Strive
Embracing Authenticity: Struggle for Individuality
Lyrics
don't wanna feel, don't wanna get
Feeling a reluctance, avoiding emotional experiences
dragged down by monotony and
Not willing to be weighed down by a dull and repetitive existence
i'd rather feel a pain that's real
Preferring genuine pain over hiding behind a monotonous routine
than hide behind a routine and
Choosing authenticity over concealing oneself in a set pattern
i've gotta be the real me
Striving to be one's true self despite challenges
struggling for answers to questions
Engaging in a struggle for answers to life's perplexing questions
that plague me, i've gotta be
Asserting the need to be oneself amidst internal conflicts
the only thing that i can depend on
Relying on the self as the only dependable entity
that anthem in my head, it makes me want it all
The internal anthem driving a desire for completeness and success
that anthem in my head, it makes me keep on fighting
The internal anthem motivating perseverance and resilience
the things i see that bother me
Observing and reacting to disturbing aspects in the surroundings
can only make me stronger
Believing that challenges contribute to personal strength
i have to go down my own road
Determined to follow a unique path despite its potential length
even if the path takes longer
Embracing the struggle even if it takes a longer route
fighting to see and not believe
Fighting to perceive reality without blindly accepting it
that everybody must get older
Acknowledging the inevitability of aging and confronting it
i'm hanging on, i'll sing my song
Enduring challenges and expressing oneself through music
won't let my heart grow colder
Preserving warmth and emotion in the face of difficulties
they know everything
Observing the world's knowledge holders and their conformity
gave up their free thinking
Criticizing those who surrender independent thought for conformity
because they've seen it all
Reflecting on individuals who have become jaded due to experience
next stop is at the mall
Sarcastically pointing to consumerism as the next destination
