Defeated
Resisting Defeat: Unveiling the Struggle Within
Lyrics
Here I've been going over reasons
Reflecting on various reasons or circumstances
And you keep looking over my shoulder
Feeling observed or monitored by someone
Hold me now to these promises I haven't made
Asking to be held accountable for unfulfilled promises
Time will tell just how much you'll act on what
Time will reveal the sincerity behind spoken words
You've said
Awaiting action corresponding to spoken commitments
Either way, my mind's been made up for me
Feeling that a decision has been made involuntarily
Either way, it's wearing me thin because
Emphasizing the emotional toll of the situation
Even when, resisting instinctively
Resisting actions based on instinct
Even then, I find myself broken and I'm kneeling
Despite resistance, experiencing emotional distress
Defeated
Expressing a state of being overcome or conquered
I've been exhausted for too long
Feeling tired and drained for an extended period
Wide open, so listen
Open and receptive, urging someone to listen
When you keep charging
Encountering challenges persistently
This blood has a beat that's running, it's running out
Describing blood as a metaphor for life and energy
My blood has a beat that's running, it's running out
Highlighting the diminishing vitality in oneself
Our blood has a beat that's running out
Extending the metaphor to a collective shared experience
Either way, we're treating this carelessly
Approaching a situation without due care or consideration
Either way, it's wearing me thin because
Reiterating the emotional toll of the situation
Even when, resisting instinctively
Continuing to resist actions based on instinct
Even then, I find myself broken and I'm kneeling
Despite resistance, experiencing ongoing emotional distress
Defeated
Reiterating a sense of being overcome or conquered
I'm too exhausted for the long haul
Expressing extreme fatigue for an extended journey
And I'm kneeling defeated
Acknowledging defeat and submission
