Cultivate your hunger, before you idealize
Motivate your Anger, to make them all realize
Climbing the mountain, never coming down
break into the contents, never falling down

My knee is still shaking like I was twelve
Sneakin' out the classroom, by the back door
A man railed at me twice, though
But I didn't care
Waiting is wasting, for people like me

Don't try to live so wise,
Don't cry 'cos it's alright
Don't dry, with fakes or fears
'cos you will hate yourself in the end

Don't try to live so wise,
Don't cry 'cos it's alright
Don't dry, with fakes or fears,
'cos you will hate yourself in the end

You say dreams are dreams
I ain't gonna play the fool anymore
You say 'cos i still got my soul
Take your time baby
The road needs slowin'down
Reach yourself, before you bloom
Reflections of fear make shadows of nothing
shadow of nothing

You still are blind if you see winding road
'Cos there's always a straight way to the point you see

Don't try to live so wise
Don't cry, 'cos it's alright
Don't dry, with fakes or fears
'Cos you will hate yourself in the end

Don't try to live so wise
Don't cry 'cos it's alright
Don't dry with fakes or fears
'Cos you will hate yourself in the end

Don't try to live so wise
Don't cry 'cos it's alright
Don't dry with fakes or fears
'Cos you will hate yourself in the end

'Cos you will hate yourself in the end
'Cos you will hate yourself in the end
'Cos you will hate yourself in the end

    General Comment:This is my favourite song from Naruto so far.It is so full of hope, thinking of the lines sometimes comfort me when I'm down. Plus the melody is great. Ah..I just love it!

    General Comment:When I first heard the song, I just took it as: don't stop to worry or think so far ahead because anything's attainable if you just run headlong at it and put enough effort into it.

    General Comment:Every line in the song is filled with so much meaning, you can pick any single one out and find it bursting with emotion...

    "Reflections of fear make shadows of nothing" and "Don't dry with fakes or fears" were the hardest for me to interpret but I think they go together and are the most inspiring of the lyrics... Favorite song... along with "Give It Up" by The Format...

    General Comment:I really like the lines,
    "The road needs slowin' down
    Reach yourself, before you bloom"

    I think the meaning behind this song is that you need to take time to get to know yourself and try to decide early on what path you want to take... and then to follow it with dedication and never look back.

    Really, I think what's so beautiful about this song is that it's inspirational no matter which way you take it. It could have separate meanings to different people depending on what they're going through at the time...

    General Comment:Sounds like he is singing about his own experience, when he was younger he was rash, he saying that sometimes in life instead of going down a streight path even though we know what we want we will run down the winding road instead of slowing down and looking around to see the streight path to our goal

    maby the artist always knew he wanted to be a musician but took alot of different paths before he realized that all along that is what he wanted

    its also about making yourself better, getting rid of your fears before following your path, Don't dry with fakes or fears, dont get stuck with fears, work yourself out while your young then follow your calling

    Reflections of fear make shadows of nothing, if you have fear you will achieve nothing anyway if you rush into your path. In shor its saying to improve yourself and find yourself then concentrate on making a difference in the world or whatever you want to do, sharpen the saw so to speak...
