Sultan Lyrics
I've had less than my fair share of lucky breaks
And enough of this fooling around
I've got one last chance to get rid of my past
And bury it deep in the ground
And no matter what you try man
You're never gonna tear me down
When the only blame you cast is your own
And your only guarantee is your fear of the unknown
If you don't cut your losses before you get lost
They're never going to leave you alone
My best bits of advice I'll repeat only twice
After that you can fend for yourself
If you think that your shoes couldn't find better use
About just about anyone else
You need to face up and fold
Or deal with the hand you're dealt
Make up your mind
Are you in are you out
I've no patience for your impetuous doubt
When the only blame you cast is your own
And your only guarantee is your fear of the unknown
If you don't cut your losses before you get lost
They're never going to leave you alone
No
I've had less than my fair share of lucky breaks
And enough of this fooling around
I've got one last chance to get rid of my past
And bury it deep in the ground
Make up your mind
Are you in are you out
You'd be better served as a face in the crowd
You never want the truth to be told
And all your major concerns are out of your control
If you don't pick your feet up to come back around
You get stuck in my way you get rolled.
When the only blame you cast is your own
And your only guarantee is your fear of the unknown
If you don't cut your losses before you get lost
They're never going to leave you alone
Leave you alone
And enough of this fooling around
I've got one last chance to get rid of my past
And bury it deep in the ground
And no matter what you try man
You're never gonna tear me down
And your only guarantee is your fear of the unknown
If you don't cut your losses before you get lost
They're never going to leave you alone
After that you can fend for yourself
If you think that your shoes couldn't find better use
About just about anyone else
Or deal with the hand you're dealt
Are you in are you out
I've no patience for your impetuous doubt
And your only guarantee is your fear of the unknown
If you don't cut your losses before you get lost
They're never going to leave you alone
No
And enough of this fooling around
I've got one last chance to get rid of my past
And bury it deep in the ground
Are you in are you out
You'd be better served as a face in the crowd
And all your major concerns are out of your control
If you don't pick your feet up to come back around
You get stuck in my way you get rolled.
And your only guarantee is your fear of the unknown
If you don't cut your losses before you get lost
They're never going to leave you alone
Leave you alone

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
First, this is definitely not about a relationship.
Second, the [???] word is 'rolled'.
Now for the song meaning, to me this is about an intelligent and independent person who is saying "I have dreams; I'm going to achieve them; and I am not going to let you hold me back." The question could be asked, who is he talking to? I think the answer is anyone and everyone. It could be family, a friend or even a spouse. But, what is more important I think, is the type of person who is talking to. I believe he is speaking about the average person who does not do much of anything with their life. He isn't about to let his dreams get sunk by the weight of your baggage.
second song i heard by WMMF, it's really good
i assume it's about moving on and learning to live with regrets, because if you don't "you get lost"
to me, this reminds me of regretful sentiments post-breakup. you need to get rid of your past to forget the relationship. you need to get rid of the memories or else "they're never going to leave you alone." probably a messy breakup in my opinion, since he mentions not wanting the truth to be told, and also talks about "are you in or are you out" which could allude to an on-off sort of relationship.
I love this song and this band. I think it's saying that you have to face up to what you do and all you can do to make up for it is to be a better person in the future and then and only then can you "bury [your past] deep in the ground".
I've always thought it was a fight song about overcoming all adversity to rule/dominate, or at least to give your absolute best, mainly because the name of the song is "Sultan."
dont mean to b rude or anything, but im kind of annoyed how everything always ends up about relation ships. theres other things out there, ppl. just my opinion.
Any time I'm in a "crap or get off the pot" mood, I crank this track. It's my ultimate motivating tool.
