When Words Run Dry
Unveiling the Battle Within: When Words Run Dry by Catherine Elms
Lyrics
You put on such a show
You present yourself in a dramatic manner.
A dazzling display
An impressive exhibition of skills or talents.
Of a mean contender who'll make the play
Acting as a tough competitor ready to take action.
With your talk and tools
Using words and strategies.
You nearly had me fooled
You almost deceived me, but it's insincere and of low quality.
But it's forged and cheap in every way
Fabricated and not genuine in every aspect.
I'm in the game, if only they could see
Participating in the competition, hoping to be recognized.
But who'd back a calamitous thing like me?
Questioning support for someone as troubled as yourself.
So I try to emulate all that you do
Attempting to imitate your actions.
But my blundering fear bleeds right through.
Your nervousness and mistakes are evident.
They say "you'd better try a bit harder to show us what you're worth"
Advice to put in more effort to prove your value.
I guess I better play a bit smarter.
A realization to act more intelligently.
So I'll fight until I'm free from
Struggling for freedom from judgments.
Everything they think of me, and
Resisting societal opinions about yourself.
We'll see who's standing when words run dry.
A determination to endure and prove yourself when communication becomes difficult.
What a mess we're in this vicious industry
Commentary on the challenges within the competitive industry.
You're so slick, all teeth, so unlike me.
Contrasting yourself with someone polished and confident.
Is there a way to step out of the constant grind?
Exploring if there's an escape from the demanding routine.
But I know I have purpose deep inside.
Awareness of inner purpose despite external pressures.
Sometimes I think I'll try a bit harder to show them what I'm worth
Considering putting in more effort to showcase your value.
In fact, I gotta play a bit smarter.
An affirmation to act more strategically.
So I'll fight until I'm stronger
Committing to fight until becoming stronger.
Play the game just a little bit longer
Enduring the game for a little longer.
And we'll see who's standing when words run dry.
Determining who will remain steadfast when communication becomes challenging.
