Roar
j.sco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Scrambling up, then being pushed down
Bursting rage fills the air
Violent rage, tearful scares
No descent just elevation
One's off the edge and one's afraid of
Violent blows
He doesn't know
Claws and gore just makes it stressful
The lion's roar
Windows shattering, walls collapse
Curled up too afraid to fight back
Run away then pulled back
Try to hide from the fierce attack
No descent just elevation
One's off the edge and one's afraid of
Violent blows
He doesn't know
The more he roars the less successful
Claws and gore just makes it stressful
The lion's roar
No descent just elevation
One's off the edge and one's afraid of
Violent blows
He doesn't know, hey
The more he roars the less successful
Claws and gore just makes it stressful
The lion's roar
Hey, the more he roars the less successful
Claws and gore just makes it stressful
The lion's roar
The lyrics to J.sco's song "Roar" depict a situation of conflict and aggression. The imagery of flames rushing down and hitting the ground represents a volatile and intense situation. The singer of the song is portrayed as someone who is constantly being pushed down, struggling to rise back up again. The burst of rage in the air and the tearful scares suggest a cycle of violence and fear.
The lyrics also highlight the absence of any descent or reconciliation in the situation. One person is "off the edge" and seems to have lost control, while the other is afraid and unable to confront the aggressor. The violent blows and the lion's roar metaphorically illustrate that the more the singer tries to assert themselves, the less successful they become. The use of claws and gore adds to the stressful nature of the situation, implying that resorting to violence only worsens the conflict and causes more harm.
The repeated line, "No descent just elevation," emphasizes the lack of resolution or peaceful resolution in the situation. The singer feels trapped, as indicated by the imagery of shattered windows and collapsed walls. They are too afraid to fight back and end up running away, only to be pulled back into the fierce attack. It seems that the singer's attempts to hide from the conflict are futile, and they remain caught in this destructive cycle.
Overall, the lyrics of "Roar" convey a sense of frustration, fear, and the detrimental effects of violence in resolving conflicts.
