Up Front Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
it seems you're just along for a free ride
just a joke 'cause I know you'll never last
when will you see that you're going nowhere fast
afraid to change, you're even scared to try
because your mind's so fucking narrow
you'll never touch me with your bottled lies
too far gone, you're stepping over the line
it seems you're just along for a free ride
I'll face my challenges, I won't walk away
take care of myself 'cause I know that I'm here to stay
I'll never let you bring me down
you'd better hope and pray I never do
'cause I'll be reaching for higher ground
and I'm gonna be stepping hard on top of you
so far away from you and all your simple ways
and all your stupid little baby games
strength comes from the inside
it's knowing right from wrong
that's why I can sing this, 'cause I know I'm strong
The lyrics to Up Front's song Deliverance speak to someone who is struggling with the idea of change and facing challenges. The singer talks about knowing that they are strong and capable of making their own choices, even if others try to bring them down. The first stanza addresses someone who the singer thinks is "too far gone" and "just along for a free ride." This person is a "joke" and will "never last." The singer is frustrated with this person because they seem to be content with the way things are, even if it means not achieving anything. The second stanza talks about fear and narrow-mindedness. The singer urges the listener to take a chance and try something new, while acknowledging that it can be scary. The singer refers to the other person's lies, suggesting that they are not being honest with themselves or others. The third stanza is about the singer's own determination. They say they won't be brought down by the other person's negativity, and that they will keep striving for "higher ground." The singer also rejects the other person's "simple ways" and "stupid little baby games," implying that the other person is immature or not taking life seriously. The song's overall message seems to be about the importance of strength and individuality in the face of challenges and opposition.
