| Kasabian – Underdog Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think the song's about the band. After the second album everyone expected them to fade away like the rest. But look at them now! "Kill me if you dare, hold my head up everywhere" - they're saying they're not scared to do sumthing different even if we don't like it, they're proud of it. "It don't matter, I won't do what you say, you've got the money and the power, I won't go your way" - they won't listen to record companies or anyone who'll tell them they'll make more money doing it differently, they make ther music the way they want to. It is "paper on the wire, sold yourself for another one" - basically they're not going to sell out. It's not about the money or publicity, it's about the music. "I'm the underdog, live my life on a lullaby, keep myself riding on this train" - in terms of the music industry, when this song was written they were very much underdogs. Their lives depend on the music they put out (a lullaby), they're trying to keep themselves on the journey that is being part of kasabian (riding on this train). |
