This song was for Rocky 3 where Rocky is now rich and a famous knockout champ, But he gets comfortable and starts resting on his laurels and living the easy life. That bum bum bum drum sound throughout the song is the punches that Survivor were watching as part of the fight clips they were sent. They looked at some Rocky clips and wrote the song based on what they saw. Survivor wrote this after being asked by Stallone. If you know the Rocky saga, you'll know that this song is about Rocky Balboa. This part always reminded me of the Hunger Games, with the "eye of the tiger" being the victor and the stalker the other, past ones. This one is pretty literal according to the interpretation above. He's letting go of his past attachment, hence the lines: "Just a man (emphasis on the just) and his will to survive" as in, he doesn't want to get hurt anymore so it's just him from now on. He's struggled to come to this level and he's trying to forget his losses. My InterpretationI think the singer just suffered a great loss or lost something important, and he's trying to move on. Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop They stack the odds 'til we take to the street It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fightĪnd the last known survivor stalks his prey in the nightĪnd he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger Went the distance, now I'm back on my feetĭon't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
