When You're Not Winning
Life's Symphony: Navigating Challenges and Resilience
Lyrics
I'm gonna write you a song, I'm gonna write you a symphony
I intend to create a musical expression for you, either a song or a symphony.
And if they tell me I'm wrong I'll say
If others criticize or disagree with me, I will assert that they are biased against me.
"They've all got it in for me"
Expressing a sense of persecution or conspiracy against oneself.
I say, "I knew from the start, right from the beginning"
I had a premonition or understanding from the very beginning.
You see, life is hard when you're not winning
Life becomes challenging when one is not experiencing success or winning.
I'm gonna build you a yacht, I'm gonna sail it across the sea
I plan to build a yacht and navigate it across the sea for you.
And if it starts to go wrong, I'll get someone to rescue me
If things go awry, I will seek help to overcome the challenges.
And if nobody comes, then I'll start swimming
If no one comes to help, I'll take matters into my own hands, even if it means swimming.
You see, life is hard when you're not winning
Life is difficult when facing challenges and not achieving success.
When you're not winning, even the water's dry
During times of non-success, everything seems arduous or impossible.
When you're not winning, you feel your hands are tied behind your back again
Not winning creates a feeling of helplessness, as if one's abilities are restricted.
Just like last time
Recalling a similar situation from the past when success was elusive.
When you're not winning, even the water's dry
Reiteration of the idea that in times of failure, even basic resources seem scarce.
When you're not winning, you feel your hands are tied behind your back again
Feeling constrained and unable to act during periods of non-success.
Just like last time
Reflecting on a previous experience of being limited or restrained.
I'm gonna write you a song, I'm gonna write you a symphony
Reiterating the intention to create a musical expression for the listener.
And if they tell me I'm wrong I'll say
Defending oneself against criticism by attributing it to bias or ill will.
"They've all got it in for me"
Reiterating a sense of being targeted or unfairly treated.
I say, "I knew from the start, right from the beginning"
Reaffirming the understanding or intuition about a situation from the beginning.
You see, life is hard when you're not winning
Emphasizing the difficulty of life when not achieving success.
When you're not winning, even the water's dry
Repeating the notion that in times of failure, basic resources seem scarce.
When you're not winning, you feel your hands are tied behind your back again
Reiterating the sense of constraint and limitation during non-successful periods.
Just like last time
Recalling a previous instance of feeling restricted or powerless.
Just like last time
Echoing the idea of a situation similar to a past experience of non-success.
Just like last time
Repetition of the concept that the current situation resembles a previous instance of failure.
