You And What Army Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
that you can't do this and you can't do that
Just for the sake of the fight
It's human condition that forced back
They force us back in the fray
And people that push remember the name
and remember the day
Cross the line
Cross the line and get ahead of your time
Cross the line
Cross the line and get ahead of your time
Doin' it for everyone who ever held you back
Take off and look for
everything you ever wanted
Take heart to support
everything you ever wanted
Well I'd say it's about that time
Time to try to not stop
Break the boundaries, break through the lock
break the hands off the tectonic clock
Tectonic clock, DON'T STOP!
You’re in for a shock when you see your reverse psychology
won't work on me!
Cross the line
Cross the line
Cross the line and get ahead of your time
Cross the line
Cross the line and get ahead of your time
Doin' it for everyone who ever held you back
Take off and look for
everything you ever wanted
Take heart to support
everything you ever wanted
Take off and look for
everything you ever wanted
Take heart to support
everything you ever wanted
The lyrics of You and What Army's song Nebula speaks about a common human experience of being told that we can't do certain things. The opening lines of the song address the times when someone may have been told outright that they are incapable of achieving their goals, and it's done just for the sake of pushing back. It's a relatable feeling because most people have encountered someone who tried to prevent them from achieving success, and it usually results in feeling trapped instead of taking action. However, despite the roadblocks, the song encourages listeners to push forward and not give up. The track emboldens its listeners to cross the line and get ahead of their time, fighting against the people who have tried to bring them down.
Line by Line Meaning
Have you ever been told outright
Have you ever been directly told
that you can't do this and you can't do that
that you are not capable of achieving certain things
Just for the sake of the fight
Just to create conflict or opposition
It's human condition that forced back
It's a human tendency to be held back by others' opinions
They force us back in the fray
They push us back into the battle
And people that push remember the name
Those who challenge and push us will remember our name
and remember the day
and remember the day we stood our ground
Cross the line
Step outside of the norm or expected boundaries
Cross the line and get ahead of your time
Break through limitations and exceed expectations
Doin' it for everyone who ever held you back
Doing it as a response to those who doubted or discouraged you
Take off and look for
Begin and search for
everything you ever wanted
whatever it is that you truly desire in life
Take heart to support
Be courageous and find the strength to believe in yourself
Time to try to not stop
Time to make every effort to persist and persevere
Break the boundaries, break through the lock
Overcome obstacles and limitations
break the hands off the tectonic clock
Challenge and change the status quo
Tectonic clock, DON'T STOP!
The natural forces of progress should never be halted
You’re in for a shock when you see your reverse psychology
You will be surprised when your attempts to manipulate and discourage fail
won't work on me!
They will not succeed in stopping or hindering me
Take off and look for
Begin and search for
everything you ever wanted
whatever it is that you truly desire in life
Take heart to support
Be courageous and find the strength to believe in yourself
Take off and look for
Begin and search for
everything you ever wanted
whatever it is that you truly desire in life
Take heart to support
Be courageous and find the strength to believe in yourself

I was looking at the Download 2012 lineup and saw these guys and thought to myself: "Hmm, a band with a name as cool as that is worth looking up." I'm glad I did now :)

Cool stuff. I wish they did a few songs more balanced towards the metal side rather than the dubstep side just to balance things out.

Class song! British answer to Linkin Park imo. Thumbs up, big time!
