Lyrics
I may not have been
I may not have excelled in my endeavors.
the best at all I've done.
I may not have been the best at everything I've attempted.
I may never have known when to stop
I may not have known when to stop or when to flee.
or when to run.
There is uncertainty in my decision-making.
I might be broken,
I may be emotionally damaged or incomplete.
put together like a clock.
I may be structured like a clock, possibly indicating precision or order.
I might be holding
I might be in control of a situation.
half a key stuck in its lock.
There's a partial solution or understanding that is not fully accessible.
But this one thing I'll get right,
Despite my shortcomings, I am determined to succeed in this one aspect.
this one thing I'll get right,
Reiteration of the commitment to getting one specific thing right.
you just hold on tight
Encouragement to hold on tight during the pursuit of this goal.
'cause this one thing I'll get right.
Emphasizing the determination to succeed in this particular endeavor.
I'll stay
Expressing a commitment to stay and endure.
I'll stay
Repetition of the commitment to stay.
and I will now find a way.
Declaration of the intent to find a solution or path forward.
I am the fire that
Describing oneself as the force that others use to overcome challenges.
they burn on their wooden ships,
Indicating a temporary existence, not lasting forever.
I won't be forever,
Seizing opportunities in life as they present themselves.
but I grab life when it slips.
Despite heaviness, there is an active engagement with life's fleeting moments.
I am the heaviest rock
Claiming to be a substantial burden or challenge.
you ever lifted up.
Comparing oneself to the vastness and complexity of the Milky Way.
I am the Milky Way,
Contrast between grandiosity and being confined to a small space.
but I live here in this cup.
But this one thing I'll get right,
Reiteration of the determination to get one specific thing right.
this one thing I'll get right,
Emphasizing the commitment to success in a particular pursuit.
you just hold on tight
Encouragement to hold on tightly during the pursuit of this goal.
'cause this one thing I'll get right.
Restating the determination to succeed in this specific endeavor.
I'll stay
Expressing a commitment to stay and endure challenges.
I'll stay
Repetition of the commitment to stay.
and I will now find a way.
Declaration of the intent to find a solution or path forward.
