Blood on the drums imparts a passionate and motivational message of not giving up and giving our best to do what we love.
In Ashton’s words from his instagram post of Blood on the drums music video he conveys his perspective of the song:
“Will I stand or will I fall? All throughout our lives we as...
[Verse 1]
Have you ever woke up from a bad dream
The one where it seems where it just can't get anywhere
And your legs won't work, but your heart's poundin' hard like a drum
And you're livin' in a city where you just don't know anyone (Anyone)?
I see your face in an ocean of people
It's so nice to meet you, so save me from evil
Have you ever woke up from a bad dream? (Hey)
The one where it feels like you just can't let out a scream?
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been holdin' on too long
Reachin' out for what is gone
Will I stand or will I fall?
Will I ever learn to fly?
Will I make it out alive?
Will I stand or will I fall?
[Chorus]
Blood on the drums
Givin' it all, all that I got
Blood on the drums
Blood on the drums
Givin' it all, all that I got
Blood on the drums
Blood on the drums
[Verse 2]
Now I'm lookin' in the rear view, 105
I don't see nobody wavin', screamin', "Bye, bye, bye"
Now I'm lookin' back, what a hell of a night
Now I've woken from my dream and I'm feelin' alive
They say, "Slow down, give it up, give it up"
Don't you dare listen, never givin' it up
"Slow down, give it up, give it up"
Don't you dare listen, never givin' it up now
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been holdin' on too long
Reachin' out for what is gone
Will I stand or will I fall?
Will I ever learn to fly?
Will I make it out alive?
Will I stand or will I fall?
[Chorus]
Blood on the drums
Givin' it all, all that I got
Blood on the drums
Blood on the drums
Givin' it all, all that I got
Blood on the drums
Blood on the drums
