Decisions
Embracing Individuality: Defiance and Resilience in "Decisions
Lyrics
I wear the past ten years under my eyes
I carry the weight of the past ten years visibly in my eyes.
I try to hide it, I can't disguise it, I'll never know the reason why
I attempt to conceal it, but I can't mask it, and I'll never understand why.
And it seems to me that nobody wants to listen to what I have to say
It appears that people are unwilling to hear what I have to say.
We've all got troubles
We all have difficulties.
We've all got problems that we hide
We all have problems that we keep hidden.
Bottle them up inside
We suppress and internalize our problems.
You told me make a decision
You advised me to make a decision.
You told me I can't live my life like that
You instructed me not to live my life in a particular way.
But I've been dead before and I'd rather be living
Despite experiencing hardship, I prefer being alive than dead.
So go ahead and keep trying
Continue attempting, but you won't extinguish my passion.
But you'll never put out my fire
Asserting resilience, implying that external influences won't dampen their spirit.
So you're gonna watch me burn
A metaphorical expression suggesting that others will witness their determination despite obstacles.
You got a problem with the way I think
Someone disapproves of my thought process.
You got a problem with the way I see
Someone disagrees with my perspective.
They tellin me that I should bite my tongue
External pressure to withhold expressing one's opinions.
Lately I feel like I'm the only one
Feeling isolated in having a divergent viewpoint.
You say that I should walk your walk
Suggestion to conform to another's behavior.
I'd rather run leave you behind
Preference for individuality and leaving behind those who don't align.
Don't tell me I should talk your talk
Rejecting the idea of conforming to someone else's communication style.
The words I speak are only mine
Emphasizing that their words are unique and personal.
And it seems to me that nobody wants to listen to what I have to say
Reiteration that people are unwilling to listen to their perspective.
You told me make a decision
Reiteration of the advice to make a decision.
You told me I can't live my life like that
Reiteration of the instruction not to live life in a particular way.
But I've been dead before and I'd rather be living
Despite facing challenges, the preference is for a meaningful life.
So go ahead and keep trying
Encouragement to persist, with a belief that personal determination won't be extinguished.
But you'll never put out my fire
Asserting resilience and independence, implying that their passion won't be easily extinguished.
So you're gonna watch me burn
Metaphorical imagery of others witnessing their strength and determination despite challenges.
