Let the Drummer Kick Lyrics

Lyric discussion by secorbust 

Cover art for Let the Drummer Kick lyrics by Citizen Cope

I always thought that he was saying "let the drama kid die too. I think if he had been saying that the mood of the song and the way it was used in the movie "coach carter" would have reflected the way the basketball team was determined to honor their contracts and the song would have moved me in a different way.

Who composed the words in the parenthesis?

Those are not the true meanings of the words or the street meanings of the words to my knowledge.

The words are all noun forms of a state of mind. This is a song that describes the emotional enlightenment that one experiences during the trials (Journey) of life.

I think that the order of the soing is very important as it describes the 12 stages of the Journey.

  1. Heroes are introduced in the ORDINARY WORLD, where
  2. they receive the CALL TO ADVENTURE.
  3. They are RELUCTANT at first or REFUSE THE CALL, but
  4. are encouraged by a MENTOR to
  5. CROSS THE FIRST THRESHOLD and enter the Special World, where
  6. they encounter TESTS, ALLIES, AND ENEMIES.
  7. They APPROACH THE INMOST CAVE, crossing a second threshold
  8. where they endure the ORDEAL.
  9. They take possession of their REWARD and
  10. are pursued on THE ROAD BACK to the Ordinary World. 11.They cross the third threshold, experience a RESURRECTION, and are transformed by the experience.
  11. They RETURN WITH THE ELIXIR, a boon or treasure to benefit the Ordinary World.
