This song is all about struggle. The struggle to succeed, to overcome, to prosper, to survive. Sometimes we feel like David fighting Goliath, like the odds are impossible, but ' the bigger they are, the harder they fall.'
With this tune I was pushing for a big rock sound like old Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, Lenny Kravitz or the Foo Fighters. Starts out with the heavy flanger riff, then the wah wah melody kicks in. Meant to be played at the volume of 11.
lyrics
In the shadow of giants
I feel so small
In the shadow of giants
I'm a mosquito
Praying that none will stomp me
Cause to them I'm just a little flea, yeah
In the shadow of giants
I am running
In the shadow of giants
The sun shines cold
Tiptoeing softly to not arouse suspicion
Til I wake you by my decision
For with mine sword I'll prick your toe
Cause discomfort, pain and woe
O mighty giant hear my call
For one day shall be me who's towering tall
In the shadow of giants
my light's a firefly
In the shadow of giants
I strive to shine
I see your gleaming eggs of gold
They'll shine forever while you grow old
For with mine sword I'll prick your toe
Cause discomfort, pain and woe
O mighty giant hear my call
For one day shall be me who's towering tall
In the shadow of giants
My shout is a whisper
In the shadow of giants
I'm still bold
I'll slip right thru your fingers
See you fade while my soul lingers
For with mine sword I'll prick your toe
Cause discomfort, pain and woe
O mighty giant hear my call
For one day shall be me
You can't stop me now
You won't stop me now, no
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
O mighty giant hear my call
I'm towering tall
