Still Here
Surviving the Quicksand: Burning Limbs' Unyielding Anthem
Lyrics
I've outstayed!
I have overstayed my welcome.
My welcome!
The acceptance or hospitality extended to me has been exhausted.
I've used it all up!
I have depleted all the goodwill or favor that was offered.
Dried it up from my run!
I have drained the support gained from my journey or efforts.
Till those gates lock shut!
Until the point where the gates close and opportunities vanish.
Till those gates lock shut mother fucker!
Expressing determination to endure until opportunities are no more.
When the quicksand pulls you in!
When faced with a difficult situation or adversity.
Who the fuck will be there to pull you out!
Questioning who will be there to help when in trouble.
Calloused skin!
Referring to tough and thickened skin, possibly symbolizing resilience.
Blistered feet!
Indicating physically exhausted and worn-out feet.
Tired eyes!
Describing eyes fatigued from challenges or hardships.
Withered teeth
Suggesting the wear and tear on one's teeth due to difficulties.
Yeah!
An expression of affirmation or agreement.
You like to walk the walk!
Emphasizing the importance of matching actions with words.
And talk the talk!
Encouraging empathy by experiencing someone else's challenges.
Take a step in my shoes!
Inviting someone to understand the difficulties faced.
And see what that do!
Highlighting the challenges at a specific moment.
When the time hits the clock!
When a critical moment arrives, and faith is tested.
And your faith is a loss!
Referring to a loss of faith or trust.
When it's unlocked!
When opportunities are available, who will be mocked or criticized?
Who the fuck will you mock!?
Questioning the sincerity of promises made by others.
So many promises!
Feeling suffocated by numerous unfulfilled commitments.
I can barely breathe!
Expressing difficulty in breathing due to broken promises.
Can't even see the end!
Unable to see the resolution or end of a situation.
What do you expect from me!?
What is expected from me in this challenging situation?
It's everybody's goal!
A common aspiration for individuals to have control over their lives.
To take complete control!
Acknowledging the universal desire for autonomy.
I'm not afraid to admit!
No fear in admitting a shared goal of control.
This goal is also my own!
Claiming ownership of the goal for autonomy.
You tried to beat me down!
Persistence despite attempts to bring me down.
I never blacked out!

I'll be at front in all the crossfire!
Being at the forefront despite facing intense opposition.
I'll do whatever it takes to watch your life expire!
Expressing determination to witness the end of someone's life.
You can't tell me what you needed the most!
