You Against The World
Navigating Life's Absurdity: Clayton John Pearson's Reflections
Lyrics
So you're doing some reflecting on the absurdity of life
Contemplating the nonsensical aspects of life
Second guessing everything you've learned along the way
Doubting the knowledge gained through experiences
With many ill-timed misadventures cutting you like a knife
Experiencing unfortunate events that cause emotional pain
You're still no closer to having any peace today
Despite challenges, still unable to find inner peace
And as this life takes its toll on you
Life's difficulties taking a toll without clear reasons
With no explanation of why
Feeling a lack of understanding or justification for life's hardships
It's like you against the world every single time
Sensing constant opposition or struggle against the world
An' you can't remember what you ever really did for fun no
Unable to recall enjoyable activities from the past
It's like you against the world where happiness is the crime
Perceiving happiness as something forbidden or punishable
You don't have to win the war face the battles as they come yeah heh
Encouragement to face challenges without expecting to win every battle
You feel like you're on a treadmill going nowhere every day
Feeling stuck in a routine without progress
Yet you never bemoan the hand you were dealt
Not complaining about the circumstances
But it's getting even harder now to push the blues away
Struggling more to overcome sadness or depression
The hopelessness is stronger than you've ever felt
Feeling an overwhelming sense of hopelessness
In your darkest moments alone there at night
Experiencing the lowest points alone
With only the will to survive
Relying solely on the will to survive during tough times
It's like you against the world every single time
Continued sense of fighting against the world
An' you can't remember what you ever really did for fun no
Unable to remember enjoyable pastimes
It's like you against the world where happiness is the crime
Viewing happiness as something condemned
You don't have to win the war face the battles as they come yeah
Advice to face challenges without aiming to win every battle
And as this life takes its toll on you
Life's toll without clear reasoning continues
With no explanation of why
Feeling a lack of understanding or justification for life's hardships
It's like you against the world every single time
Sensing ongoing struggle against the world
An' you can't remember what you ever really did for fun
Memory loss of past enjoyable experiences
It's like you against the world where happiness is the crime
Seeing happiness as a forbidden or punishable act
You don't have to win the war face the battles as they come yeah
Encouragement to face challenges without expecting victory each time
It's like you against the world every single time
Continued sense of fighting against the world
An' you can't remember what you ever really did for fun no
Memory loss of past enjoyable activities
It's like you against the world where happiness is the crime
Viewing happiness as something condemned
You don't have to win the war face the battles as they come
Advice to face challenges without expecting constant victories
You don't have to win the war face the battles as they come yeah heh
Reiterating the advice to face challenges as they come
