Bitter Sweet Symphony
Wild Wild Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Motivate your anger, to make them all realize
Climbing the mountain, never coming down
Break into the contents, never falling down
My knee is still shaking like i was twelve
Sneakin' out the classroom, by the back door
A man railed at me twice, though
But i didn't careWaiting is wasting, for people like me
Don't cry cause you're so all right
Don't dry with fakes or fears'
Cause you will hate yourself in the end
Don't try to look so wise
Don't cry cause you're so all right
Don't dry with fakes or fears'
Cause you will hate yourself in the end
You say, "Dreams are dream"I ain't gonna play the fool anymore
"You say, "'Cause I still got my soul"
Take your time, baby, your blood needs slowing down
Breach your soul to reach yourself before you gloom
Reflection of fear makes shadows of nothing, shadows of nothing
You still are blind, if you see a winding road'
Cause there's always a straight way to the point you see
Don't try to look so wise
Don't cry, cause you're so right
Don't dry, with fakes or fears'
Cause you will hate yourself in the end
Don't try to look so wise
Don't cry cause you're so right
Don't dry with fakes or fears'
Cause you will hate yourself in the end
Don't try to live so wise
Don't cry cause you're so right
Don't dry with fakes or fears'
Cause you will hate yourself in the end
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end'
Cause you will hate yourself in the end'
Cause you will hate yourself in the end
The lyrics of "Bitter Sweet Symphony" by The Verve are a powerful commentary on the difficult process of personal growth, as the singer encourages listeners to cultivate their hunger and channel their anger in order to realize their full potential. The opening lines suggest that it's important for individuals to have a strong desire for success before they even begin to idealize the kind of life they want to live. The second line, "Motivate your anger to make them all realize," reinforces the idea that personal drive and ambition can be a powerful force for change, even in the face of opposition from others.
The next two lines, "Climbing the mountain, never coming down / Break into the contents, never falling down," suggest that once you've committed to the process of self-improvement, you shouldn't let anything stand in your way. The singer then remembers a moment from their past when they were sneaking out of school as a child, and how a man railed at them twice but they didn't care. This connects to the overarching theme that personal growth requires a certain level of rebellion and disregard for the expectations of others.
The final lines remind listeners not to give up on their dreams, even in the face of fear or uncertainty, and that staying true to oneself is ultimately more important than any external markers of success or achievement. The repeated refrain "Don't try to look so wise / Don't cry cause you're so all right / Don't dry with fakes or fears" reinforces the idea that it's important to be true to yourself and not let society's expectations or pressures make you forget who you are. Overall, the lyrics of "Bitter Sweet Symphony" are a powerful call to action for anyone seeking to improve themselves and their lives.
