Slugger
Eternal Struggle: Unveiling Life's Choices in 'Slugger' by Death Lens
Lyrics
Play dead, deep shrills
Feigning death, feeling intense high-pitched sounds
My coffin, add some wheels
Metaphorically preparing for death, adapting to inevitable fate
I'm gone, so long
Departing, leaving behind
Last song, Head over Heels
Final expression, turning upside down emotionally
Running around in my brain, rent free
Constant thoughts circling freely in the mind
Former self in a fight with the newer me
Conflict between past and present self
Yeah, it's head to head, it's toe to toe
Direct confrontation and struggle
I can't reveal what the future holds
Uncertainty about the future, keeping it hidden
But I always say it's better late than never
Belief in the value of tardiness over never attempting
Soul meets evil before it gets better
Inner turmoil precedes personal improvement
Death wants you
Death seeks
Defines you
Death delineates
Creates you
Death shapes
Then she'll hunt you
Death pursues
She'll make you weak or stronger
Death's influence on making one weaker or stronger
She'll give the option to feel
Granting the choice to experience emotions
Never to heal
Emphasizing perpetual emotional wounds
Die young or I die old
Preference for an early or late demise
It's all the same to me
Indifference toward the timing of death
We'll live each day the same
Existing in a routine, monotonous manner
Endlessly
Living without conclusion
Die young or I die old
Reiteration of preference for early or late death
It's what you said to me
Reflecting back what was previously mentioned
We're living endlessly
Perpetual existence without cessation
How long till I have to go
Eagerly waiting for the time of departure
How long till I meet my foe
Anticipation of encountering an adversary or death itself
My time is moving slow
Perception of time moving sluggishly
Each day's worth the weight in gold
Valuing each day immensely
Fearing each day is no way to live
Fear dominating life's experiences
I can't hold a grudge, I'll learn to forgive
Will to forgive and let go of resentment
And nothing that's given is set in stone
Nothing guaranteed, everything subject to change
I'm tryna figure out where Ima go
Seeking direction for the future
And I'll learn to be patient, I'll learn to be kind
Learning patience and kindness
You reap what you sow until the end of time
Consequences align with actions for eternity
And if you lose fear, you gain your whole life
Freedom from fear leads to a fulfilled life
It ends here, so I STOP
Decisive end to something, halting progression
Die young or I die old
Preference reiterated for early or late death
It's what you said to me
Reiteration of previous statement
We'll live each day the same
Continuation of routine existence
Endlessly
Perpetual, unending existence
Die young or I die old
Reiteration of preference for early or late death
It's what you said to me
Repetition of prior line
We're living endlessly
Continued perpetual existence without cessation
