Triumph Beyond Rivalry: Unmasking the True Cost of Success
Lyrics
It seems that all successful things and all
Success may bring envy, questioning its true worth.
The envy that they bring might not be
Highlighting the negative aspects of envy associated with success.
Worth it. Being shot down every minute
Facing constant criticism despite efforts and time invested.
For the effort you put in and all the time
Recognition of the time and effort expended in the face of criticism.
That you've spent. The key to success is
Key to success lies in the belief that you are right.
The faith in knowing you're right.
Emphasizing the importance of faith in one's convictions.
Memories of better days is what you're
Nostalgia for better times when critics were supportive.
Holding on to, when the critics loved you.
Holding onto memories of past acclaim from critics.
Competition has it's way of bringing you
Competition can bring you down.
Down.
Stressing the negative impact of competition.
Always being number one, robs the music
Being constantly number one can rob the joy from music.
Of its fun. Ego trips get in the way of the
Ego trips hinder the achievement of set goals.
Goals we've set. Now the audience is
Audience divided, possibly due to internal conflicts.
Split. We've worked too hard to watch it
Expressing frustration at watching hard work fade away.
ALL FADE AWAY.
An emphatic statement about the fading of achievements.
Memories of better days is what you're
Recalling better days when critics were supportive.
Holding on to, when the critics loved you.
Reiteration of holding onto memories for comfort.
Competition has it's way of making you
Competition has a way of causing frustration and anger.
Mad. Why can't you be glad...for me.
Expressing a desire for support instead of jealousy.
Well I know what competition means and
Understanding the implications and feelings associated with competition.
The feelings that it brings. Friends that
Highlighting the impact on friendships when success is prioritized.
Want to be on top, you're on the list of
Friends willing to drop you when they aim for the top.
Friends to drop. Success is what I want
Desire for success, but not at the expense of others.
To feel, at your expense it isn't real, it's
Success at the expense of others is not genuine; it's jealousy.
Jealousy...and jealousy's not true. No it's
Jealousy is not a true measure of success.
Not true...at your expense. In
Reiteration that jealousy is not true success.
Competition with you.
Engaging in competition with others, possibly reluctantly.
