FOSTER THE PEOPLE

- Houdini Lyrics

Rise above gonna start the war
Whatcha want whatcha need whatcha come here for
Well an eye for an eye and an F for fight
Takin me down as the prisoners riot

Got shackles on, my words are tied
Fear can make you compromise
Fast enough it's hard to hide
Sometimes I want to disappear

When I feel kinda bad and I'm all distressed
Pass it off on a better day
Well you got whatcha want whatcha never knew
Perfect gift from me to you

Yeah yeah yeah

Got shackles on, my words are tied
Fear can make you compromise
Fast enough it's hard to hide
Sometimes I want to disappear

(Raise up to your ability)
You never knew that I could find
What could come when we realize
The sun won't stop with the compromise

(Raise up to your ability)
Can't stand while I disappear
Run around before i'm filled with fear
Like a glue cause my life is filled with red

(Raise up to your ability)
I know that you wanna
Throw me into the sea
For my ability

(Raise up to your ability)
Yeah you're undecided
Yeah I just want to leave it
Yeah I'm gonna wanna runaway

Focus on your ability
Focus on your ability
Now focus on your ability
Focus on your ability

Gain again what they want to steal
Gain again what they want to steal
Gonna gain again what they want to steal
Gain again what they want to steal

What is the meaning behind Houdini lyrics?


When we focus on what the lyrics are trying to say, the track 'Houdini' from Summer Hits speaks to the hardships and captivity that the artists went through, represented by the use of word symbols, shackle and compromised words. It expresses the conflict of wanting to vanish when experiencing too much but at the same time stressing the importance of recognizing one's strengths as a way of overcoming the obstacles and not surrendering to fears or external pressures. The lyrics of Houdini mainly portray the themes of empowerment, inspiration, angst, hope, and reflection. In the same vein, the song underlines the aspects of struggle and resilience, self-empowerment and fear and anxiety. The text carries through themes of conflict and personal struggle, which may not be suitable for younger children without parental guidance. Fear, compromise, and feelings of wanting to disappear are among the mentioned issues, which can be interpreted as very strong emotions. Still, there is no profanity, violence, or drug use that would classify it as a movie for adults only, hence it is a PG rating.
