Strong Enough to Fail
Embracing Failure: A Journey of Strength and Resilience
Lyrics
My time is short
Expressing a sense of limited time available.
I used to be so terrified of missing anything
Formerly afraid of missing out on experiences.
But my time is short
Reiteration of the limited time perspective.
I was scared of failure
Used to fear failure.
Scared to be too old to keep up, too weak to get up and go on
Fear of aging and physical decline, hindering progress.
I'm letting go
Letting go of fears or inhibitions.
Took some time, but now i know that i am strong enough to fail
Realization of inner strength, being resilient in facing failure.
Been skating 20 years and still can't kickflip for the life of me
Struggling with a specific skill (kickflip) despite long-term effort.
I never know the words to say
Difficulty expressing oneself verbally.
I keep wondering if my thoughts are valid
Doubting the validity of one's thoughts.
My opinions, relevant
Questioning the relevance of personal opinions.
Who gives a shit what goes though my head?
Dismissive attitude towards others' opinions of their thoughts.
I'm letting go
Continued release of fears or inhibitions.
Took some time, but now i know that i am strong enough to fail
Confirmation of inner strength in facing failure.
And i'm 35
Reflecting on being 35 years old.
Bruised and battered but still alive
Physically worn but resilient and alive.
And i'm strong enough to fail
Reaffirmation of strength in facing failure.
And even if i never land a thing
Acceptance of potential failure in achieving goals.
And if no one gives a shit
Acknowledging the possibility of indifference from others.
If i never go and try it out, then how will i ever know?
Emphasizing the importance of trying despite potential failure.
I can't let it go behind me
Unwillingness to leave experiences or opportunities in the past.
And i'm not afraid to say
Confidently admitting enjoyment in the current life phase.
That i'm having the time of my life
Expressing a positive outlook on the present.
