Wildfires
Rising from the Ashes: Conquering Life's Wildfires
Lyrics
every time you think you won't make it
Every time you face a challenge and feel like you won't overcome it.
and each time you're convinced that you can't take it
Whenever you are convinced that the situation is too difficult to endure.
picture me in this light
Imagine me in a positive light during those tough moments.
think of me, you can fight
Consider my existence as inspiration; you can persevere through difficulties.
i've been chewed up and spit
Expressing experiences of being mistreated and discarded.
i've been big, i've been hit
Reflecting on times of significance and impact.
i've been burned but i have learned
Conveying the resilience gained from facing adversity.
that we survive, we get by
Emphasizing the theme of survival and resilience.
we take the hit and we learn to fight
Learning from setbacks and developing the ability to fight back.
we collide, but we don't die
Surviving collisions with challenges without succumbing.
trying to put out wildfires
Expressing the struggle to overcome metaphorical "wildfires" or intense difficulties.
when you get the feeling that it's not in you
When you doubt your abilities, remember that overcoming is within you.
and all those times remind you of what you can't do
Reflecting on moments of self-doubt and the limitations one perceives.
remember me, i've lost and loved
Recalling experiences of loss and love, with a commitment to resilience.
and i am not giving up
Determined not to give up despite challenges.
though i've been torn, i've been used
Describing experiences of being torn, used, fooled, and abused.
i've been fooled, i've abused
Acknowledging the infringement on basic rights but celebrating being alive.
all my rights to living, but i'm alive
Highlighting the resilience in the face of challenges.
'cause we survive, we get by
Reiterating the theme of survival and resilience.
we take the hit and we learn to fight
Continuing the process of learning and fighting after setbacks.
we collide, but we don't die
Surviving collisions without succumbing to defeat.
trying to put out wildfires
Repeating the metaphor of trying to extinguish intense difficulties.
let them come, i'm going to let them take me
Accepting challenges and allowing them to shape one's character.
let them burn up everything that's made me
Willingness to endure the destruction of aspects that have defined one.
'til the end, i swear, i'm never going to let them break me
Promising not to be broken by challenges until the end.
though i've been crushed, i've been killed
Expressing experiences of being crushed, killed, and scared.
i've been scared, but god, i will
Commitment to persevere and continue despite fear.
keep on trudging up this crazy hill
Persisting in facing the challenges of life.
we survive, we get by
Reiterating the theme of survival and resilience.
we take the hit and we learn to fight
Learning from hits and developing the ability to fight back.
we collide, but we don't die
Surviving collisions without succumbing to defeat.
trying to put out wildfires
Repeating the metaphor of trying to extinguish intense difficulties.
when there's no doubt how it's going to turn out
Expressing certainty that challenges will be overcome.
let them burn out, never put out wildfires
Declaring a refusal to let challenges overcome and extinguish one's spirit.
