Story Behind the Song
TIGERS is a heavier rock song about those things and times that get your heart rate up, and the aftermath of survival. With an overall "alternative" sound, heavy guitar riffs, and breakneck electric bass playing, this tune gets you up! Honk if you like distortion.
Lyrics
In the moment before the moment,
in the time before the time
in the calm before the storm,
you take stock in yourself.
Is this all you are now?
Rifling under your skin,
stalking like tigers there is something deeper,
lurking inside this shadow Hunts you
Tigers waiting at the door,
tigers waiting at the door
when the heat comes up,
when the pulse picks up,
are you one to hold on?
Losing my head in the steam,
the speed of adrenaline pulsing in time
coursing deep within my veins
You're pushed past the breaking point,
pushed past the aching point
Losing my head again,
drowning in the senses of caging, enraging,
the heat of the speed and the shaking
Here where the lead pounds my chest
through my flesh as the shot rings clear
the knife pierces my heart
but now jewelry can quench this fear
thrown spinning, earth, sky, earth, sky
As I crash upon the shore
lower than I've ever been before now
all is drained from underneath
I am lost in my belief, treading water now
But the lifeguards row beyond me to their destination,
the waves roll high again to crest in isolation
Tigers waiting at the door,
tigers waiting at the door
when the heat comes up,
when the pulse picks up,
are you one to hold on?
Hold on
And in one moment
the breathing's easy
and the sea is pleasing.
Beyond the breaking,
beyond the aching,
no more overtaking now.
