Wildcat! Wildcat! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you'll build this town
when morning comes
you won't slow it down
like stars so bright, you burn all night
stay calm, stay cold
and you'll fly so high
yeah, you'll burn bright
and you fight all when you believe
oh, you're climbing straight to the top, straight to the top
nobody gonna stop you
you're climbing straight to the top, straight to the top
nobody gonna stop you
nothing holding you down, you're still up in the clouds
you're climbing straight to the top, straight to the top (no)
you fight, you flow, did you let it all go?
kick down, through 'em out, trying to shine like gold
trying to shine like gold
like stars so bright, you're burning up all night
stay calm, stay calm 'cause you're flying so high
('cause you're flying so high and never coming down)
yeah, you'll burn bright
yeah, you'll live free
and you fight all when you believe
oh, you're climbing straight to the top, straight to the top
nobody gonna stop you
you're climbing straight to the top, straight to the top
nobody gonna stop you
nothing holding you down, you're still up in the clouds
you're climbing straight to the top, straight to the top (no)
(cold, ooh)
slow down, that's what people tell you
slow down, but they never gonna stop you, no
'cause you're never gonna take it slow, take it slow
slow it down, that's what people tell you
slow it down, but they never gonna stop you, no
'cause you're never gonna take it slow
oh, you're climbing straight to the top, straight to the top
nobody gonna stop you
you're climbing straight to the top, straight to the top
nobody gonna stop you
nothing holding you down, you're still up in your clouds
you're climbing straight to the top, straight to the top (no)
oh, you're climbing straight to the top, la-la-la-la-la-la
nobody gonna stop you
you're climbing straight to the stop, straight to the top
nobody gonna stop you
nothing holding you down, you're still up in your clouds
you're climbing straight to the top, straight to the top (no)
are you ever coming down?
The lyrics of Wildcat! Wildcat!'s song "Straight to the Top" is a beautiful and inspiring piece that talks about an individual's drive and commitment to reach the top. The song starts by emphasizing that the individual won't get too comfortable and will continue to build the town. They won't stop when the morning comes, and their drive to keep going will not falter. The lyrics then compare the individual's journey to be like stars so bright, burning all night, and the message is clear that if they stay calm and cool, they will eventually fly so high and burn bright and free. The individual's unwavering beliefs in themselves, coupled with hard work, are crucial to reaching their goals.
The chorus speaks directly to the individual, letting them know that nothing can stop them from climbing straight to the top up in the clouds. Even when people tell them to slow down, nothing can hold them down. The outro of the song asks a question that emphasizes the individual's determination to keep going: "are you ever coming down?" The song is a remarkable piece that exudes positivity, determination, and the grit required to be successful in any venture of life.
