"I Used to Be a Lion", lagu yang dibawakan Billy Bob Thornton, menceritakan kisah penyesalan dan kerinduan akan masa lalu yang gemilang. Liriknya mengungkap perjuangan seorang individu yang kehilangan gairah dan kekuatannya, merindukan saat-saat mereka merasa tak terkalahkan seperti seekor singa. Ditinggalkan oleh orang yang mereka kasihi dan dilanda penyesalan, mereka mendapati diri mereka hidup di bawah bayang-bayang diri mereka sebelumnya, hanya mampu mengingat kejayaan yang pernah mereka miliki.
I Used to Be a Lion Lyrics
Billy Bob Thornton
I don't have a girl to bail me out tonight
And I don't have the means to help myself
I don't have a friend to get me tight tonight
It seems like nothings right when nothings left
I bit the hand that fed me & I made the knife that bled me
But I used to be a lion
But I used to be a lion
I don't have the pride to hold my head up high
And I don't have the strength to make the kill
These days I don't run free I'm just passing by
Waking up at all is my only thrill
I lost the ones that love me
Now everyone's above me
But I used to be a lion
I used to be a lion
And I don't have the means to help myself
I don't have a friend to get me tight tonight
It seems like nothings right when nothings left
I bit the hand that fed me & I made the knife that bled me
But I used to be a lion
But I used to be a lion
I don't have the pride to hold my head up high
And I don't have the strength to make the kill
These days I don't run free I'm just passing by
Waking up at all is my only thrill
I lost the ones that love me
Now everyone's above me
But I used to be a lion
I used to be a lion
