Accept Accept

The Battle of Survival and Rock 'n' Roll

The song 'Feelings' by Accept delves into the struggles and resilience required to navigate life's challenges, particularly in the context of the music industry. The lyrics emphasize the necessity of being a strong individual who knows what they want and is willing to fight against all odds. This fight is metaphorically compared to battling a wolf, highlighting the relentless and often brutal nature of the struggle. The imagery of sweating and working hard only to have someone else reap the benefits underscores the frustration and injustice that can accompany such efforts.

The song also touches on the daily grind and the dissatisfaction that comes from dealing with 'yes-men' and constant obstacles. The reference to burning up a hundred cigarettes paints a vivid picture of stress and relentless pressure. Despite these challenges, the song carries a message of perseverance and the enduring power of rock 'n' roll. The repeated refrain of 'rock forever and ever' serves as a rallying cry, suggesting that music is a source of strength and authenticity in a world that can often feel disheartening.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics shift to a more direct commentary on survival in a cutthroat environment. The mention of needing a 'business head' and the dangers of greed further illustrate the harsh realities faced by those trying to make it. Yet, amidst these stark truths, the song maintains a defiant spirit, urging listeners to accept the challenges and continue to rock on. This blend of realism and resilience encapsulates the essence of 'Feelings,' making it a powerful anthem for anyone facing adversity.
