Vice Grip Lyrics

A system of complete control. The pressure builds.
It wraps its hands around your throat. A constant battle.
A silent war of mind and soul.

(Yea, yea, yea) Get up, get up. One life, one shot, give it all you got.
(Yea, yea, yea) Get up, get up.

Keep the flame alive.

Hope for the hopeless. A light in the darkness.
Hope for the hopeless. A light in, a light in the dark.

The chains set to break your soul. Day by day.
You know the choice you have to make.
Freeze up and fade.
Or be the flame that lights the way.

(Yea, yea, yea) Get up, get up. One life, one shot, give it all you got.
(Yea, yea, yea) Get up, get up.

Keep the flame alive

Hope for the hopeless. A light in the darkness.
Hope for the hopeless. You’ve got one life, one shot.
Give it all you got.

It’s got a vice grip, like ice running down your spine.
This world, it’s got you in its sights.

Rise, rise. It’s all or nothing.
Rise, rise. It’s do or die. Rise.

(Yea, yea, yea) Get up, get up. One life, one shot, give it all you got.
(Yea, yea, yea) Get up, get up.

Keep the flame alive.

Hope for the hopeless, A light in the darkness.
Hope for the hopeless, A light in the dark.
We stand for the faithless and the broken.
Hope for the hopeless. A light in, a light in the dark.

My Interpretation

I saw Parkway on their Ire tour. Before they played this song, Winston said to the crowd "I don't normally put much thought into writing a song, but with this one I really tried to write something meaningful"

has anyone seen the video of this? it is awesome! they are skydiving in the video and winston is very afraid of of heights. what a courageous dude staying true to the songs meaning! and they all had to jump out of a plane almost ten times to get it right! then they perform the song to a live audience at night with flames! this is one of their best vids yet paired with an awesome song!
