My Sword
My Sword's Triumph: Embracing Struggles and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
There is blood up on my blade
Refers to blood on the singer's sword, possibly indicating past conflict or violence.
Strike me down and all my faith
The singer's faith is tied to their existence; being struck down would challenge their beliefs.
Only I know my true place
The singer alone understands their true purpose or identity.
So what about you
Challenges the listener's understanding of their own purpose or identity.
I stay busy and chill
Keeps occupied to avoid confronting deep emotions or pain.
Just so I don't have to feel
Suppresses emotions to avoid feeling them.
Time to time I'll take to heal
Occasionally takes time to heal from emotional wounds.
Within these wounds
Suggests ongoing emotional pain or scars.
I'll go on with caution and force
Intends to continue cautiously but with determination.
To live for less and die for more
Willing to live with less but willing to fight fiercely for greater ideals.
And if I ever lose to myself
Facing inner struggles; if defeated by their own demons, prefers self-destruction.
Then I'd rather die from My Sword
Preferably chooses death through their own actions (symbolized by the sword) rather than inner defeat.
Now I'm no stranger to
Experienced with adapting to different situations or cultures, yet societal norms limit their actions.
Appropriations and yet culture forbids
Feeling that their potential or unused abilities could harm themselves.
These idle hands could cut me through
Fear of intimacy or connection with others due to potential harm.
I fear your hand in mine
Engaged in a struggle or conflict, using defense and attack.
As I parry, swing, and fly
Feeling torn between moral choices, experiencing internal conflict.
Cut in half from wrong and right
Expresses readiness to share a personal story or message through music.
I'll sing you a tune
Intent to hold onto personal knowledge or values.
I'll hold onto all that I know of
Relies on inner guidance or principles for stability.
A steady compass within my lobe
Desires freedom and encourages others to explore and experience life fully.
So if the bleeding's slowing down for me
Suggests a decrease in emotional pain or suffering.
Go and feel all you must, to be free
Encourages others to embrace their emotions and experiences for personal growth.
Full of precious lives
Acknowledges the importance of lives and promises to exert effort.
Swore to push and strive
Committed to pushing forward despite challenges.
This is in my drive
Refers to personal motivation or determination.
Hone it to your truest high
Urges others to discover their truest potential or strengths.
See me as I am
Desires to be seen and accepted as they are without judgment.
I won't be no lesser
Firm on not settling for less or being diminished.
I'll go on
Resolute in continuing despite difficulties.
I won't let you down
Commits to not disappointing or failing others.
See me as I am
Wants to display improvement or a better version of themselves.
I will show you better
Determined to persist and show progress.
I'll go on
Resolute in not succumbing to self-doubt or failure.
I can't let me down
Will not allow themselves to fail or be disappointed.
