Rock Bottom
Rising from Rock Bottom: Embracing Imperfections
Lyrics
I stay on an island
I feel isolated and stranded.
Where my ship has wrecked
I've faced a major failure or setback.
Passerby's wave
People passing by acknowledge my struggle.
But I am content
Despite challenges, I find peace and acceptance.
Don't need to be saved
I don't need assistance or rescue.
I'm here then I'm gone
My presence is fleeting.
The only one who can help me
I'm the only one who can help myself.
Is the one singing this song
The singer of this song is my source of guidance.
I let the waves take me over
I surrender to the challenges around me.
Stopped fighting what was coming
I stopped resisting the inevitable.
And somehow I didn't drown
Despite challenges, I managed to survive.
If you're not going where you have to
If you resist your path, life will force you down.
The universe will drag you
The universe compels you to face reality.
Until you hit the ground
You'll keep facing challenges until you hit rock bottom.
soak up the sun
Reflecting on positive moments.
Wondering if I should run
Considering whether to escape or confront failure.
Or bask in the failure
Contemplating and learning from past mistakes.
And learn from what I've done
Responsibility is burdensome, and mistakes teach.
Responsibility is a heavy thing to bare
Weighed down by responsibility.
So we play the blame game
Blaming others for our mistakes.
And try to validate our errors
Seeking justification for our errors.
When did it become so wrong
When did admitting fault become taboo?
To just say I was wrong
Fearful of bruising our egos by admitting mistakes.
Afraid to let our egos down
Afraid to acknowledge personal faults.
Stop running from the storm
Stop avoiding difficulties and face them.
And just let the rain pour
Accept challenges and let emotions flow.
I swear you'll live to tell the town
By facing challenges, you'll have a story to tell.
Sometimes you gotta come in last
Occasionally, coming last teaches valuable lessons.
To figure out how to be best
Understanding how to be the best through setbacks.
Gotta respect where you're at
Respect your current situation to plan for the future.
To know where you should go next
Recognize and learn from your current position.
Sometimes you gotta come in last
Reiteration of the lesson that coming last teaches.
To figure out how to be best
Learning from setbacks is crucial for improvement.
Gotta respect where you're at
Understanding your current state is essential for progress.
