| Rival Sons – Keep On Swinging Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I believe the song is about how religion is a bit out dated and losing the belief or realizing how religion does not seem logical.. "One day, my prayers are gonna be answered For so long, I've been hungry for something else" -I believe this line is the realization that there might be no god. However, keeping faith hoping that one day his prayers would be answered. "When there's a will there's a way I work hard because at the end of the day The Lord helps those that help themselves" -This line I see it as realizing that even though you have faith in god, you won't achieve anything in life unless you work for it. "Right now, somebody's counting my money So much that they can't see the top of the stack" -This is the fact about how much religion steals from those who are so into it. How religion rakes in money from people who can be easily persuade into "Donating to the church of god" "When there's a will there's a way That money's gonna find my hand one day And when it does, I ain't looking back" -I have trouble with this one. It may have something to do with Karma and how him believing or being a sheep to religion is going to help him in the end. "Hey hey, I keep my head down But I keep on swinging" -I believe he is saying that He is not sure about the truth. He doesn't know if god or what the people at his church or his family tells him is true. However, he still complies or goes on with the same lifestyle. That is my view of the meaning of this song. |
