Eye of the Tiger


The song "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor is about fighting and overcoming adversity to get what you want in life. It written for the movie Rocky 3. In the movie, Rocky was a champ boxer and was very famous after the second movie's ending. The beginning starts off with a montage of Rocky beating everybody who challenges him for the title. He now lives in a mansion and has a luxurious lifestyle. Then, when another boxer challenges him to a fight, he becomes overconfident and is caught up in his fame. This is similar to the verse "so many times, it happens too fast, you change your passions for glory.” His urge and commitment to beating Apollo Creed in the first two movies was traded for public attention and fame.

The main message of this song is that we should never think we are too good for something. We should give everything our best shot and focus on what we want to accomplish.
