Against the Grain
Defying Judgment: Unveiling the Depths of 'Against the Grain'
Lyrics
Do you know me?
Questioning if the listener knows the speaker
Tell me what you believe
Requesting the listener to express their beliefs about the speaker
How dare you judge me
Expressing indignation at being judged
I am more than what you see
Asserting that the speaker's true identity goes beyond appearances
I made this life
Claiming responsibility for constructing one's own life
And everyone a friend
Stating that everyone was considered a friend
Still you turned on me
Feeling betrayed as friends turned against the speaker
Shown true colors
Highlighting the revelation of true character by others
You never listen
Accusing the listener of not paying attention
You hear the sound
Noting that the listener hears the sound but doesn't truly listen
You never listen
Reiterating the claim that the listener fails to listen
And fuck the words
Expressing disregard for spoken words
Never ending every things become a trend
Describing a sense of repetition in life's experiences
I hope you had your fill
Suggesting that the listener has had their share of experiences
'Cause this is where the bleeding ends
Declaring that the pain or hardship is coming to an end
Slowly dying
Expressing a feeling of gradual decline or deterioration
Were worked down to the bone
Portraying a sense of exhaustion and weariness
Go against the grain
Encouraging resistance to conformity or societal norms
Or die alone
Emphasizing the choice between going against the grain or facing solitude
I wont change for you
Declaring a refusal to change for others
'Cause you will never change
Asserting that the listener will not change
I live my life everyday
Stating the speaker's commitment to living authentically every day
You just fail and fade away
Contrasting the speaker's perseverance with the listener's failure and fading away
Dare you judge
Challenging the listener's right to judge
Turn on me
Expressing disappointment in the listener turning against the speaker
You just fail
Reiterating the idea that the listener fails and fades away
Fade away
Emphasizing the gradual disappearance or decline of the listener
