[Part I]
[Intro: Future]
Drop your location, she think she me or sum’ (Hendrix)
Put on my chains, now she think she me or sum’
She keep a Glock in her bag, she think …
[Verse 1]
You said, “Speak from your mind
The words that it finds
Come out of your soul, a part of the whole”
You said, “What does it change?
Both of us know
After tonight, there …
[TONY]
Maria…
The most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
Maria, Maria…
Maria!
I’ve just met a girl named Maria
And …
[Verse 1]
What happens in dreams where we fly?
Never been as high as tonight
Staring through a window in time
For someone to show me what I’m like
He said, “Hello”, it’s like a …
[Verse 1]
Oh-oh-oh, every little smile hides a little lie
Could cut the silence with a knife
Subatomic bliss is nothing left to miss
It’s just empty Russian roulette
[Pre-Chorus]
Try to brush it off my …
[Verse 1]
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess 31
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice 32
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything 33
[Pre-Chorus]
You held me down, but I got up (hey!)
Already brushing off the dust 34
You hear my voice, your hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground 35
You held me down, but I got up
Get ready cause I had enough
I see it all, I see it now 36
[Chorus]
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire 37
Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar! 38
[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (x3)
You’re gonna hear me roar!
[Verse 2]
Now I’m floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero 39
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Post-Chorus x2]
[Bridge]
Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar…!40
Katy is talking about how for most of her life she has had to be on guard lest she annoy someone or make a mess. This could also be a rebellion against her Christian upbringing and her time making Gospel music.
She refers to her agreement to follow societal rules, which in exchange, she lost a vital part of her freewill.
Katy was so used to following and pleasing everyone that it became to much for her and because of giving up her own freewill she had no ethical code of her own to guide her and she made mistakes that she wouldn’t otherwise have made.
Katy is talking of people who held her back, who she had to fight off and she is now recovering herself.
She tells her tormentors to hear the sound she will make as she refuses to bend to their every whim and wish, to repay all the years of silence.
She warns them that she is now a stronger person and is fed up with how she is treated.
Katy makes a reference to the ‘Eye of the tiger’ hit song by Survivor. The tiger has been associated with power and energy and the Chinese have used the eye of the tiger charm to ward of or exorcise evil spirits. She uses this symbolism to show that she is no longer the weak girl that she was and will fight for what is her right.
She now says that her voice will be heard loud and clear because she is at the top of the world in her life.
Katy talks of how gentle she can be at one moment and the next exact her revenge like a bee because she is now stronger. She has grown and has earned her position and believes in her own abilities.
She makes a roar to let her critics know that she means it.
