Battered
Rising Against Adversity: Battered Resilience
Lyrics
Help me, I'm shattered again, life is dripping out of me
Expressing a plea for assistance, feeling broken and drained of life.
A pounding like never before, it's time to end the agony
Describing intense pain and a decision to end the suffering.
A whipped dog, programmed to obey, I've got to do this right
Comparing oneself to a submissive and obedient entity, emphasizing the need to act correctly.
Got to retaliate, find the strength and mount a fight
Acknowledging the necessity to retaliate, find strength, and engage in a battle.
Battered, got to fight back
Reiterating the need to fight back in the face of adversity.
You are battered, a vicious attack
Describing the person as being battered and undergoing a severe, malicious attack.
Wing in a fantasy world, it's all but make-believe
Escaping into a fantasy world that is portrayed as unreal.
Stalking, never let me go, hunt me down if I try to leave
Feeling pursued and unable to escape, with the threat of being hunted down.
Insults add to injury, re-live it again and again
Highlighting the impact of insults, emphasizing the repetitive nature of the harm.
The sentence will be bloody and swift, it's time to put this all to an end
Anticipating a violent and quick resolution to the situation, expressing a desire to end it all.
Got to find the strength inside,
Emphasizing the need to discover inner strength.
Just one more chance, I'm getting tired
Expressing weariness and the hope for one more opportunity to overcome challenges.
I'm not going to take it anymore
Declaring a refusal to endure the pain any longer.
No more
Reiterating the resolve to put an end to the suffering.
Help me, I'm shattered again, I've got to take control
Seeking help again, emphasizing the necessity to take control.
No more, the end of the pain, I must re-claim my soul
Declaring an end to the pain and a determination to reclaim one's soul.
Tell me, my life is coming back, am I the chosen one
Pondering whether life is returning and questioning one's role as the chosen one.
Beginning fore mercy, I did what had to be done
Beginning to seek mercy and expressing that necessary actions have been taken.
