Sweat

Running low.
It’s gettin’ late.
Working hard.
The pressure’s risin’.

I’m feelin’ hot.
Pushing past.
All the people
Get out of my way.

Gettin’ old.
There’ nothing left.
I’m burning out.
I keep on drivin’.

Burning up.
But muscles ache.
Never show.
Any pain.

In this crazy world you’re gonna get nowhere.
You’re get nowhere.
In this selfish city you’re gonna get nothin’.
You’re gonna get nothin’.
Till you walk through the flames and broken glass.
And listen to the folk who’ve done it all before.

Sweat, sweat, sweat …
You’re gonna get nowhere.

Sweat, sweat, sweat ….
You’re gonna get nothing.

Sweat, sweat.

Feeling like.
You’re gonna break.
Never show.
Any weakness.

Pushing through.
The pressure’s on.
Start to fear.
You’re gonna fail.

Gettin’ old.
There’ nothing left.
I’m burning out.
I keep on drivin’.


Burning up.
But muscles ache.
Never show.
Any pain.

In this crazy world you’re gonna get nowhere.
You’re gonna get nowhere.
In this selfish city you’re gonna get nothin’.
Till you walk through the flames and broken glass
And listen to the folk who’ve done it all before.





Sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat.
Sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat, baby.

Overall Meaning

The song "Sweat" by Anthony Alleeson speaks to the challenges and pressures of working hard towards a goal, and the toll that these efforts can take on a person. The lyrics depict someone who is nearing Burnout, but continues to push themselves through the pain and exhaustion, never showing any weakness. The repeated chorus of "sweat, sweat, sweat" adds to the sense of physical strain and intensity.


The lyrics also touch on the reality that success in life is not guaranteed. The lines "In this crazy world you're gonna get nowhere / In this selfish city you're gonna get nothing" speak to the difficulty of achieving one's dreams in a competitive and seemingly indifferent world. The song suggests that to succeed, one needs to be willing to face significant obstacles and learn from those who have gone before.


As a whole, "Sweat" is a powerful anthem that encourages listeners to push themselves to the limit in pursuit of their dreams, even when the odds seem stacked against them. At the same time, it acknowledges the physical and emotional toll of such striving and suggests that a willingness to learn from others is key to success.
