Fractions
Survival in Fractions: Embracing Darkness, Defying Odds
Lyrics
What should I do when the odds get stacked up?
Contemplating what to do when faced with challenging odds.
Stand down or get backed up
Decide to step back or face opposition.
Hold back or let loose
Choose between restraint or letting go.
Not responsible if you act up
Not responsible if others misbehave when you take action.
Fall down, get back up
Facing setbacks but resilient, rising again.
Fighting for survival
Fighting fiercely to survive.
If you're gone for my struggle
If you're absent during my struggles, don't expect to be present for my success.
Then you'll be gone for my arrival
If you're not there for the difficult times, don't be there for the triumphant moments.
If you're going to take sides
Choose sides carefully in conflicts.
Take care not to cross mine
Be cautious not to oppose or obstruct my path.
And you can say you knew me
You can claim familiarity with me only in my past life.
In my old life
Emphasizing a commitment to never be surpassed or defeated.
Cause I will never be outdone
Asserting an unyielding attitude and determination.
And you can never change the outcome
Belief that the ultimate outcome cannot be altered.
I watch it burn and get lost in the ashes
Observing destruction and being immersed in the aftermath.
Lose it all as we drift into fractions
Losing everything as life falls apart into fragments.
I'm a shadow, you're a light when the sun sets
Metaphorical contrast between darkness and light in a relationship.
If you can't meet me in the darkness
If you can't support during difficult times, stay away.
Then don't
Direct advice to avoid if unable to handle challenges together.
The world starts to shake
Symbolizing a tumultuous world on the brink of collapse.
It's unraveling
Describing the disintegration of the world.
I've been waiting
Expressing patience amid the chaos.
You've been taking everything
Another's continuous taking, possibly symbolic of a relationship strain.
I'd rather be dead
Expressing a preference for non-existence over being untrue to oneself.
Dead to the world
Choosing authenticity over a false existence in the world.
Than something I'm not
Prefer being true to oneself even if it means being isolated.
I'm all I've got
Self-reliance and acceptance of oneself.
Come alive when the light hits
Thriving when exposed to positive influences.
If you can't meet me in the darkness
Reiterating the importance of support during challenging times.
Then don't
Restating the advice to stay away if unable to confront difficulties together.
