Riding Waves of Resilience: Tardigrade by All Poets & Heroes
Lyrics
We ride
We are moving forward or progressing.
The wave you broke
Refers to a disruption or obstacle in progress.
The hand that dotes
Expresses affection or fondness.
All my friends are broke
Indicates financial struggle among one's social circle.
Tonight I take her out
Planning to spend time with someone special tonight.
Painted face
Describes someone wearing makeup or a mask.
Oh, you blacken my name
Accusation of tarnishing one's reputation.
Take it
Accepting a difficult situation or criticism.
On the chin
Being resilient in the face of adversity.
Let the burn begin
Embracing pain or challenges.
We all feel the sting
A shared experience of feeling hurt or affected.
Blood between my teeth
Symbolic reference to a difficult situation.
Come smile with me
Invitation to share joy or positivity.
False gods lives selfishly
Criticism of self-centered or fake deities.
And we, we don’t care
Indifference or defiance towards expectations.
We won’t give you what you want
Rejecting conformity or fulfilling others' desires.
And how can I explain this to you
Challenging the difficulty of explaining a situation without causing harm.
Without burning a hole in my cheek?
The struggle of explaining without hurting oneself.
My knees
Suggesting a need for a pause or respite.
Take a break
Breaking away from a shaky foundation or routine.
From the ground that shakes
Intending to spend time with someone again.
Tonight I take her out
Repetition of planning to take someone out.
Painted face
Reiteration of someone wearing makeup or a mask.
Oh, you blacken my name
Repetition of feeling one's reputation is being tarnished.
And we, we don’t care
Continued indifference or defiance towards expectations.
We won’t give you what you want
Reiterating rejection of conformity or fulfilling others' desires.
And how can I explain this to you
Repeating the challenge of explaining without causing harm.
Without burning a hole in my cheek?
Reiteration of the struggle in explaining without self-harm.
In my cheek
Emphasizing the potential harm to oneself in the process.
In my cheek
Reiteration of potential harm to oneself in the process.
