About Glory And Gore

"Glory and Gore" is a metaphorical exploration of the human experience of life, specifically the intense highs and lows that come with it. The song seems to be discussing the notion of fame, power and conflict, and how they can be both exhilarating and destructive. The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the lyrics, describing a chaotic summer air and a path that's slipping away from the original plan. The chorus then speaks of "glory and gore" going hand in hand - a phrase that suggests the idea that to achieve greatness .

Glory And Gore Lyrics

[00:00.38] There's a hummin' in the restless summer air
[00:03.38] And we're slippin' off the course that we prepared
[00:06.65] But in all chaos there is calculation
[00:10.24] Droppin' glasses just to hear them break
[00:13.49] You've been drinkin' like the world was gonna end (it didn't)
[00:16.84] Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend (go figure)
[00:20.51] It's clear that someone's gotta go
[00:23.49] We mean it, but I promise we're not mean
[00:26.65] And the cry goes out (Oh!)
[00:31.92] They lose their minds for us
[00:33.52] And how it plays out (Oh!)
[00:37.15] Now we're in the ring, and we're coming for blood
[00:40.48] (Oh! Oh!)
[00:42.04] You could try and take us
[00:43.98] (Oh! Oh!)
[00:45.34] But we're the gladiators
[00:47.14] (Oh! Oh!)
[00:48.89] Everyone a rager
[00:50.59] (Oh! Oh!)
[00:51.95] But secretly they're saviors
[00:54.14] Glory and gore go hand in hand
[00:58.41] That's why we're makin' headlines
[01:00.53] (Oh! Oh!)
[01:02.16] You could try and take us
[01:03.95] (Oh! Oh!)
[01:05.35] But victory's contagious
[01:10.40] Delicate in every way but one (the swordplay)
[01:13.77] God knows we like archaic kinds of fun (the old ways)
[01:17.10] Chance is the only game I play with, baby
[01:20.79] We let our battles choose us
[01:23.36] And the cry goes out (Oh!)
[01:28.58] They lose their minds for us
[01:30.27] And how it plays out (Oh!)
[01:33.82] Now we're in the ring, and we're coming for blood
[01:37.12] (Oh! Oh!)
[01:38.77] You could try and take us
[01:40.56] (Oh! Oh!)
[01:42.04] But we're the gladiators
[01:43.96] (Oh! Oh!)
[01:45.41] Everyone a rager
[01:47.26] (Oh! Oh!)
[01:48.78] But secretly they're saviors
[01:50.86] Glory and gore go hand in hand
[01:55.15] That's why we're makin' headlines
[01:57.23] (Oh! Oh!)
[01:58.74] You could try and take us
[02:00.50] (Oh! Oh!)
[02:02.08] But victory's contagious
[02:07.34] No-one 'round here's good at keepin' their eyes closed
[02:13.79] The sun's startin' to light up when we're walking home
[02:20.43] Tired little laughs, gold-lie promises
[02:23.98] We'll always win at this, I don't ever think about death
[02:28.41] It's alright if you do, it's fine
[02:34.06] We gladiate, but I guess we're really fighting ourselves
[02:40.35] Roughin' up our minds, so we're ready when the kill time comes
[02:47.16] Wide awake in bed, words in my brain
[02:50.32] "Secretly you love this, do you even wanna go free?"
[02:55.35] Let me in the ring, I'll show you what that big word means
[03:00.33] (Oh! Oh!)
[03:02.12] You could try and take us
[03:03.94] (Oh! Oh!)
[03:05.40] But we're the gladiators
[03:07.20] (Oh! Oh!)
[03:08.81] Everyone a rager
[03:10.52] (Oh! Oh!)
[03:12.03] But secretly they're saviors
[03:14.29] Glory and gore go hand in hand
[03:18.48] That's why we're makin' headlines
[03:20.57] (Oh! Oh!)
[03:22.15] You could try and take us
[03:23.90] (Oh! Oh!)
[03:25.53] But victory's contagious
[03:27.52]
