Once Or Twice
Facing Shadows: Corey Kent's Journey Through Life's Battles
Lyrics
Truth is I don't know just how I ended up here
Expressing uncertainty about how the speaker arrived at their current situation.
If one thing's for certain, it's the future is unclear
Acknowledging the uncertainty of the future.
This is where someone gets hurt, the point of no return
Highlighting a critical moment where someone is about to get hurt, reaching a point of no return.
Civil war, yeah I've been here before once or twice
Referencing past experiences with conflict, comparing it to a civil war, suggesting familiarity with such situations.
I've never looked for trouble
Claiming not to actively seek trouble despite encountering it throughout life.
But trouble's found me all of my life
Reflecting on a history of trouble finding the speaker.
And there's a time to walk away
Recognizing the importance of knowing when to walk away from a situation.
And there's a time to hold your ground and fight
Acknowledging the necessity of standing firm and fighting at times.
I've never seen the face of God
Admitting a lack of direct experience or understanding of the divine.
But I've stared down the devil once or twice
Claiming to have confronted adversity or evil on more than one occasion.
They take all you got to give
Highlighting the tendency of others to take everything from the speaker.
And then they'll take your freedom
Emphasizing the loss of freedom due to external forces.
Well, there's right and there's wrong
Exploring the binary nature of right and wrong with little gray area.
And there's not much in between, no
Asserting the lack of middle ground between right and wrong.
I've never looked for trouble
Reiterating the theme of trouble finding the speaker despite their avoidance.
But trouble's found me all of my life
Affirming the ongoing presence of trouble in the speaker's life.
And there's a time to walk away
Reiterating the importance of knowing when to walk away from challenges.
And there's a time to hold your ground and fight
Reinforcing the idea of standing firm and fighting when necessary.
I've never seen the face of God
Repeating the lack of personal experience with seeing the face of God.
But I've stared down the devil once or twice
Reiterating the confrontation with adversity or evil in the speaker's past.
I've never looked for trouble
Emphasizing the historical pattern of trouble finding the speaker.
But trouble's found me all of my life
Reaffirming the continuous presence of trouble in the speaker's life.
And there's a time to walk away
Restating the importance of knowing when to walk away from challenges.
And there's a time to hold your ground and fight
Reemphasizing the idea of standing firm and fighting when necessary.
I've never seen the face of God
Repeating the lack of personal experience with seeing the face of God.
But I've stared down the devil once or twice
Reiterating the confrontation with adversity or evil in the speaker's past.
I've never seen the face of God
Repeating the lack of personal experience with seeing the face of God for emphasis.
But I've stared down the devil once or twice
Reiterating the confrontation with adversity or evil in the speaker's past for emphasis.
I've never seen the face of God
Repeating the lack of personal experience with seeing the face of God for emphasis.
But I've stared down the devil
