Lyrics
What if you lived as you obeyed
Contemplating the idea of living in accordance with one's obedience.
What if the story of your trial
Considering the narrative of personal challenges and tribulations.
Was ‘bout a man
Introducing a character who faced significant losses but discovered resilience.
Who lost it all yet found the fire
Despite losing everything, the person found inner strength and determination.
What if you had the chance to see
Imagining the opportunity to witness one's life decisions as a spectator.
Your own decisions on a screen
Envisioning personal choices displayed on a screen.
And you were cast the reenactment of the younger
Acting in a reenactment, portraying a younger version of oneself.
I hold the world upon my shoulders
Expressing a sense of responsibility for the world and its challenges.
As reality’s sinking in
Acknowledging the harsh reality and its impact.
HIT HIT ME, Hitting me hard
Emphasizing the impact of external forces, hitting the person hard.
HIT HIT ME. Hitting me harder
Highlighting the increasing intensity of external challenges.
HIT HIT ME, You will be fine
Assuring that despite hardships, there will be recovery and well-being.
The pleasure is mine
Stating that finding pleasure in overcoming challenges is a personal reward.
HIT HIT ME, Hitting me hard
Reiterating the impact of external challenges, hitting the person hard.
HIT HIT ME, Hitting me harder
Continuing to emphasize the escalating intensity of external difficulties.
You will be fine
Reassuring that despite challenges, things will improve.
The pleasure is mine
Reiterating the personal satisfaction derived from overcoming obstacles.
And as the tape continues on
Referring to the progression of time, suggesting a reflective phase.
Towards the end you see it’s charm
Discovering the charm in life, even with its inevitable scars.
To live a life without it’s scars
Encouraging acceptance of life's challenges and imperfections.
Don’t be afraid
Urging not to fear the difficulties encountered in life.
You sometimes looked just like a fool
Acknowledging moments of looking foolish, but questioning the value of strict adherence to rules.
But what‘s the fun to live by rules
Highlighting the lack of excitement in living a strictly rule-bound life.
I guess you realized you‘re turning out ok
Suggesting the realization that deviating from norms can lead to personal growth.
I see myself yet I am older
Observing oneself in a state of aging but yielding to the unfolding future.
Letting the future win
Acknowledging the acceptance of the future's influence.
I hold the world upon my shoulders
Reiterating the burden of responsibility for the world amid the realization of reality.
As reality’s sinking in
Acknowledging the weight of reality settling in.
