressure can destroy things, such as buildings or relationships.

Splits a family in two
Pressure can create division and tear apart even the closest of relationships.

Puts people on streets
The consequences of pressure can be severe, often resulting in homelessness for some.

It's the terror of knowing What this world is about
Being aware of the harsh realities of the world can be daunting and overwhelming.

Watching some good friends Screaming `let me out'
Seeing others struggle under pressure can be just as distressing as being under pressure oneself.

Pray tomorrow---gets me higher
The hope for a better future keeps people going even in the most intense moments of pressure.

Pressure on people---people on streets
Pressure can create a vicious cycle of hardship and suffering that affects entire communities.

Chippin' around---kick my brains around the floor
Trying to manage under pressure can be exhausting and even painful.

These are the days It never rains but it pours
When things are already difficult, it seems like everything else goes wrong too.

People on streets---people on streets
The hardships and pressures faced by people are visible and cannot be ignored.

Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sometimes, the pressure is so overwhelming that people turn away from reality, perhaps due to denial or disbelief.

Sat on a fence but it don't work
Trying to avoid pressure by remaining neutral is often ineffective and can just make things worse.

Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn Why---why---why LOVE
Even when people try to respond to pressure with love and kindness, it can be difficult because love can be damaged and scarred by the harsh realities of life.

Insanity laughs un der pressure we're cracking
The pressure can push people to the brink of insanity and breakdown.

Can't we give ourselves one more chance Why can't we give love that one more chance Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love, give love
Despite the difficulties and struggles, there is always hope for one more chance to give and receive love.

'cause love's such an old fashioned word And love dares you to care for The people on the edge of the night And love dares you to change our way of Caring about ourselves
Love can be seen as an old-fashioned or simplistic concept, but it is also a powerful force that challenges people to care about and help those who are suffering.

This is our last dance This is our last dance This is ourselves Under pressure
The song ends on the note of finality, indicating that this may be our last chance to try to cope with the pressures and struggles of life.

Under pressure Pressure.
The chorus reaffirms the central message of the song - that pressure is an ever-present force in our lives and that it affects us all.
