Music Video : The Hall of Fame (The Script)

Why are you sharing this song?

This song is The Hall of Fame from the band The Script. I share this song because its lyrics are truly inspiring. Every time when I have some setbacks and feel frustrated, I will listen to this song to get the power again. Hence, I share it with you, hope it can bring the same positive power to you, too!

The meaning of the lyrics:

At the beginning, it signs that :

Yeah, you could be the greatest
You can be the best
You can be the king kong banging on your chest

You could beat the world
You could beat the war
You could talk to God, go banging on his door

You can throw your hands up
You can beat the clock
You can move a mountain
You can break rocks

At first, the signer tried to tell their audience that he/she is really excellent. Besides, he also said that he trusts that the audience can to do many extremely hard tasks. I think this part can make me think all the challenging tasks I counter in the real life become much easier.

The next part is:

You can be a master
Don't wait for luck
Dedicate yourself and you can find yourself

Standing in the hall of fame
And the world's gonna know your name
Cause you burn with the brightest flame
And he world's gonna know your name
And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame

In this part, the lyrics encourage the audience to face the challenge and try to get the opportunities by himself or herself rather than sit there to wait for luck. I think “Dedicate yourself and you can find yourself” wants to tell the audience that he/she have to make a lot of efforts on what you mind, and then he/she can find what the definition of success in his/her mind.

The third part is:

You could go the distance
You could run the mile
You could walk straight through hell with a smile

You could be the hero
You could get the gold
Breaking all the records they thought could never be broke

Do it for your people
Do it for your pride
Never gonna know if you never even try

Do it for your country
Do it for your name
Cause there's gonna be a day
When you're...

Standing in the hall of fame

This part is a little bit similar with the first part. However, I really like the sentence” You could walk straight through hell with a smile". I think the singer tried to remind the audience that he/she should not forget to be happy and smile even though he/she is facing a challenging tasks and huge stress.

In addition, I do also appreciate the sentence” Never gonna know if you never try”. Sometimes when we face some difficult tasks, we will choose not to try because we are afraid of failure. Therefore, the singer tries to tell the audience that he/she will only know the results when he/she gives it a try.

At last, the lyrics said that “Do it for your people. Do it for your country.”

.This part is also significant because sometimes people try to perform well or outstanding is not only for themselves but also for their families or even countries.
