Against the Tide
Navigating Shadows: A Struggle Against the Tide
Lyrics
I finally get what you've been saying
I now understand the message you've been conveying
Now that we're knee deep side by side
We are facing challenges together
The storm clouds are circling above us
Difficulties and problems surround us
As we struggle against the tide
We are resisting and fighting against unfavorable circumstances
I feel your grip firm on my shoulder
I sense your strong support through physical contact
But this fear in my head won't subside
Despite that, there is a persistent fear in my mind
They patiently circle around us
Adversaries are patiently surrounding us
As we hold out
We are enduring and holding our ground
Oh father, why have they forsaken me?
Expressing a sense of abandonment and questioning
You warned me that they would
A reminder that warnings were given
Because it's passing down the bloodline
Issues and challenges are inherited through generations
It's spoken and misunderstood
Communication is imperfect and leads to misunderstandings
We're losing light
We are losing both illumination and determination
And strength of will
Our resolve is weakening
The darkened depths beckoning still
The ominous depths are still calling us
Then we hold on against the tide
Despite challenges, we continue to resist
"Another storm you're left to fight alone
A message emphasizing facing challenges alone
Remember son, you're reaping what you've sown
A reminder of consequences and accountability
Under the waves we're sinking like a stone
Using sinking metaphorically for facing difficulties
I'm sorry son, you're reaping what you've sown"
Regret and acknowledgment of consequences
You're reaping what you've sown
Reiterating the idea of facing consequences
We're slowly losing ground
Our situation is gradually deteriorating
And hope is harder to maintain
Hope is becoming harder to sustain
We know the prayers we prayed
Acknowledging prayers that seem unanswered
Feel lost like tears in the rain
Feeling lost and helpless like tears in the rain
The water is pulling down
The force of adversity is pulling us down
It's eclipsing the sun
Darkness is overwhelming the light
The ending that we knew would come
An anticipated ending has now commenced
Has finally begun
The inevitable has started to unfold
It's finally begun
The process has begun
I'm reaping what you've sown
A sense of consequences being faced
You're reaping what you've sown
Reiteration of facing consequences
This sorrow weighs down on my shoulders
A heavy burden of sadness and regret is felt
This fear is getting harder to hide
Fear is becoming increasingly difficult to conceal
You'll leave me alone in this darkness
The anticipation of being left alone in darkness
Left to hold out
Left to endure and resist
Against the tide
Continuing to face challenges against all odds
