Embracing the Battle: Cities Never Sleep's Anthem of Resilience
Lyrics
I've gotta say something
I feel compelled to express something
And get this off my chest
I need to share my feelings
I'm scared as hell to be a no one
I am afraid of being insignificant
Can't give up without a fight
I won't give up easily
Everyday I try to get so far
Every day I strive to achieve success
Taking shots from the world from a loaded gun
Facing challenges from the world, analogous to facing a loaded gun
I've never felt so fucking beaten down
I've never felt so defeated
But we'll give em hell kids
We will defy expectations, especially as young individuals
Aim high, swing low, swing hard
Set ambitious goals, endure difficulties, and fight fiercely
Let's make some battle scars
Let's bear the marks of our struggles
Show em what it's like to be black and blue
Show them the harsh reality of being battered and bruised
Mixing blood and sweat to repair your wounds
Using effort and sacrifice to heal wounds
I feel more alive right now when I'm laying one foot in the grave
I feel more alive when facing imminent danger
It sears and it spreads
Pain is intense and spreads
In its violence, it's cathartic
The pain serves as a therapeutic release
Lie to my face like it's an art form
People deceive me shamelessly
Oh god, the innocent I've ripped apart to pay my dues
I've harmed the innocent to pay my dues
I've fucked the world that fucked me too
I've retaliated against a world that wronged me
It's too sweet
The revenge is satisfying
Aim high, swing low, swing hard
Repeat of line 10
Let's make some battle scars
Repeat of line 11
Show em what it's like to be black and blue
Repeat of line 12
Mixing blood and sweat to repair your wounds
Repeat of line 13
I feel more alive right now when I'm laying one foot in the grave
Repeat of line 14
Aim high, swing low, swing hard
Repeat of line 10
Let's make some battle scars
Repeat of line 11
Show em what it takes to be black and blue
Repeat of line 12
Mixing blood and sweat to repair your wounds
Repeat of line 13
I feel more alive right now when I'm laying one foot in the grave
Repeat of line 14
We've come too far to turn back now
We've made significant progress, and there's no turning back
We've come too far to turn back now
Reiteration of the idea that progress is irreversible
We've come too far to turn back now
-We've come too far to turn back now
-We have the heart of a champion
We possess the spirit and determination of a champion
Maybe someday we'll get better
There is hope that things will improve in the future
