Up Front Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That what they believe is wrong
Mediocrity is not a crime and
Everything is nothing when it's gone
Opinions heard but nothing learned
When nobody cares
A good way to fade away
When nobody's there
Toward any true identity without their blindfold
There's so much to see and and every day is
One more day of self discovery
Within their walls of solid emptiness
Must never tell them that you loved
Or why you miss the walls you dented with your bloody fist
In secret hopes of breaking through and running far away
This could be the time to tell them
That you've heard this all before
Adversity has begun its climb
But you know that you've seen it fall before
A stone throw from what they know to be the truth
Just more time to stay behind and follow you
Between their thin lines of humanity
Must always stay forever blind to what you see
Another's axe will fell your strongest tree
Another reason to believe in anonymity
Behind their doors in rooms of hopelessness
Must never tell them that you loved
Or why you miss thekey you once held in your empty fist
In secret hopes of breaking out and running faraway
The song "Good" by Up Front is a call to individualism and self-discovery in a world where mediocrity is often celebrated while true identity is suppressed. The lyrics encourage listeners to resist conforming to the expectations of others and to break free from the walls of solid emptiness that confine them. The song speaks to a feeling of isolation and disconnection that many people experience as a result of not being able to express their true selves. The line "Mediocrity is not a crime and everything is nothing when it's gone" speaks to the idea that life is too short to settle for a mediocre existence, and that it is important to strive for something greater.
The lyrics also suggest that those who dare to be different and challenge the status quo will face resistance from society, and may even be punished for their nonconformity. The lines "Another's axe will fell your strongest tree / Another reason to believe in anonymity" suggest a sense of paranoia and fear that comes with being different, and the need to protect oneself by blending in.
Ultimately, the song is a call to action, urging listeners to seize the moment and express themselves before it's too late. It speaks to the idea that life is a journey of self-discovery and that the only way to truly live is to be true to oneself.

Ricky Hatton had a great career in boxing. Had memorable nights winning belts, fought at the top level in Vegas. Itβs not a long career and I hope heβs proud of his achievements in the ring because weβre all proud of him
@allydign2749
Brilliant episode. Love Rickyβs fights and he comes across as really humble. Hope he understands how appreciated he was by the boxing public and glad to hear heβs found a good space now.
@RB101
Gem of a fighter and just a gem of a guy. Brilliant and open interview and insight into Ricky's mindset through his career and after retirement π
@SuperCityMCFC
I was there that night in Manchester Kostya Tszyu fight and I've never been in a better atmosphere we all didn't stop singing for our guy Ricky. Never knew how much it meant to you until this interview, I hope you know how much you mean to us Ricky. Cracking fella and a boxing legend ππ
@geegleed1636
It was so exciting watching Ricky come up through the ranks getting cuts and finishing fights with body shots thanks for all the memories.
@GeorgieWing
Them body shots used to break ribs !
@CheltenhamStud
This was by some way the most honest and unscripted session ive watched. I am pipe and slippers, 59, but ive been through almost the exact same scenario as ricky without having his successes so i totally relate. Excellent words Simon as usual and mr Hatton, you are and always will be a hero of mine.
