Think
Tyler Bates & Joel J. Richard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't tell you what to believe
I only handle what's in front of me
Put my faith in what I see
I'll know when it's my time to leave
What I think changes everyday
Keep an open mind, it's the only way
I can't be married to my beliefs
You shouldn't care what I think
Do what you want to do
Not because they tell you to
Don't do what they want you to
Do
The bigger the group
The less you are yourself
The bigger the group
The more you lose yourself
Do what you want to do
Not because they tell you to
Don't do what they want you to
Do
Today something's acceptable
Tomorrow it's despicable
Do what's taboo today
Later on it's commonplace
Later on it's commonplace
Do what you want to do
Not because they tell you to
Don't do what they want you to
Do
The bigger the group
The more you lose yourself
The bigger the group
The less you are yourself
The lyrics of Tyler Bates and Joel J. Richard's "Think" urge the listener to question their beliefs, remain open-minded, and ultimately, to be true to themselves. The opening lines portray a sense of confusion and uncertainty, with the singer admitting they are unsure of how to interpret the world around them. However, they go on to emphasize that this does not mean they are unable to have faith in anything. Rather, the singer stresses the importance of putting faith in what they can see and feel, rather than blindly maintaining beliefs that may not align with reality.
The following lines deal with the idea of change and the need to remain adaptable. The singer acknowledges that their perspective changes daily and that it's crucial to stay open-minded in order to keep up with an ever-changing world. It’s when the singer encourages the listener to assert their independence and not blindly follow the crowd that the crux of the song is revealed. They emphasize that staying true to oneself is vital, and that people must remain wary of societal pressures and expectations that can strip them of their individuality.
The ultimate message of the song is that people should do what they feel is right, regardless of external pressures or influences. This is encapsulated in the final lines, where the singer states that the bigger the group, the more one can lose themselves. By embracing individuality and remaining true to their own instincts, people can avoid falling into conformity and ultimately lead more fulfilling lives.

You look for me Inside the dark
I am the ocean
You are the shark
You hunt me like
Your last goodbye
Oh fallen angel
Of the night
Just take my heart
Just rip it out
This holy skin
It's falling out
I lay my body
On the bed
One day, someday
You know I will see you again
I put my hand against your plastic heart
No, suicide is not the plan
Stand far
Even the stars are trapped inside
Oh my There's nothing left to hide
There's nothing left to die
There's nothing left to die
I put my hand against your plastic heart
No, suicide is not the plan Stand far
Even the stars are trapped inside
Oh my There's nothing left to hide
There's nothing left to die
There's nothing left to die
Plastic heart
No, suicide is not the plan
Stand far
Even the stars are trapped inside
Oh my
There's nothing left to hide
There's nothing left to die There's nothing left to die

Shit hit me hard when he realized the odds of his survival were so low and he started running when it really hit him when he got excommunicado’d
@angrychoco7099
He's running to get out of the open, as agents are clearly all around him, getting the contract update. He's not so much thinking, "I'm dead, oh shit." As he literally say a multiple occasions, to paraphrase, "No matter who you send, they will die." John Wick knows there's no single man out there, even group who can stop him. It's practically his curse.
