Still I'm Glad
Embracing Misery: Hardcore Superstar's Reflection on Youth and Pride
Lyrics
I'm on the floor for most of my time
I spend most of my time feeling down and defeated.
Feeling so bad, it's in my mind
I'm experiencing emotional pain and it's affecting my thoughts.
Teens do lock good swinging by
Young people look attractive and carefree as they pass by.
If I'm grooving old I'll take my time
If I age, I'll do it slowly and at my own pace.
My case is safe, it's almost blind
I feel secure but somewhat unaware of certain things.
Blowing in the wind, blowing in my mind
There's a sense of confusion or chaos in my thoughts.
I got style, I got my pride
I have a sense of personal fashion and dignity.
Misery's surfing on my side
Sadness and unhappiness seem to accompany me.
Still I'm glad, I'm glad, for the youth that I had
Despite everything, I'm still appreciative of the joy and freedom I experienced in my youth.
Way more sensible, say no more, cradle's laying on the floor
I've become more mature and sensible, without the need for further explanation; childhood innocence seems discarded.
I push you down to the floor
I'm exerting control over someone, warning them to stay down or face consequences.
Relax down there or I'll give you some more
Threatening to cause more harm if the person doesn't comply.
Greatest misery in the history of time
Expressing that the most significant unhappiness in history exists within me.
If I'm growing old I'll take what's mine
If I age, I'll claim what's rightfully mine.
My act is safe when I start to pretend
When I pretend, I feel secure, hiding my true feelings.
I hate myself, hero to the end
I strongly dislike myself and see myself as heroic but doomed.
I got style, I got my pride
Similar to line 8, a repetition indicating a sense of personal style and dignity.
Misery's surfing on my side
Continuing from line 9, implying that sadness is on my side or accompanies me.
