My Fate
Embracing Destiny: Black Diamonds' Anthem of Liberation
Lyrics
My life, my fate
Expressing ownership and connection to one's own life and destiny.
Another day I wake up tired and I feel like an empty shell
Describing a sense of fatigue upon waking and feeling emotionally vacant.
So much to do, but yet, nothing really matters to me
Highlighting a lack of significance in the tasks at hand.
Stuck in a circle without a chance to get out of
Feeling trapped in a repetitive cycle without the opportunity to break free.
I'm just a number, just a little, just a little gear in the box
Conveying a feeling of insignificance, being just a small part in a larger system.
I had to get out
Expressing a need to break free from the current situation.
This is The first day of the rest of my life
Emphasizing the importance of the present moment as a turning point.
Gotta make up my mind and stand up for myself
Deciding to make a conscious choice and assert oneself.
The last day I'm chasing your dreams
Rejecting the pursuit of someone else's dreams.
It's time I take my fate in my hands
Taking control of one's destiny and accepting responsibility for it.
When I was looking back, I had to realize…
Reflecting on the past and gaining awareness of a need for change.
For too long I've lived in a trance just doing what I was told
Acknowledging a life lived in a trance, following orders without personal fulfillment.
It seems everybody was happy that way, but me
Noticing a disparity between others' happiness and personal dissatisfaction.
I gotta change my ways, gotta change my days, gotta change 'em for good and start anew
Committing to changing behavior and starting anew for personal growth.
This is The first day of the rest of my life
Reiterating the significance of the current moment as a new beginning.
Gotta make up my mind and stand up for myself
Making a decision to stand up for oneself and make independent choices.
The last day I'm chasing your dreams
Rejecting the pursuit of someone else's dreams.
It's time I take my fate in my hands
Taking control of one's destiny and accepting responsibility for it.
No more need for those tiring stupid role plays
Rejecting the need for artificial and tiresome role-playing.
No more need to pretend
No longer pretending and embracing authenticity.
Sweet is the taste of boundless freedom
Describing the pleasurable sensation of limitless freedom.
that I found in the end
Expressing the discovery of true freedom at the end of the journey.
First day of the rest of my life - it is the first day
Repeating the importance of the current moment as the first day of a new life.
Gotta make up my mind and stand up for myself - there'll be no better day
Affirming the decision to stand up for oneself with no better day than today.
The last day I'm chasing your dreams
Rejecting the pursuit of someone else's dreams.
It's time I take my fate in my hands
Taking control of one's destiny and accepting responsibility for it.
