Giants
Embracing Life's Giants: Drake White's Anthem of Courage
Lyrics
For some it's a cigarette
Various people find solace or coping mechanisms in different vices or habits.
For some it's a blackjack bet
Some individuals seek relief or excitement through gambling, like playing blackjack.
For some it's playing Russian roulette
Metaphorically, some people take risks that endanger their lives, comparing it to playing Russian roulette, a lethal game involving chance.
With the bottle
Engaging in drinking to cope or escape.
For some it's a broken heart
Dealing with emotional pain from a failed relationship or heartbreak.
Pink slip in a foreclosed yard
Facing financial struggle and loss symbolized by losing property through foreclosure.
Eighteen in a goodbye car
Leaving at a young age, possibly under difficult circumstances.
Waving to her father
A gesture of farewell, possibly in a challenging or emotional situation.
Whoa-whoa we all, we all, we all
An anthem-like expression acknowledging a shared experience or struggle.
We all got giants
We all face formidable challenges in life.
We all feel like a David facing Goliath sometimes
Comparing oneself to David from the biblical story, facing overwhelming adversaries.
Well, they make us feel so small, back us against the wall
Challenges make individuals feel insignificant and trapped.
But they don't know they're turning underdogs to lions
The challenges unknowingly transform individuals from weak to strong.
So bring on those giants
Welcoming or confronting those significant challenges in life.
For some it's a locker room
Diverse settings where people encounter struggles or conflicts.
Makeup on a bourbon bruise
Trying to cover or hide the effects of personal struggles with makeup.
For some it's a Sunday pew
Seeking solace or guidance through religious practice or faith.
Talking to Jesus
Seeking spiritual guidance or solace in times of need.
For some it's the sound of goodbye
A moment where life-changing news is discovered, possibly unexpected pregnancy.
A single seeing two pink lines
Some individuals turn to substance use to cope with life's challenges.
Some people gotta stay high
Fear or reluctance to engage in activities that involve risk or uncertainty.
And some are scared of flying
Fearful of taking risks or stepping out of comfort zones.
Scared of trying, scared of dying
Fearful of failure or the consequences of taking chances.
We all got giants
A recurring acknowledgment of everyone facing substantial challenges.
We all feel like a David facing Goliath sometimes
Continuing the comparison to David facing Goliath, emphasizing shared struggles.
Well, they make us feel so small, back us against the wall
Feeling belittled and constrained by challenges.
But they don't know they're turning underdogs to lions
Unaware that challenges empower individuals to become stronger.
So bring on those giants
Readiness or willingness to confront significant challenges.
Well, we all, we all, we all got them skeletons in the closet (ooh)
Recognizing hidden or unresolved personal issues from the past.
We all, we all, we all got them mountains worth climbin' (ooh)
Acknowledging the presence of daunting obstacles in life.
They're testing our faith in defiance (ooh)
Challenges that test faith and resilience.
We all got giants
Reiterating the commonality of facing substantial life challenges.
We all feel like a David facing Goliath sometimes
Re-emphasizing the analogy of David facing Goliath.
Well, they make us feel so small, back us against the wall
Feeling overwhelmed and trapped by challenges.
But they don't know they're turning underdogs to lions
Unaware that challenges can transform underdogs into powerful forces.
So bring on those giants (bring on, bring on the giants, yeah)
Encouraging the readiness to confront significant challenges.
Bring on those giants (bring on, bring on the giants, yeah)
An enthusiastic call to face or confront those significant challenges.
For some it's a cigarette
Repetition of different coping mechanisms or vices individuals use in challenging times.
For some it's a blackjack bet
Reiterating seeking excitement or relief through gambling.
For some it's playing Russian roulette
Continuing the metaphor of risking one's life with destructive habits.
With the bottle
Using alcohol to cope or escape from life's difficulties.
For some it's a broken heart
Dealing with the pain and aftermath of a failed relationship or heartbreak.
Pink slip in a foreclosed yard
Suffering from significant financial loss or hardship, losing a property.
Eighteen in a goodbye car
A tragic situation where a young person says goodbye under emotionally challenging circumstances.
Waving to her father
An emotional gesture of
